During Part Two of Sean Hannity’s interview with President Trump aboard Air Force One, Trump revealed that he knew running for another term would be dangerous, but he felt he had to do it — and win — or the country was finished.

“Do you ever think that, in the end, despite all that they threw at you, it was better that you had a break between terms?” Hannity asked Trump.

“I knew that running was very dangerous because I knew how evil these people were. They lie, they cheat, they’re a horrible group of people. I knew that if I ran, I exposed myself to a lot of danger — but I felt I had to. Especially, after they started, they started destroying this country, open borders. I couldn’t believe it,” Trump said.

“After doing an incredible job of building hundreds and hundreds of miles of wall and we were doing so good. And we had the border under control until [Biden] came in,” Trump continued. “I said, ‘Wow, he really wants open borders.’ And that means people coming from all over the world. From prisons. From mental Institutions. From gangs in Venezuela and other countries…I had to run. If I didn’t run — if I didn’t win this election — this country would have been finished,” Trump said.

“You would have had radical lunatics, people rioting … the Great Experiment would have ended very badly,” Trump added.

“They wanted to have me locked up for a hundred years.”
