Poilievre:

BD: The Conservatives obviously have taken a hit in the polls since some of the comments that you’ve made that the Liberals have leaned into. Do you think that they’re still going to be able to pull it out up there?

DJT: Well, I think his biggest problem is he’s not a MAGA guy, you know? I mean, he’s really not he’s not a Trump guy at all.

BD: He’s more of a throwback Republican.

DJT: He’s… different. Make it a big mistake. They all make that mistake. You know. They think they’re going to be the tough guy and they’re going to knock out Trump, and they end up getting the hell beat out of ’em. So I don’t know. I mean, I can’t tell you, Pierre. I just don’t know. I don’t like what he’s saying about me. It’s just not positive about me. And we’ve done a great job.

Freeland:

BD: He clearly made a decision early on that he needed to get to know you. But that’s not been the attitude of some of these other left-of-center politicians. Chrystia Freeland up in Canada, who was doing a debate, she’s trying to lead the Liberal Party up there now into this election. And she said that there needs to be a nuclear alliance with other European nations, and Japan, against the United States, because you’re predatory.

DJT: She’s terrible. I’ll tell you what. I know her very well.

BD: I’m sorry.

DJT: I know her very well. She’s absolutely terrible for the country. She’s incompetent in many respects and can only cause ill will for Canada. In fact, Governor Trudeau understood that. I call him “governor.” Governor Trudeau understood that. And he actually fired her because of a meeting he had with me. I said, “she is so bad. She’s bad for the country.” You know, if she were talented. I know people that are sort of bad people, but they do a good job running a country. Who’s going to get the nomination, do you think?

BD: I don’t know, after that debate, they all seemed— she was the nuttiest, but they all seemed pretty nutty to me.

DJT: She’s a whack.
