Trump tells Hannity ‘horrible situation’ along southern border could ‘destroy’ America
Trump's first on-camera interview since leaving White House airs Monday on “Hannity”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former President Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity the situation along the southern border "could destroy our country" during his first on-camera interview since leaving the White House.
The "Hannity" namesake asked the former president how dangerous the crisis along the border is and why the mainstream media has largely given a pass to President Biden for "cages overflowing with kids" in the middle of a global pandemic when it was so quick to vilify Trump at every turn.

"People are pouring in. But you’ll see something as the months go by like you’ve never seen before. Already it’s like you’ve never seen before. There’s never been anything like what’s happened at our border," Trump continued. "People are coming in by the tens of thousands. They’re walking in. They -- we had -- all they had to do was leave it alone."
Hannity also asked the former president if Republicans seeking House and Senate seats in 2022 should run on the "Make America Great Again" agenda.
