During the interview, Trump was pressed on whether he would be willing to reach out to Biden.

"Would I? You know, if I could help this country, I’d help the country," Trump told Fox News. "But they have a very different view."

The former president said the country "is going to hell" and "is being deserted."

"You know, if we would work on making America great, as opposed to all of the stuff with what they do with their little games, with the other side, with the Democrats, and the fake impeachments, and all of the things that they’ve done, if we would just work on greatness for this country, we would be beating everybody," Trump said. "So quickly, so easily."
