President Donald Trump admitted he “couldn’t care less” about “fixing the country” when asked Friday about radicals on the left and right, Mediaite reports.

Trump spoke to Fox News about the political discord facing the United States in the aftermath of right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk's murder.

“Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt, remarked on the swelling inflammation of right-wing and left-wing extremists and their emerging penchant for violence in the months leading up to the assassination of Kirk, who himself professed arguments that critics accuse of being extremist or racist.

“What do we do about our country?” Earhardt asked Trump as he complained about the state of the nation. “We have radicals on the right and left, people are watching videos and cheering, some people are cheering that Charlie was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?”

Trump answered by trying to justify the violent rhetoric on the right.

“I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble: I couldn’t care less,” Trump said. “Radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime.”

He then proceeded to blame violence on the left.

“Radicals on the left are the problem and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, open borders. Worst thing that happened to this country,” Trump said, while ignoring right-wing attacks on left or centrist politicians by right-wing assailants.

Earlier this year, an attacker broke into the Pennsylvania home of Gov. Josh Shapiro and set it on fire, forcing Shapiro and his family to flee. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was also bludgeoned with a hammer by a man who broke into their San Francisco home in 2022.

Kirk’s murder came just three months after former Minnesota House of Representatives speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman were shot and killed in their home.
