What the Evidence Shows

Multiple independent sources confirm that during an interview on Fox News, Donald Trump was asked about how to fix the country or bring it together, and he responded with the phrase 'I couldn’t care less. ' This statement was reported by Mediaite, HuffPost UK, and Alternet.org, all citing the same interview context where Trump expressed indifference toward political unity or addressing radical elements from both left and right.

The reports consistently describe Trump’s remark as a direct quote in response to questions about national political discord and unity. While some opinion pieces (e.g., Common Dreams) discuss the implications of his stance, the factual claim about the quote itself is well-supported.

There is no credible contradictory evidence disputing that Trump made this statement on Fox News.
