President Donald Trump spoke with Atlantic about a different situation than his first term as president, telling reporters in an article published on Monday that his second term is now "and the world."
"For the first time, I have two things to do - compete for the country and survive; I have these distorted guys." "The second time, I run the country and the world."
"I'm so happy considering my job," he added. "You know, what I'm doing is such a serious thing."
Trump recently announced in a truth-clarifying social position that he would sit down with Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic for an interview and said he agreed to "out of curiosity."

The Atlantic reported that people inside and outside the White House have been saying that Trump has become more interesting in his second term.
The president also spoke to the Atlantic about the media and tech billionaires including Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos.
"He's 100 percent. He's great," the president said of Bezos. Trump added: "Zuckerberg is great."
"At some point, they gave up at some point," Trump said in an interview. Atlantic journalists said they suspected that he was referring specifically to Bezos.
Trump praised Bezos for trying to do "real work" in the Post in an interview in late March after Amazon founders made several changes in last year's newspaper.

The president also spoke about his opposition in the Atlantic interview, believing that the Democrats have lost confidence.
"I don't think they know what they're doing. I don't think they don't have leaders. You know, if you ask me now, I know a lot about the Democratic Party, right? I can't tell you who their leaders are. I can't tell you, I've seen someone on the horizon."
The president is also committed to complying with the Supreme Court ruling, which is due to the left criticism of him for violating court orders.
“You have to do that,” he told the Atlantic.

"This is not something I want to do. I think it's hard to do," Trump said during his third term.
