Trump amuses Jake Paul after revealing he played peacemaker to stop fight involving Kobe Bryant

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Donald Trump surprised Jake Paul sharing a story involving the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant. The president sat down for an interview with the YouTuber-turned-boxer, covering a range of topics on Friday, March 13.

During the 27-minute long interview, Paul asked Trump if he “ever been in a fight? I heard a rumor about you, like, helping Kobe one time at a game. Is that a true story?”

Trump says he helped Kobe Bryant while he was 'having a hard time with somebody'

The 79-year-old President told the Paul, “It was a long time ago. Well, it wasn’t a fight. I was breaking up a fight, which sometimes is more dangerous than being in a fight, right? I like Kobe.”

“Kobe was having a hard time with somebody and it worked out fine, but yeah, I broke it up. Probably not a smart thing to do. Historically, it’s never good to break up fights,” Trump added.

At one point during the sit-down, Paul even asked Trump whom he should fight in his next competition, and the Republican leader suggested retired Russian MMA star Khabib Nurmagomedov as Paul’s next potential opponent.

Trump wants to reincarnate himself in past

Another interesting question Paul asked was, “If you could come back in history and reincarnate and, like, be able to experience someone else’s life, who would you come back in history as?”

Trump called it an “interesting question” as he answered, “Maybe Donald Trump right now. I think Donald Trump right now. My life is very exciting. I have to be honest. I’m thinking about other lives. I think my life is maybe more exciting. I don’t know. Look, I’ve had a great time.”

Trump claims US was doing badly during Biden administration

During the sit down, Trump also praised his immigration policies while thrashing former president Joe Biden.

“I started off with the phrase, Make America Great Again. Our country was in trouble. We were doing badly, 2015, we had the open border, nothing like it was under [Joe] Biden – but it was bad,” Trump stated.

Further continuing, Trump noted that in the past, “a lot of people coming and bad people from jails, from mental institutions, gang members, murderers. We had 11,888 murderers come into our country.”

Trump, however, claimed that his administration is “trying to get all of them out. They should have never been allowed in.”

“And then the second time now we’ve had nobody come into our country in the last nine months. I mean like literally nobody,” he added.
