Former President Donald Trump speaks about 'dark forces' he claims are arrayed against him in a new interview with Dr. Phil McGraw, then goes on to claim his darkest moments involve what wife Melania reads in the press.
The TV host with a degree in psychology sat for an hour with the former president, and asked him about solitary moments 'when you're home alone' or 'riding in a car.'
'What is the hardest, darkest moment that you can think of in this journey?' Dr. Phil asked him on streaming channel Merit+.
That prompted Trump to talk about 'evil forces' he said were controlling President Joe Biden.
'You have to be very strong. You're fighting very evil forces and they're very smart forces. There are people that control Biden. Totally true. I think I know who they are largely. But there are people that control him. They're very smart, very energetic. Possibly they're real believers, what their sick ideology is. But you have to be smart and you have to have confidence,' Trump told him.

Dr. Phil again tried to probe Trump about darkness he faces, in his first interview since a Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 counts in the Stormy Daniels trial.
'When the crowds aren’t cheering, what’s the darkest moment you think of?' he asked.
'The hardest part for me is family,”'Trump responded. 'It’s hard on my family. I have a very good wife, and she reads this c***,' he said.
Multiple Trump family members attended the trial. They included sons Don Jr. and Eric, and daughter Tiffany, although Melania Trump did not attend his trial, which resulted in conviction on charges of falsifying business records related to paying off the porn star.
