During an interview with Tucker Carlson in Arizona on Thursday (October 31), Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could play “influential roles” in a possible second term as president.

Carlson questioned Trump on rumours that he might appoint Musk and Kennedy. Kennedy had initially launched an independent presidential bid but ended his campaign in August, offering his endorsement to Trump.

Carlson asked, “Do you think Bobby Kennedy and Elon Musk will be influential figures, without specifying what roles they would have in your administration?”

Trump responded, “Yeah, I do.”

Trump also criticised Kamala Harris and referred to Liz Cheney as a “war hawk,” suggesting that she should experience the front lines herself to “see how she feels about it.” Cheney, a former congresswoman, has emerged as one of Trump’s more vocal Republican critics.

During their conversation, Trump criticised Cheney, whose father, former vice-president Dick Cheney, played a major role in the Iraq invasion. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are pointed at her.”

Recent polls have indicated that Trump holds a slight lead in Arizona. The interview was framed as a fundraiser for Hurricane Helene relief efforts, a cause fundamental in North Carolina, another battleground state.

“We’re facing an enemy from within. We have some very bad and dangerous people who want to bring down our country, perhaps turn it into a communist or fascist state by any means,” Trump continued. “But these are the greatest con artists. As soon as I mentioned an enemy from within, they quickly jumped on it … calling it an enemy from within. These people are sick puppies.”

Trump also hinted at the possibility of election fraud, suggesting he would claim cheating if he loses in Tuesday’s presidential election. He told Carlson he’s currently leading and implied that “only cheating” could prevent his victory.

“I believe we’re leading by a lot, and … if we can keep the cheating under control because there are a bunch of cheats, we’re going to have a tremendous victory. I think it’ll go down as one of the greatest victories of all time.”
