President Donald Trump said his administration’s mass deportation efforts “might be too tough” in an interview with 60 Minutes that aired Sunday, his first sit-down since Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress. Asked by correspondent Ross Douthat whether the deportation policy had gone too far, Trump replied, “I think it was too tough. I think it might be too tough.” The comments came days after Democrats secured majorities in the House and Senate in the Nov. 3 midterms, with immigration enforcement widely viewed as a contributing factor in the Republican losses. The same week, Trump named Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration’s hardline immigration strategy, as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin posted “Deportations will continue” the day after the election. Administration figures earlier in the year cited more than 605,000 formal deportations and approximately 1.9 million self-deportations. In the same interview, Trump also addressed a Forbes estimate that his net worth had increased by roughly $3 billion since he returned to office, from about $4.3 billion to $7.3 billion. Trump responded, “Well, so did everyone’s.” When Douthat noted that his own net worth had not risen by that amount, Trump said, “Well, you should have had stock.” He added that he “devote[s] almost no time to my net worth” and that his son handles his finances. He also noted that he does not take a presidential salary. The double-length segment, taped Friday at the White House, covered additional topics including the midterm results, the prospect of working with the new Democratic majorities, the wars in Iran and Ukraine, the economy, and potential congressional investigations. When asked whether he believes he is going to heaven, Trump said, “I hope so. I don’t want to go to hell.” 60 Minutes said an extended version of the interview would be posted on YouTube after the broadcast. Source: 60minutes #lunionsuite #haitianamerican - @lunionsuite_
