Fact check: What were Trump's exact words on not caring to bring the country back together?

Checked on September 14, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about Trump's exact words on not caring to bring the country back together. After analyzing the provided sources, it appears that most sources do not contain Trump's exact words on this topic [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. However, one source reports that Trump said 'I couldn’t care less' when asked about mending the political divide [7]. This statement was made in the context of being asked about mending the political divide after Charlie Kirk's death, and Trump instead blamed 'radicals on the left' for being 'vicious' and 'horrible' [7]. Another source notes that Trump has not taken a unifying stance after Charlie Kirk's assassination, instead laying blame on the 'radical left' [8].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key missing context in the original statement is the specific event or situation in which Trump allegedly made the statement about not caring to bring the country back together. Some sources provide context about Charlie Kirk's death [7] [8], while others discuss Trump's general rhetoric and its impact on political violence [5]. Additionally, alternative viewpoints on Trump's stance on national unity are presented, such as his inaugural address where he mentions his desire to be a peacemaker and unifier [3]. It is also worth noting that some sources do not provide any information on Trump's exact words on this topic, which could indicate a lack of available data or a need for further research [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading or biased as it assumes that Trump made a statement about not caring to bring the country back together, without providing context or evidence. This framing could benefit those who oppose Trump by portraying him as divisive and unconcerned with national unity [7] [8]. On the other hand, sources that highlight Trump's desire to be a peacemaker and unifier could benefit those who support Trump by presenting him as a leader who cares about national unity [3]. It is essential to consider multiple sources and evaluate the context in which statements are made to avoid perpetuating misinformation or bias [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
