Donald Trump said in a sworn deposition that he was too tied up with saving the world from a “nuclear holocaust” to have oversight of his company and commit alleged fraud.

A transcript of the former president’s seven-hour April interview with the New York attorney general’s office as part of a civil fraud case against him and his company was unsealed Wednesday.

When grilled about his role at the Trump Organization while he was in the White House, Trump said his “role was gone.” “So you were too busy for the company?” Trump was asked. “In a way, yeah,” he answered. He went on to say he considered the presidency “the most important job in the world, saving millions of lives.”

“I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea,” he continued. “I think you would have a nuclear war, if I weren’t elected. And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth.”

1. He's jealous because Kim is two-timing him with his best friend Putin They exchanged love letters

2. Wait! I thought they were buddies and he could avert nuclear war with just a phone call.

3. Oh, BULLSHIT!

I suspect Trump would have loved to drop a nuclear bomb if he thought he could get away with it.

9. I am so tired about hearing about North Korea's nuclear weapons..

They have at most 50 and that’s a really high estimate in my opinion. Probably in the range of 10 to 25 kilotons. No telling how reliable they are.

Their delivery systems are spotty at best. Most would probably have to be delivered by aircraft.

Are they dangerous, yes. But to think if North Korea uses one, the rest of the planet is going jump in and start launching thousands of warheads is ridiculous.

We are talking about a country that cannot feed its own people.

10. In Trump's mind, kissing Kim's ass was a world saving gesture.

The rest of us were just disgusted by the demonstration.

11. Too busy holding rallies

And tweeting his bs to take care of business?

The people he hired were all crooks?

12. "...if you want to know the truth."

If I wanted to know the "truth" I wouldn't be talking to you, stupid idiot.

Subsequently, if I want the truth, I listen to what you say, then understand that the truth is the exact opposite of that.

The fool did nothing to stop North Korea from expanding its nuclear capabilities. He allowed them to become more dangerous.

13. Mexico must be relieved. I doubt it was Russia, China or North Korea.

Q: Mr. Trump, are you currently the person with ultimate decision-making authority for the Trump Organization?
A: No.
Q: Who would that be?
A: My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am.

Poor Eric -- so desperate for paternal approval, and dear old Dad threw him under the bus....
