Hopefully you were busy and did not watch.
But earlier today, convicted felon Donald Trump held a press conference speech for around 35 minutes. It was incoherent. It was bizarre. It was unhinged. He took no questions.
After watching that – does anyone think this man has the capacity to lead our country?
Here are 34 highlights lowlights from Trump’s performance:
- “If they can do this to me they can do this to anyone.” (other people typically don’t allegedly pay hush money to a pornstar they had an affair with)
- “They want to stop you from having cars.” (uh, no)
- “I’m under a gag order, which nobody’s ever been under.” (other people have also been under gag orders while on trial)
- “Think of it, I’m the leading candidate. I’m leading Biden by a lot, and I’m leading the Republicans to the point where that’s over.” (the primary has been over for over two months)
- “This is done by Washington.” (the trial was in New York)
- “It was very unfair.” (it was not)
- “I wanted to testify… to this day I would have liked to have testified.” (He could have testified. He chose not to)
- “I’m out there and I don’t mind being out there.” (He very much does mind being out there.)
- “It was a rigged trial.” (It was not.)
- “As far as the trial itself, It was very unfair.” (It was not.)
- “Let me give you the good news.” (There was no good news.)
- “He wouldn’t allow us to have witnesses.” (Trump team’s had witnesses.)
- “The unselect committee of thugs.” (tbh fantastic fantasy football team name.)
- “By the way, and nothing ever happened. There was no anything.” (Do you understand this because we don’t.)
- “I don’t feel 77.” (He looks older)
- “So it’s not hush money, it’s a non disclosure agreement totally legal. Totally common. Everyone has it.” (So he admits it)
- “It should have been a non case and everybody said it was a non case.” (???)
- “You saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were on our side, they were literally crucified by this man who looks like an angel, but he’s really a devil. He looks so nice and soft.” (Woahhh)
- “Our elections are corrupt.” (No they aren’t.)
- “Languages… we haven’t even heard of.” (We have heard of these languages.)
- “Nobody knows where they get it [money].” (FEC reports)
- “I could go through the books of any business person in the city and I could find things that in theory I guess let’s indict him.” (No he couldn’t.)
- “Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy, Gregg Jarrett, you look at all of these people, Mark Levin, all very talented people.” (These are not talented people.)
- “I’m honored to be involved in it because somebody has to do it.” (you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to them”)
- “There was nothing wrong. These were standard. This was standard stuff, all standard stuff, everything involved with standard, there was no crime here.” (A jury of his peers unanimously disagrees)
- “Everybody says there’s no crime here.” (A jury of his peers unanimously disagrees)
- “I don’t want to have it backfire. I don’t know, I want to win this thing legitimately not because they were stupid and did things that they shouldn’t be doing.” (huh?)
- “We have people coming from corners of the globe. And many of them are not good people.” (On this corner of the globe, we do not understand this.)
- “Our kids can’t have a Little League game anymore.” (kids are having Little League games, we promise)
- “Crime is rampant in New York.” (Crime is down in NYC)
- “Like, it was a beautiful, sunny day and it was actually raining out.” (many days during Trump’s trial had nice weather.)
- “I’m supposed to go to jail for 187 years.” (actually not true at all)
- “Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country. He’s the worst president in the history of our country.” (This is, in fact, you.)
- “They have beautiful tents, they have propane stoves.” (Bass Pro Shop?)
The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer:
“Anyone who bothered to watch a diminished, incoherent, and deranged Donald Trump would come away with one conclusion: This man cannot be President of the United States.”
