After lying and saying FISA was used to spy on his presidential campaign and calling Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to vacate “unfortunate.” Trump said that he would testify at his Manhattan criminal trial:
The whole event was 20 minutes long, including the questions. Trump repeated his dodges on abortion, fearmongered on immigration, and revealed that he is the Newsmax grandpa presidential candidate.
Trump didn’t offer the American people any ideas or solutions, and if a viewer were watching who doesn’t get their news from Fox News or Newsmax, they would have no idea what Trump was talking about.
The Trump-Johnson event was terrible, really bad, almost Saturday Night Live cold open parody bad.
Donald Trump reminded the nation that he is only running for president again to try to avoid a criminal conviction and potentially prison.
