‘A Terrible, Terrible Thing’: Trump Lashes Out Moments Before Taking the Stand in Fraud Trial
Former President Donald Trump reiterated many of his attacks on Attorney General Letitia James in a press gaggle before entering a New York courtroom where he is scheduled to testify in a fraud trial.
Trump said:
So while Israel is being attacked, while trade is being attacked, while inflation is eating our country alive, I’m down here that these are all political opponents. Attack ads by the Biden administration. Their poll numbers on terrorism show what happened today. The New York Times and CBS came out with a poll that I’m leading all over the place. But it’s a very unfair situation. This is really election interference. And so let me just try this (is how) ridiculous the numbers are. Much greater than on the financial side, and we’ve already proven that they said Mar-a-Lago resort, $18 million … Mar-a-Lago was anywhere from probably 50 to 100 times more than that.
And it’s a terrible, terrible thing. These are political operatives that I’m going to be dealing with right now. You have a racist attorney general who’s made some terrible statements and we see some more that came out the wires today. And it’s a very sad situation for our country. We shouldn’t have this. Discredit the third world countries. And it’s very unfair. It’s very unfair. But in the meantime, the people, as they understand it, they see it and they don’t like it… Political warfare, as you would call it, political warfare…. usually it takes place in third world countries and banana republics. Nobody’s ever seen that to this extent. We’ve never seen it here. But we will go along and we will obviously do very well in every regard and we’ll win the election and we will make America great again. That’s all I need to do. We’re going to make America great again. But we have to take away from the circus that.
“What you heard there was a campaign speech,” is how CNN’s John Berman correctly described what Trump said as he effectively repeated everything he’s posted on Truth Social regarding this case ad nuaseum.
