Trump’s afternoon hallway remarks
Per the pool:
Trump spoke for more than 11 minutes and again quoted extensively from a long list of conservative commentators, while peppering in his own commentary. I’ve tried to parse the two and include only Trump’s words:
“Let me just tell you that the White House is the person, or group, whatever — they’re the one trying this case. You heard who was doing all the talking: representative from the White House. Just recently. This is all about Biden can’t campaign so he’s trying to injure his opponent. They’re trying to hurt the opponent because they can’t win it fair and square. It’s lawfare. There are a lot of terms for it. It’s a third-world country way of campaigning. Such a disgrace. So sad to see what’s happened to our country. Our country’s going to hell under Biden. But look at the person — why don’t you look at the person that argued their case, almost the entire case? Look at the person. Where did he come from? Unbelievable. He came from Biden. And I don’t know if it’s Biden because I don’t think Biden has any idea what the hell’s happening. But it’s the fascist that circle in the Oval Office. They circle the Resolute Desk, the beautiful Resolute Desk that’s being stinked up.”
He complained that, “we had a legal expert, the number one expert on campaign finance law, who wasn’t allowed to participate. He wasn’t allowed to participate. They said he can’t be a witness unless you want to just talk about what’s the definition of the law. And you couldn’t talk to him about anything else.”
“By the way, I’ve just gotten out of court. I haven’t even seen this until – I’m reading it to you now for the first time. I haven’t even looked it over. I’m just giving it to you because everybody says the same thing.”
“The judge hates Donald Trump. Just take a look. Take a look at him. Take a look at where he comes from. He can’t stand Donald Trump. He’s doing everything in his power. I understand that I don’t even have any reliance on counsel. I can’t rely on this guy was counsel. I don’t have any reliance on counsel. I might be the only one ever that doesn’t have a reliance on counsel. We have so many bad decisions. This guy, everything we ask for we get nothing.”
“Do you see how many people from his office [are here] while people are being mugged and killed outside? Never saw anything like it in my life. Nobody has.”
“They’re doing it in 2024 just like they did 2020. Can you imagine with all of the wrongdoing that we found and that you know existed? They’re coming after me for election interference? That’s the classic of all. That’s the classic of all.”
“They’re already cheating on the election with this. And you don’t know what’s happening because the judge is so biased, so corrupt. He’s so corrupt and he’s so conflicted that you never know how these thing… A corrupt judge will far surpass a great case for us. When you have a corrupt judge lots of bad things happen.”
“There’s no evidence and there’s no crime. There’s no crime. Everybody says there’s no crime. Where’s the crime? And these are all your top legal scholars.”
On the judge: “He is so aggressively on their side. But he has to be. He has to be. He has to report. He has to be.”
“So the Democrats thought they were going to take me out with the lawfare. And it’s so bad that at least I have a voice where I can talk to you, the press — in many cases the fake news. But even the fake news has to cover it.”
On the impact: So far, he said, “I’m leading Crooked Joe Biden by a lot. They thought they could take me out with this. And don’t forget I had like eight of them going. This is one. I have others going too and we’re doing very well on them. So – and this goes on and on. There’s not one person — legal scholar — that think this is of merit. Now, I haven’t reviewed everything, but I can see none.”
“It’s so sad. And I appreciate you listening. But I just watched something go in there. And you have to look at the man that did all the talking. Who’s representing? He wasn’t at the DA’s office. He wasn’t in there. He came in for one reason. And where did it come from? He came from Washington, D.C., the White House and the DOJ. And he argued the case. That means it’s Biden. That means it’s election interference by Sleepy Joe, our dumb-as-a-rock president who’s destroying our country with the borders and destroying our country with the worst economy, worst inflation, who allowed Russia to go in to attack Ukraine, who allowed Israel to be attacked and now is not even helping Israel. And Jewish people that go for Biden and the Democrats, they should have their head examined. Thank you very much.”
