After a week of inciting violence, death and destruction from his social network in case he is criminally charged in New York, Donald Trump avoided that extreme rhetoric live and direct.
But the former president used the cataloged first rally of his campaign for the 2024 elections, held at the Waco airport (Texas) this Saturday, to devote a good part of the hour and a half of speech to present himself as the victim of the persecutory conspiracy hatched by the Democrats, in what he described as “a horror show of Stalinist Russia” or a “banana republic”.
As if he were an angel fallen from heaven, in fact he parked his plane right next to the dais from which he addressed his fans, Trump described himself as the most honest man in the world, to whom the state sewers and ” the department of injustice” have turned around all his affairs (political, financial, business, family) without finding anything.
“From the beginning it has been a witch hunt and false investigations one after the other,” he proclaimed to a public without any critical capacity regarding what his leader said. Many of those gathered held signs with the legend “witch hunt” to underline Trump’s phrases.
“The abuses of power that we are seeing at all levels of government are among the most shameful, corrupt and vicious in the history of the United States,” he stressed.
His speech, in which he once again insisted on the falsehood that he won the 2020 elections and on other verified lies, exposed the framework of a campaign totally marked and focused on himself, as well as on all the judicial matters that surround him.
But he stressed that his problems are, in reality, the problems of his followers. “They’re not coming for me, they’re coming for you.” In this group of victims are the assailants of the Capitol, an action that he encouraged, “patriots who have done nothing and those who destroy their lives.” They are treated horribly in prisons, he said.
“I am the most innocent man in the world,” he said after indicating that the investigations opened against him have ended in nothing. And those that are underway are only the product of “the instrumentalization of our justice system, which is the central issue of our time.”
At no time did he mention the names over which this week he covered anger over the possible criminal charges for allegedly bribing a porn actress for her silence. He didn’t say anything about her, about Stormy Daniels, not even allusions. He also did not give the name of Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and now the main prosecution witness in that matter, but described him as a convicted criminal, liar and infiltrator of Hillary Clinton, a rival in the 2016 elections who maintains the aura of being the worst for the public. Trumpists, who are highly motivated.
Cohen served three years in prison because he was the one who paid the bribe, although the summary shows that he acted in coordination with “individual 1”, who is none other than Trump.
He even seemed benevolent with Alvin Bragg, the chief Manhattan prosecutor handling the matter, because after having called him “racist” (he is African-American) and “animal”, this time he referred to him as a poor employee who did not buy the subject but that they had forced him to reopen it from Washington by sending him an adviser.
He falsely said that the prosecutors Bragg found upon taking office in 2022 resigned when he decided to reinvestigate the alleged bribery. Those prosecutors resigned because the new chief did not want to continue an investigation into Trump’s business dealings.
Of course, the investigations into his assault on Congress or his attempt to rig the election results in Georgia are all set-ups, while Joe Biden is a “cold criminal.”
In addition to resorting to old hits, the same type of phrases that he has been repeating since 2016, although his apocalyptic tone has increased due to the existence of a conjunction of forces (internationalists, communists, socialists, radical lunatic democrats) that is destroying the country. , already in the abyss, the candidate Trump dedicated a few minutes to Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida who emerges as one of his possible rivals in the electoral race.
“It’s falling like a rock,” he said after citing the polls among Republicans. He called ‘DeSanctimonious’ (meapilas) disloyal and an airhead.
He left the scene and returned to his Trump Force One heading to his Mar-a-Lago mansion, to observe the country from the golf course, waiting to find out what happens with the expected indictment.
