Former President Donald Trump told reporters he wants to celebrate his wife Melania Trump’s birthday in Florida on Friday, but he won’t be able to spend the day with her because of a “rigged” criminal trial in Manhattan. Told.
Before going to trial, Trump wished his wife a “happy birthday” and promised to return to Florida on Friday night and spend as much time as possible with her.
President Trump said, “First of all, I would like to sincerely wish my wife, Melania, a happy birthday.” “I wish she could be with her, but I’m in court for a fraudulent trial.”
“This is a rigged trial. It’s terrible. But we’re doing very well with this rigged trial. Everyone knows that,” he said.
“But I have to start by wishing Melania a happy birthday,” he added. “She’s in Florida. She’s going to be there tonight once this horrible constitutional violation is over.”
A recent poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that only about one-third of American adults believe President Trump acted illegally in the incident.
Trump also highlighted the Congressional report on his trial and praised the Supreme Court’s argument Thursday regarding presidential immunity.
We have a report that the House Judiciary just released on the district attorney’s office that Congress did. So, I think it just came out a little while ago, just a few minutes ago. I haven’t seen it yet. I have never read it. But it should be interesting. …The incident is over. I heard what you said, and that should be the end of the case. But you have to make that decision. I think there is a judge who will never allow this case to end on a good note. He’s very conflicted, the most conflicted judge I’ve ever seen.
Yesterday I had to deal with immunity in the Supreme Court. I heard this argument. It was great. I listened to it last night. I thought it was really amazing. I think the questions asked by the judges were also good. Every president must have immunity. This has nothing to do with me, not at all. Every president must have immunity, otherwise there would be no president, certainly not the president the Founders wanted.
“We’re going to be in court again, in a frigid courtroom. It’s very cold in there – I think it’s intentional. I can’t seem to get my body temperature up. It shouldn’t be that complicated,” Trump concluded. . “Our courthouses are frigid, but that’s okay. No problem at all. Let’s keep handing out. It’s a rigged trial.”
