Steve Herman"That was a rigged election," says Donald Trump at the top of his appearance on CNN 'Town Hall' from #NewHampshire about #Election2020, repeating previous lies. "They were stuffing ballot boxes."
"We wanted to give you a chance to acknowledge the results," says Kaitlan Collins. "There is no evidence of that."
"We weren't living up to the Constitution" in 2020, says Trump on live program on CNN. "That was a horrible election."
Asked if he has any regrets about any of his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump replies about the crowd: "They thought the election was rigged."
"I offered them 10,000 soliders" to respond to the US Capitol on Jan. 6, claims Trump. "They turned it down."
"I have 90 million people waiting for me to go back" to #Twitter "but I'm staying on Truth" Social, says Trump.
He doesn't owe Mike Pence an apology for endangering his life on Jan. 6th, 2021 because the vice president "did something wrong" by conducting the ceremonial certification of the Electoral College vote, says Trump live on CNN. "It was a horrible thing for our country."
"Many of them are just great people," says Trump of the Jan. 6 rioters. As far as pardoning the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, "I'd have to look at their case."
"My poll numbers went up" after the federal civil court conviction for sexual abuse, claims Trump. "I never met this woman."
"I can't take it back," says Trump of his infamous 'Access Hollywood' comment about grabbing women by their genitals.
"Earlier in the day, when the president flew from DC to NY, the televisions were set to CNN. But on the way back, when press boarded the plane & amid the Trump town hall on that network, the televisions were set to MSNBC," notes traveling pool reporter Francesa Chambers on Air Force One.
US defaulting on its debt could be very bad or maybe nothing, according to Trump. "You're going to default eventually anyway."
Teachers "are people that really understand weapons," says Trump, when asked about #GunControl, advocating arming more educators in the classrooms.
Asked numerous times if he'd commit to a federal #abortion ban, Trump does not give a definitive answer.
Thursday, with the end of #Title42 "will be a day of infamy," predicts Trump on CNN, with "millions of people pouring into our country right now at a level never seen before."
Trump again claims to have built "hundreds of mile" of border wall and he was going to do more "but there was a rigged election," he says on CNN.
"Mr. President it was only about 52 miles of new wall," says host Kaitlan Collins.
Sean McCabe@w7voa she needs to stop calling him "Mr President"
Mori@darthstar @w7voa Yeah is that a US tradition, to address a former president like that, or is it a total screwup? Maybe it’s to humour him and keep him engaged and giving up the goods (bile). Either way that man is not president.
Deb has moved! (see profile) 🇨🇦@mori @darthstar @w7voa the Americans used to call all ex-presidents "Mr. President", I noticed. But the tradition stopped with TFG, since many journalists couldn't stomach calling him that, and made up various alternatives: ex-, former, twice-impeached, once indicted former ...
@deborahh @darthstar @w7voa Ok, so at the very least, and I don’t agree with it at all, but it’s partly explained by tradition. Yet when The Former Guy still claims to be President, it has a whole other dimension and should not be done. He’ll probably point to this clips as proof he is still prez. 🤮
Grandpa Don@mori @deborahh @darthstar @w7voa
It's a good thing I will never be called upon to address him. Not only would I not say "President;" I would not say "Mr."
