Donald Trump tried to campaign for the first time in weeks and failed to hold together an event that was supposed to take place near the border in Michigan.
Trump stopped talking about the border and said, “So many people get away with it. They say Oh, let him go. Let him go. I’m the only one who has to take out a bond. You know, I took out a bond. I didn’t do anything wrong. This morning I had to post bail for 175 million dollars. I didn’t do anything wrong. Can they shoot someone, kill someone and walk away? Do you think this is a fair policy? This is the so-called radical left.”

It’s not called the radical left. It’s called decades of alleged fraud and crime.
Trump was in very bad shape during this event. His voice was low. He was again chained to his teleprompter and making very low-energy lethargic comments. He continues to point out that Donald Trump can’t hold his own during his campaign appearances.
The former president has been hiding in his private club for weeks, so he has a lot of rest. He hasn’t been on the campaign trail, but Trump is in such a state of decline that Republicans might be better off staying off the campaign trail.
Donald Trump simply can’t cope with anyone on the chopping block, as Republicans have saddled themselves with an exhausted candidate who may soon be a convicted felon.
