đșđž WaPo: Trump says he doesnât mind someone shooting at journalists at rally
âI have this piece of glass here,â Trump said. âBut all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. âAnd I donât mind that so much,â Trump said. âI donât mind. I donât mind.â The audience roared with laughter. Trump also said he regretted leaving office after losing the 2020 election and trying to overturn the result. He at one point said he âshouldnât have leftâ the White House, while complaining about Democratsâ handling of the border and returning to his false claims that he won the 2020 election.
That offhanded regret about leaving office? Itâs not wistfulâitâs a seed, planted to cast doubt on whether he should have left at all, suggesting a world where he never conceded, where rules donât apply if they donât suit him. His audience isnât laughing at a joke. Theyâre signaling their commitment to his story. To the bloody end.
