Trump made a big mistake when he tried to change the subject from David Packer's testimony by calling the racist attack in Charlottesville nothing.
Trump said:
Taking your breath away in this room, you saw what happened. It was a breathtaking and amazing testimony. This is a trial that should never have happened. This is a case that should never have been brought and it was a truly incredible, incredible day, open your eyes and we cannot allow this to continue with our country.
But another question, you know the economy is very bad, the stock market is down, and there's some scary numbers coming out, including very high inflation numbers and specifically gasoline, $7.50 in California, which is usually the leader. the way it is going to go. it happens here too.

And it's very important when you look at different colleges across the country and outside of colleges because it happens in other areas as well. You see what is happening on the front line with Palestine and Israel, with protests and hate. Anger.
Biden is sending an absolutely terrible message, a terrible, terrible message. He has no idea how to send the message that he can't talk. He can't connect two sentences together, he doesn't know what to do. This is not our president. This is someone who shouldn't be doing what he's doing because he can't do it. He can't do it. Well, we're protesting all over the place. He was talking about Charlottesville. Charlottesville was a tiny peanut and it was nothing to compare. And the hate wasn't the hate you have here. This is tremendous hate. And we have a man who can't talk about it because he doesn't understand it. He does not understand what is happening to our country. He doesn't understand that we are being laughed at as a country all over the world because of him and his administration.

Trump cannot control himself. He should slow down the offense in Charlottesville any chance he gets. Trump should just stand by the racists and neo-Nazis.
Trump was so shocked by David Pecker's testimony that he ran out to try to change the subject. All of Trump's points about America being in such dire straits are wishful thinking on his part. Trump needs something to go wrong in America or he will lose the election.
The former president needs to divide the American people and anger them because that is his only way to avoid federal criminal charges.
Trump is desperate, and if you want to understand how damaging David Packer's testimony was, watch his meltdown outside the courthouse.
