Donald Trump went to Waco, Texas, on Saturday night for the first formal rally of his 2024 presidential campaign. His 95-minute speech emphasized personal grievances — especially the prospective prosecution of the former president for paying hush money to a porn actress.
“Every piece of my personal life, financial life, business life, and public life has been turned upside down and dissected like no one in the history of our country,” Trump told his supporters.
Trump denies the affair with Stormy Daniels and has also denied any wrongdoing connected to payments made to Miss Daniels on his behalf.
Trump framed the investigations of him — three separate prosecutions — as the “weaponization of the justice system,” calling it “the central issue of our time.”
And he claimed the “biggest threat” to the United States isn’t China or Russia but “high-level politicians that work in the U.S. government like McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden.”
“You will be vindicated and proud, the thugs and criminals who are corrupting our justice system will be defeated, discredited, and totally disgraced,” Trump said.
