Trump resumes attacks on Biden, Ducey in combative Arizona appearance

Source: Arizona Republic

In a characteristically combative speech to more than 15,000 die-hard supporters in Florence, former President Donald Trump resumed his attacks on President Joe Biden, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and the news media to resounding support.

The visit, Trump's first rally of 2022 and his second trip to Arizona since leaving office, gave the former president a chance to renew his grievances and cast his four years in office as a period of unprecedented prosperity and security.

Early in his remarks, Trump cast Biden's administration as an unfolding disaster and continued his baseless claims of widespread election fraud in 2020.

"I love Arizona. We had a tremendous victory in Arizona that was taken away. ... We had a rigged election. ... (The media) refuse to talk about it. The Big Lie is a lot of bull----. That's what it is.

That after his blabbering, that the supporters had to stay there, waiting, in their cars for THREE HOURS until his motorcade left first......
15,000 is not a very big crowd......I'm sure Trump will say it was 150K...........

I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in that type of super spreader event. The health workers are probably ready to throw in the towel.

disrespectful to democrats here on DU to keep feeding trump trolls with leading threads all about some distracting message he wants to promote.......Maybe we should just have a tRrump Forum and not pollute the other Forums leading with this treasonous bastard....

Just my opinion....

I'm not the person that makes the rules or creates the forums here so it really doesn't accomplish anything by complaining to me.

"Biden has utterly humiliated our nation," Trump said, saying that Russia and China's leaders no longer respect or fear America.". Said the man who has a bromance with Putipoo!

World leaders knew he was a joke from the get go.

As someone who worked in newspapers for a few decades, I really wish the media could stop covering him. But unfortunately they can't. As a former president, as flaky as he is, he's news. They can, however, limit the amount of space he gets. I think he gets way too much attention. It's what he lives for. I can only imagine how much being banned from Twitter pissed him off. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he found out. You could have probably heard the bellowing in Moscow.

I have had experience making news judgments, and it seems today EVERYTHING has to be covered. Even insignificant things. I agree that as long as he is blabbing away he will be covered. I don't think that has to be the case forever.
