The 60 wildest lines from Donald Trump's New York City speech

A doozy.

(Donald Trump)

Donald Trump took a break from the campaign trail over the weekend — returning to New York City to speak to a group of young Republicans.

The crowd was rabidly pro Trump. And the former president played to the audience, giving a decidedly red meat speech — although, really, does he have another kind of speech?

Anywho, I went through his remarks — shout out to Rev for the transcript! — and highlighted the lines you need to see. They’re below.

1. “I know Wall Street very well for a lot of years working here, owning property on Wall Street and being in this great city that’s under tremendous siege right now.”

“I know Wall Street very well for a lot of years working here.” Good English! And away we go!

2. “But when we were at four years and we were fighting because we had a rigged election like nobody’s ever seen before, and a lot of people thought it could happen maybe sooner, and it should have happened sooner because of what they did, a bunch of cheaters, they are cheaters like nobody’s ever cheated before, third-world country.”

What is the “it” in this sentence referring to? I read the line five times and I still have no idea.

3. “We cannot have you be depressed because we’re going to take New York and if you lose her, you’ll be a very depressed person, you won’t be able to do your job.”

Focus here on Trump saying — I think — that he is going to win New York in 2024. (He said the same thing in 2020, by the way.)

4. “I believe we have a great chance of winning New York, Rudy. I think we have a great chance.”

So he was saying he has a chance to win New York! He, by the way, does not. (He lost 61%-38% in 2020.)

5. “You know I pardoned Bernie and he was very emotional when I did it right. I didn’t know he cried. I never thought he cried when he was a little baby, but he was very emotional, and now Bernie is cleaner, this is the expression they say, I never quite understood it, than a newborn baby’s ass.”

Trump is talking here about former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who he pardoned in February 2020. Also, Trump doesn’t appear to understand the phrase “cleaner than a newborn baby’s ass.” So, there’s that.
