Trump is making his supporters wait for him in this heat
Trump is wearing a jacket in 100 degree heat
"Bullshit" is the new signature word at the Trump rallies

TRUMP: We only have a few hours
CROWD: *silent*
TRUMP: It's 110. But it doesn't feel that way to me, right?
CROWD: *groans*
TRUMP: And if anybody goes down, we have people that will pick you up right away. They'll throw water.
Trump in Vegas: "Next year what we'll do, we'll meet in Venezuela because it's gonna be a lot safer -- unless you make me president."
"Hispanican"

Trump claims migrants are "fighting our families, they're totally destroying our black population, they're totally destroying our Hispanic population." #wut
Trump's audience in Vegas is silent as he downplays the heat and complains about his teleprompters

"We're gonna bring it back to four years ago" -- four years ago we were quarantining at home amid mass death as Trump bungled a pandemic

"He's a deranged, dumb guy. He's a dumb son of a bitch" -- Trump on Special Counsel Jack Smith
Trump is now ranting about batteries and shark attacks. I dare you to try to make sense of this.
Trump's rant about electric vehicles has put his audience in Vegas to sleep. Get a load of this. Not a peep from the crowd.
"If you went with the death penalty, you would have no drug problem in this country ... if it was meaningful. Not a trial that lasts 400 years" -- Trump touts China-style executions for drug dealers
"When we get in, it's gonna go very rapidly. We're gonna do a lot of things. We're gonna look very strongly at J6. There has never been people treated more horrifically than J6 hostages" -- Trump
Trump: "Those J6 warriors, they were warriors. But really more than anything else they are victims of what happened. All they were doing is protesting a rigged election."
"George Slopadopolous"
"These people back here, they hate us" -- Trump's rallies these days are pretty much exclusively covered by right-wing outlets that love him but ok
Trump abruptly wraps up his speech without doing his usual routine at the end
