it sounds like Trump has a laugh track
Trump on his first term: "I think you had very little chaos."
Lol.
Trump on his handling of covid: "We did a great job."
BAIER: Can you say tonight that political violence is never acceptable?
TRUMP: Well of course that's right
(That's not exactly a yes)
"I am not going to be a dictator" -- Trump
of all the things that didn't happen, this is the thing that didn't happen the most
Trump: "I already started to like Christie better"
dipping into the GOP debate and it appears Haley and DeSantis are fighting each other to the death for second place
I'm so old I remember "15 days to slow the spread" ...
Trump says that Fauci wasn't really a factor in his administration, but was after Biden took office. We noticed!
Asked about his comment that he's rooting for an economic crash during the next 12 months, Trump says he didn't say the thing he's on tape saying
Trump claims Biden (not Putin!) caused Russia's war on Ukraine

Trump: "We are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of the country."
Trump says a Fox report about people on the terror watchlist crossing the border is "beautiful" from his standpoint
Baier asks Trump about revelations he received money from foreign governments while in office and asks him if he will divest from his businesses during a second term. Trump dodges the question, which means no, and does a promo for his private clubs.
yep, they're still fighting to the death for second place
Trump takes credit for "terminating" the right to an abortion: "I did it. And I'm proud to have done it."
Trump on DeSantis: "I watched him last night. He's standing up with his shoes. His fancy shoes."
Trump lies that Democrats are "willing to kill" babies "after birth." Zero pushback from the Fox News hosts.
Trump calls Viktor Orbán "a great leader" and "strong" and touts his endorsement
BAIER: Would you be committed to NATO in a second Trump term?
TRUMP: Depends if they treat us properly
DeSantis and Haley are still fighting to the death for the biggest participation trophy

Trump is wearing black and a hat that makes it hard to see his eyes. He was in bad shape during his last rally.
