Trump is about to speak at a rally in Waterford Township, Michigan. Follow along for a thread 👇
Fox News is carrying at least part of the Trump rally, which has been rare in recent years
Trump: "They call me a whale. I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't know if they meant a whale from the standpoint of being a little heavy, or a whale because I got a lot of money."
Trump begins his rally by whining about losing his fraud case
it's a day that ends in y, which means Trump is attacking judges and ranting about Mar-a-Lago being worth a jillion dollars
we shouldn't use sight of how deranged this stuff is
Trump attacks E Jean Carroll, who he was found liable of assaulting and has repeatedly defamed: "I'm saying, who the hell is she? Who's the woman?"
Trump claims that as a result of his prosecutions, "no one will want to do business in the United States any longer."

Trump calls for Biden's impeachment. Mike Johnson is no doubt taking notes.
"He's an animal" -- Trump on Jack Smith, who he also calls "deranged"
"They want wind. But what happens if the wind doesn't blow?" -- Trump
Trump claims 200 miles of wall was "all done" when he left office, "but they couldn't put it up." Surely that would've taken just 2 more weeks.
i don't think it's possible to pack more shamelessness into a 10 second clip
Trump: "So I'll say, 'your president, Barack Hussein Obama,' and they'll say the next day, 'Donald Trump didn't know who the president of our country is.'"
"We're like a third world nation. Look at our airports. I mean, how bad are the airports?" -- Trump
a confused Trump confuses the 2020 election, when he running against Biden and lost Michigan, and 2016, when he won Michigan

"We have a new category of crime in our country. It's called 'migrant crime,' and it's taking over America ... let's call it 'Bigrant'" -- Trump wants to rerun 2016 by making migrant fear-mongering his signature issue again this year
"We're gonna have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country. We have no choice ... if you don't want to have illegal alien criminals crawling through your windows and going through your drawers, then vote against crooked Joe Biden" -- Trump
playing the hits
"What a lot of bullshit" -- Trump attacks Fani Willis
Trump: "I'm also going to indemnify all police officers and law enforcement officials throughout the US to protect them from being destroyed by the radical left ... once [criminals] see things happening that they never thought would happen to them, it'll all stop overnight"
"We have such great wealth in this country, we don't have to play around with Social Security and Medicare" -- Trump, who as president proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare
Trump's transphobia is one of his biggest applause lines of the night
"Mail-in voting is totally corrupt. Get that through your head" -- Trump gives a gift to Democrats
"We gotta watch Detroit. Boy oh boy oh boy. They had such horrible abuse." -- Trump in Michigan pushes debunked lies about the 2020 election
