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 claims "bullshit" is "catching on a little bit, but in a much more positive way than 'deplorable'"
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"
After saying "Hispanican," Trump pivots to complaining about his teleprompters
"It would be suicide before Biden, right?"
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
Trump claims "The Snake," which is a poem he has read dozens of times at rallies, is "a song written a long time ago."
"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
Trump complains at length about credible reports (that had nothing to do with Biden) that he called dead soldiers "suckers" and "losers"
Trump in Vegas now claims the "first thing" he'll do in office is "not charge taxes on tips, people making tips"
"The woke stuff will be gone within a period of 24 hours" -- Trump
"I don't pay contractors who do a shitty job" -- Trump vows to not pay the workers in charge of the teleprompters for his Vegas rally

"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
