Donald Trump sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, where his vintage persona appeared at a town hall event last night. The former president is the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, which will get a boost if he’s indicted a third time by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Smith sent a letter to Trump’s attorneys, where he said the billionaire real estate magnate is the subject of an investigation stemming from the January 6 riot.
During the town hall, Trump ripped into Smith for being a “nasty” and “deranged” prosecuting attorney with a history of failure. He also reminded folks that he sent the javelins to Ukraine while taking potshots at the Biden White House for their cocaine incident, a serious infraction where a person of interest failed to be identified. He also returned to his initial position about ballot harvesting, where the former president said Republicans had to get into the game to defeat Democrats. Some, like Congresswoman Young Kim (R-CA), have already done so, which is credited with saving them in the 2022 midterms. Trump seemed to backtrack on the method but endorsed it again here, though adding that phony ballots are a problem.

Still, the cocaine bit was hilarious.
