Trump revisited his infamous 2016 appeal to Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails, arguing that he was just joking and criticizing the press for taking his comments seriously
President Donald Trump on Saturday delivered a scorched-earth speech to conservative activists, calling the Russia investigation "bullshit," adopting a southern accent to mock his former attorney general, and asserting that some members of Congress "hate our country."
“You know I’m totally off script right now,” Trump said at the beginning of his speech. As his meandering speech continued, it become clear that his assessment was an understatement. He even revisited his campaign kickoff speech from June 2015. "From day one, I mentioned the word rape. If you look at that first speech, that was very innocent compared to what’s happening," Trump said.
Later, the president sounded off on the 2020 election, expressing regret that he attacked Sen. Elizabeth Warren so early. "I should have saved the Pocahontas thing for another year," he said. "I’ve destroyed her political career and I won’t get a chance to run against her and I would have loved that.”
