Well thank you very much I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today it was a very important decision we’re very well crafted and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together which our country needs and they worked long they worked

Hard and frankly they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about a 100 years from now and 200 years from now extremely important essentially you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way and it has nothing to do

With the fact that it’s the leading candidate whether it was the leading candidate candidate that was well down on the pole you take somebody out of a race the voters can take the person out of the race very quickly but a court shouldn’t be doing that and the Supreme

Court so that very well and I really do believe that will be a unifying because while Most states were thrilled to have me there were some that didn’t and they didn’t want that for political reasons they didn’t want that because of poll numbers because the poll numbers are

Very good we’re uh beating President Biden in almost every poll New York Times came out yesterday was a very big Poll for us so they U they didn’t like that and you can’t do that that you can’t do what they tried to do and hopefully Colorado as an example will

Unify I know there’s tremendous support they’ve they brought our support up very strong in Colorado because people thought people in Colorado thought that was a terrible thing that they did and while we’re on the subject and another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for a president and not

Immunity for me but for any president if a president doesn’t have full immunity you really don’t have a president nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make in many cases what would be the right decision or it could be the wrong decision it

Could be in some cases the wrong decision but they have to make decisions and they have to make them free of all Terror that could be reigned upon them when they leave office or even before they leave office and some decisions are very tough I can tell you that as a

President that some decisions make are very tough I took out Isis I took out some very big people from the standpoint of a different part of the world two of the leading terrorists probably the two lead terrorists ever that we’ve ever seen in this world and uh those are big decisions I

Don’t want to be prosecuted for it uh another president wouldn’t want to be prosecuted for it it had a tremendously positive imp it stopped everything cold sometimes you have to make they were tough decisions sometimes you have to make decisions like that when you make a decision you don’t want to have

Your opposing party or opponent or even somebody that just thinks you’re wrong bring a Criminal suit against you or any kind of a suit when you leave office I have that right now at a level that nobody’s ever seen before I have Rogue prosecutors and I have Rogue judges I

Have judges that are out of control and it’s a very unfair thing for me but I’m serving perhaps as a uh sample to others of what not be happening when decisions and in my case the economy was great we didn’t go into any wars we totally defeated

Isis we provided the largest tax cuts in history we provided the largest regulation Cuts in history but think of it no Wars we beat Isis 100% of the caliphate and there were no Wars we we did a job that was great but I maybe I would done that

The caliphate defeating them was very powerful it was going to take four years it took me four months but it was a very strong dictum that I gave I said get him defeat him end it we were fighting for 20 years against Isis and we did it very

Greatly I don’t want to be prosecuted in that case it worked out very well there will be some things that perhaps don’t work out so well but I don’t want to be prose prosecuted because I decided to do something that is very much for the good

Of the country and actually for the good of the world a president shouldn’t that on his mind have a free and clear mind when he makes very big decisions or it’s going to be nothing more than a ceremonial post you’ll be president it’ll be a wonderful thing you won’t do

Anything because you don’t want to be hit by your opponent or hit by somebody else because who wants to leave office and go through what I’ve gone through I’m being prosecuted by Biden my opponent because every one of these things whe Fanny Willis or brag these

Are local and state but they’re in total coordination with the White House you can’t do that it shouldn’t be done done I mean I think like that in the case of the DA’s office they put one of the top people maybe the second person in the Manhattan DA’s office to get Trump they

Had a Hillary Clinton lawyer leave the law firm very prestigious big Law Firm leave the law firm to go into the DA’s office to get Trump pomerance secutor worked for the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton goes in to prosecute Donald Trump at a local level in total coordination with the Department of Justice

Biden and then you have the fanny W or as she would say and I but fonny and she hired somebody knew the person long before this horrible prosecution took place and she went out and she paid him an unbelievable amount of money more money than he ever had dreamt possible

Much more money than other people that are that do that for a living he never did it at all had no experience in it at all and they had obviously a conflict we don’t have to go into to that but they were able to get a lot of money because

It was a high-profile person me I’m a very high profile person so they were able to pay him close to a million dollars when he was not equipped to do the job and she’s not equipped to do the job and that case should end immediately that so conflicted nobody who’s ever seen

Anything like it and then you have deranged Jack Smith who’s a trump hater and represents all the Trump haters and he’s going wild he’s just a wild man he’s been overturned unanimously by by the Supreme Court went after other people over the years he’s had great failure but he’s mean he’s nasty he’s

Unfair and the judges on these cases they’re all Trump haers other than we have maybe one or two that I think can be fair but you look at New York what’s happened I mean these people have tremendous hatred you can’t do this to a president and again I’m not talking

About me I’m talking about in the future a president has to be free a president has to be the president does a good job I did some people would say a great job but if the president does a good job a president should be free and clear and

Frankly celebrated for having done a good job not indicted four times and not after on a civil basis and not uh demanded to be to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines on something that was absolutely perfect where there were no victims where the financial statements were absolutely

Flawless where you have disclaimer clauses I mean nobody’s ever had a thing like this I wasn’t given a jury and I had a clubhouse judge just come up with this number on a perfect loan and very conservative financial statements but even at that if you look the disclaimer

Says don’t rely on the financial statements in any way shape or form go out and do your own work the bank in question had the most sophisticated in the world frankly very top one of the top law firms anywhere in the country and they can defend

Themselves what guys like uh brag and uh Leticia James and fonnie and durang jacksmith what they should be doing is fighting violent crime and that would lead me to the end I will say that President Biden number one stop weaponization fight you’re fight yourself don’t use prosecutors and

Judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election our country is much bigger than that the other thing I say to President Biden close the borders now this is not sustainable for our country it’s not sustainable for our

Cities our country is under siege this is a violent thing that you’ve done and many people are dying many many people are dying they die on the trip up they die going through the border and they die in our country but many of the people come are from prisons and jails

From many institutions and insane asylums many are terrorists you many many are terrorists and I believe the real number that we have right now is probably closer to 15 million people and by the time the term ends I believe the president’s term ends I believe you’ll be at close to 20 million

People that’s almost larger than any state in the Union our country it is not sustainable many of these people are tough many of these people are bad they come from some of the roughest countries in the world and some of the roughest prisons we have prisons in the Congo in

Africa we have people coming from all parts of the Middle East coming from Yemen and yet you were bombing Yemen you have to stop you have to close the border you have absolute authorization you don’t need Congress I had the safest Border in the history of our

Country and I didn’t use Congress for it and then I built hundreds of miles of wall and the reason I built it and how I built it was I considered it an invasion of our country and I took the money from the military and the Army Corps of

Engineers did it with me me and we did a great job and we had the safest border we’ve ever had and now we have the most unsafe border anywhere in the world at any time there’s never been a border like this at any country anywhere in the

World they would have fought with sticks and stones to stop the horrible situation that’s occurring our people can’t stand it and the people coming in really can’t stand it because they’re dying many are dying on the trip up and they’re dying in the country and also many of the people are criminals and

They’re doing tremendous harm I call it migrant crime it’s migrant crime it’s a new category of crime they’re hurting our country horribly and we’ve become a laughing stock all over the world so I say respectfully to President Biden you have the authorization right now I did

It I didn’t go to Congress and say do I have the right to close I fought Congress on it close the borders you can do it right now you have everything use my policies my policies were great everybody said it use my policies so just to finish I have great respect

For the Supreme Court and I want to just thank them for working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly and again this is a unifying Factor everybody now is together and they can go after me as a politician they can go after me with votes but they

Not going to go after me with that kind of lawsuit that takes somebody out of a race who’s leading in this case but even if the person wasn’t leading and I want to thank you all for being here do we have any questions yes Mr President uh

The poll number are massive for you going into Super Tuesday we found that a lot of people that were agnostic to politics in general see these legal cases against you they see what how life was back under a trump Administration do you think key to pull some of these

Independent voters into this next election seeing that legal cases are unfair they have no merit and also call numbers their life before Trump it’s such an interesting question because historically a thing like what I’ve been going through would have hurt a political party or a political candidate terrifically you wouldn’t even run you

Wouldn’t be able to run you’d get out and this has happened over many years many times in this case in the polls show that uh I’m much more popular than I was before weapon iation it’s been weaponized like it’s never been this is for third world countries this isn’t for

Us Biden ought to drop all of these things and frankly he may do better if he does because people would say wow that was very reasonable look they’re all the state the city and the federal they’re all coordinated Fanny Willis’s lover spent hours and hours at the White

House I guess with White House counsel and with doj plotting out this plan nobody talks about that they’re all uh they’re all coordinated with the White House it’s weaponization never been done in this country it’s been done in third world countries banana republics never in this country

So I really believe what they should do is really go all the way go out and stop all of this nonsense they’re nonsense cases and everybody sees you just look at Atlanta it’s such an embarrassment to Georgia what’s happening there but Jack Smith I don’t think is any better

Leticia James is terrible she campaigned on I will get Trump I will get Trump and then it goes before a trumping judge I mean the whole thing is a rig deal and the public understands it I’m lucky that I’m able to explain it to the public because if

You weren’t able to explain it the public wouldn’t know they’d believe what they see so I don’t want to win this way look I want to win based on my policies are better we’re going to cut taxes we’re going to get interest rates down you’re going to be able to buy homes

Again I mean you can’t buy a home today the interest rates are so high I want to win on safe borders I want to stop Waters I want to stop the war in Ukraine with Russia I want to stop what happening in Israel Israel would have never been attacked if I were president

Ukraine would have never ever been attacked If I Was President um you wouldn’t have had inflation inflation was caused by high energy prices I had low energy prices I would have kept them there very easily and it probably maybe caused the War with Ukraine because Putin became

Rich all of a sudden it went up so much and I I watched President Biden talking about Putin Putin became very rich because at $100 a barrel he’s got so much money to fight a war at $40 a barrel he doesn’t have the money to

Fight a war but he wouldn’t have done it anyway because I told him not to so I just uh want to thank all of you for being here I think it’s a very big day for America I think it’s a very big day for Liberty and I think it’s a

Just a great day for this country again I hope it’s unifying like I think but it is it’s a big step toward unification I hope that the justices because they’ll be working on some other cases but one in particular presidents have to be given total immunity they

Have to be allowed to do their job if they’re not allowed to do their job it’s not what the founders wanted but perhaps even more importantly it will be terrible for our country thank you all very are you going to support a 15 we
