In a recent press conference, former President Donald Trump expressed confidence in his campaign's prospects for the upcoming elections, citing a significant increase in voter support compared to previous years. He claimed to have garnered the most votes in history for a sitting president and emphasized a strong enthusiasm among his supporters, particularly in Wisconsin, where he plans to hold a rally.
Addressing concerns about his past legal challenges regarding absentee ballots in Dane and Milwaukee counties, Trump suggested that voters in those areas generally agree with his stance and expressed optimism about winning Wisconsin. He highlighted the size of recent crowds at his events as indicative of his campaign's momentum.
On the topic of the Supreme Court, Trump outlined his criteria for potential nominees, emphasizing the importance of honesty, integrity, and intelligence. He expressed respect for the current justices and noted that he believes they have made brave decisions recently. However, he refrained from specifying particular issues he would like the court to address.
When questioned about rising crude oil prices following recent geopolitical tensions, Trump acknowledged the unpredictability of China's actions under President Xi Jinping, suggesting that the situation could evolve in the coming years. He characterized Xi as a \"fierce\" leader but noted his own positive relationship with him during his presidency.
Trump also criticized the Department of Justice, claiming it has been weaponized against political opponents, and called for fairness in media coverage of his administration. He expressed concern over the nation's current state, citing a significant deficit and issues at the southern border, which he described as the worst in history. He pledged to restore order and legality to immigration policies if reelected.
As he prepares for a major rally in Butler, Trump remains focused on rallying support and addressing what he perceives as critical issues facing the nation.
