Former US President Donald Trump participated in the CNN Town Hall, an event in which he answered questions from Republican voters in New Hampshire and from the network’s moderator, Katlian Collins. Trump put on a show: he made jokes, denounced the 2020 election result once more and rejected the accusation once morest him of sexual abuse. “It’s a false story,” he said regarding the complaint that a journalist made him and for which he ended up convicted by a jury in New York. “It was a rigged election,” he noted of the result that he consecrated Joe Biden and treated Collins with disdain when she asked awkward questions.

“We did fantastic, we got over 12 million more votes than we did in 2016, we did more than any president ever did for the United States. Unless you are a very stupid person, We all know that the election once morest Biden was rigged. It was a shame. Everybody noticed”, he explained.

“If you look at the voting, they found millions of votes in government chambers where they were rigging the ballot boxes. It is very sad for the world. This country has gone to hell, there are no borders. What happened to inflation? We ended up being a third world country, ”she later reproached.

He still made it clear that his campaign for the 2024 elections “will not focus on electoral fraud unless they force it to do so” and ventured a result: “I am more than sure that we will win. It is almost a certainty. As long as there are fair elections, we will win.”.

Also consulted regarding the incidents at the Capitol, which took place in 2020, left four dead, 14 injured and 192 detained and were carried out by supporters of the also magnate, Trump said: “I didn’t encourage anyone to do anything. I don’t like violence. I just gave a speech before the fact in which I talked regarding voter fraud. I even manifested myself on Twitter and expressed myself once morest violent actions that might occur.”

Then, he shared a few words regarding the verdict once morest him in the E. Jean Carroll case. He clarified in principle that the decision made by the New York court during the civil trial did not affect his numbers for the presidential race. “The results of the polls even went up,” he said. “I must be the only person in history who is favored by the polls despite the accusations”, he celebrated. She also expressed her opinion that she did not believe that “women vote less for me.”

When talking regarding the intimate encounter that the journalist claimed to have had with the former president in the dressing room of a clothing store, she said: “I don’t know that woman. She says that we met at an event 22 or 23 years ago. I was already famous by then. Can you imagine that she would put me in a dressing room with a woman? Furthermore, the court made it clear that there was no violation. This is nothing more than a false story made up by a judge”.

Moments later, Trump referred to the current economic situation in the United States and blamed Biden for the rise in inflation, which, although it was 4.9% last April, caused discomfort among citizens and among businessmen: “These idiots put an end to a streak of economic growth that we had started. With them inflation returned, the price of electricity rose and also of certain items of daily consumption.

Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, he predicted that “If I am president, that war will be resolved in 24 hours.” “They both have weaknesses and they both have strengths and within 24 hours that war will be resolved. It will be over, it will be completely over, ”he detailed.

He also referred to the figure of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he did not describe as a “war criminal” and considered that he “made a mistake by invading Ukraine.” “He would never have entered Ukraine if I were in power. And if they continue to treat him as a war criminal, it will be increasingly difficult to reach an agreement ”, he asserted.

Throughout the interview, despite evidence to the contrary, he claimed time and once more that the 2020 presidential election was rigged. He dodged questions regarding his responsibility in taking over the Capitol and dismissed the moderator of CNN when you didn’t like his proposals.

But the strongest thing is that he completely ignored the sentence once morest him for sexual abuse.

Through a post on Twitter, the current president of the United States went once morest the statements of the businessman, who narrated a somewhat different scene -and even positive- from what happened on January 6, 2021. “The rioters on January 6 were not good people. End of story”sentenced.
