Trump faces probation interview before sentencing after joking about killing supporters at Vegas rally: live updates

Trump was introduced in Sunset Park by attention-seeking Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and state Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald, both of whom struck an ominous, cultish note in praising of the dear leader in falsely Christian terms.

Before we continue, the former president was also busy yesterday inciting his Vegas crowd to chant “bulls***” in response to Biden's efforts to address border security.

Trump was protesting an executive order signed last Tuesday by the president to combat illegal border crossings.

The order allows Biden to freeze the U.S. asylum system if illegal border crossings occur at an average rate of more than 2,500 per day.

“Last week, Crooked Joe signed an executive order against invasion, child trafficking, women trafficking, human trafficking and drug traffickers. This is a pro-drug trafficker bill,” Trump said absurdly, also incorrectly calling it a bill at the end.

Much like his recent attempt to retroactively reverse his “Lock her up!” » rhetoric about Hillary Clinton in 2016, Trump is now attempting to rewrite history based on his appalling comments about the fallen US military (especially since they were revived as such an effective line of attack by Biden before the commemorations of D-Day last week), denying it. in the heat of Vegas and again on Truth Social.

Next up in Nevada, where Trump yesterday held his first proper campaign rally since becoming a convicted felon, asking his supporters to brave the scorching 103F heat outside, for which they were rewarded with jokes about their deaths and complaints that it was the candidate himself who was really suffering.

Elsewhere in the Republican's speech, he called the January 6 insurrectionists “warriors” (an improvement over “hostages”), challenged Joe Biden to submit to a drug test before the debate, insulted Justice Department Special Advisor Jack Smith and made a bizarre speech. rant about sharks and batteries.

He also became angry at the technology he had been set up with and refused to pay his subcontractors.

Plus, it wouldn't be a Trump rally with a debate over crowd size.

We'll return to Trump's latest campaign rally at Sunset Park in Las Vegas soon, but, first, here's a look at what's on his itinerary today.

The Republican presidential candidate is expected to be interviewed Monday by the probation department at Manhattan Criminal Court for use in the pre-sentencing recommendation and judge's report.

Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying documents to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels late last month, you may recall.

The former president's lawyer, Todd Blanche, will be present for the interview, according to NBC News. The prosecution did not object to Blanche's inclusion in the appeal, although it is somewhat unusual, and so Judge Juan Mercan allowed her access.

The president, who took advantage of his visit to salute American alliances in Europe and reiterate his support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, laid a wreath in the chapel of the American cemetery of Aisne-Marne in Belleau, in France, near Paris.

“These soldiers were heroes, just like every American who served this nation,” Biden said during the visit, adding: “The best way to avoid these kinds of battles in the future is to stand strong with our allies. »

The ex-president spoke Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas and denounced an executive order signed by Biden last week to combat illegal border crossings. The order, signed by the president on Tuesday, allows him to freeze the US asylum system if illegal border crossings occur at an average rate of more than 2,500 per day.

“Last week, Crooked Joe signed an executive order pro-invasion, child trafficking, women trafficking, human trafficking and drug traffickers. This is a pro-drug dealer bill,” Trump said of the order, which is not a bill.

“What he signed means nothing. In fact, it makes things easier, in my opinion, it opens the border even more,” the ex-president continued.

He then called immigrants criminals and mentally ill, with the rest being called lazy and “unproductive” – and explicitly not part of his vision of “making America great again.”

Donald Trump's summer campaign stops include locations in the middle of the desert, leaving supporters standing for hours in the unforgiving heat of the Southwest. But that hasn't stopped his fans from lining up for him, even if it sends them to the hospital.

Nearly a dozen MAGA followers in Arizona had to be hospitalized earlier this month while waiting to attend a Trump campaign event in Phoenix.

On Sunday, June 9, the former president will once again venture into the desert, this time bringing his tour of vengeance and resentment to Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Mojave Desert.

At a rally Sunday in Las Vegas, former President called the alleged comments are “disinformation” reported by “fake news”.

“Think about it from a practical point of view, I'm standing there with generals and soldiers, in a cemetery and I look at them, I say, 'These people are idiots and losers,'” he said. It starts.

“Now think about it,” he continued, “unless you're a psychopath or a lunatic or a very stupid person – who would say that anyway – but who would say that to military people?

In fact, no one is claiming that Trump committed these insults in a French cemetery.

During a recent interview on Fox News, a host asked Senator Tom Cotton about Donald Trump's stance on the Russia-Ukraine war, specifically the former president's feeling that Ukraine should allow Russia to take part of the lands it has occupied to bring the fighting to an end. END.

“Isn’t this giving Putin what he wants,” asked Fox News host Shannon Bream.

Cotton insisted that the president never presented those views as official policy positions, then argued that Trump and Ukrainian President Voldomyr Zelensky had a “strong relationship.”

“Trump said any reports of such plans were not authorized. Trump had a strong relationship with Zelensky,” he said.

The former president was first impeached because he threatened to cut off aid to Ukraine and revoke Zelensky's invitation to the White House if the Ukrainian leader did not open a formal investigation into Joe Biden before the 2016 election.
