President Donald J. Trump held a rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania on Friday. It’s hard to believe he’ll be in a New York courtroom today for the “hush money” trial. Jury selection starts today.  But at the rally, he addressed a number of issues, including:

Trump spoke as Israel was fighting off a retaliatory drone attack from Iran that threatened to tip into a regional war in the Middle East. After a short mention of the attack, which he claimed wouldn’t have happened if he were president, Trump turned to an extended tirade against his own legal troubles.

He went after Judge Juan M. Merchan, whom he called “corrupt,” and District Attorney Alvin Bragg, declaring himself a victim of Democrats bent on blocking his return to the White House.

And he talked about the election:   “We’re going to win in the biggest landslide in history, because we’re the ones who are fighting to save our democracy and Joe Biden is a demented tyrant,” Trump said.
