According to failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, it’s a good thing he was in office when Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin, because the city was saved and Rittenhouse was acquitted thanks to the brilliant actions of the Donald.
Speaking with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump had this to say about the not guilty verdict handed down by a jury on Friday:
“I think that it was a great decision. I was sad it had to go this far. Somebody should have ended it earlier, and frankly the case should have never been brought. It was prosecutorial misconduct. … I was very happy to see (the not guilty verdict). A lot of people were very happy to see it — most people.”
Trump went on to accuse CNN and MSNBC of making the case about race:
“They were really trying to spew hatred. They’d love to see riots all over the place”
Like the riots that took place at the Capitol on January 6th when Trump urged his supporters to march on the building and make sure the electoral votes weren’t counted?
The ex-president also patted himself on the back for saving the city of Kenosha:
“We saved Kenosha very early. It was a horrible couple of nights. They got individual stores. The place didn’t burn down to the ground because we sent in a lot of good people.”
As usual, Trump wants us to believe that only he is capable of handling a crisis. Yet he failed to adequately control the COVID pandemic, repeatedly lied about the dangers of the virus, and even suggested it could be treated by injecting disinfectant or using bright light inside the body.
Every time he opens his big mouth, Donald Trump reminds us why voters overwhelmingly rejected him.
