Former President Donald Trump made his case for the ongoing investigations against him and his business being political persecution and “election interference” with a scathing take on the “far-left crazies.”
“…they got 5000 prosecutors after my a**!”

Ten days after his arraignment in a Manhattan court, the president stood before a gathering for the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) Leadership Forum and unloaded on the opposition over the lengths they’ve taken, by his assessment, to ensure the Republican 2024 presidential candidate is anybody but him.
“And I am the one that they don’t want to run against. That’s why they’re coming after me like this. If they wanted me to run, they’d say, ‘Oh, he is the most perfect human being we’ve ever seen,'” Trump quipped.
“Instead, they put these monsters in there. They put these radical left, crazy people, and — no, if they wanna — they’re the party of disinformation, remember that,” he cautioned. “What they say, you can usually go the opposite. They say, ‘Oh yeah, we want to run against Trump.'”
“In the meantime,” the president exclaimed, “they got 5,000 prosecutors after my a**!”
Utilizing his mock voice, Trump parodied Democratic sentiments, “‘We want to run against him so bad, we’re gonna run against him. That’s the guy we want, Trump. By the way, please take him out of politics. Please get him out as fast as you can.’ No, they’re the party of disinformation or misinformation. Nobody knows the difference, but they’re pretty close.”
“It’s no wonder that the far-left crazies are engaging in election interference on an historic scale,” he concluded of the indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the grand jury investigation in Georgia seeking to find Trump guilty of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result as well as the federal review of the president housing certain classified documents at his Palm Beach, Florida home after leaving office.
To support his case, he had not only shared polling numbers that boasted of his lead over likely Republican challengers like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, he also presented polls that showed him with a firm advantage over President Joe Biden.
“We’re leading by a lot in Iowa. The farmers can never vote for me. I got China to pay the farmers $28 billion for the damage that they caused. I said, you got to pay,” Trump said for example, before continuing, “And so if you see some of these, I just thought you’d put ’em up — remember the old days I used to always announce polls? Only if they were good. I wouldn’t announce them if they weren’t good. If I had a bad one, I wouldn’t. But when they were good, I used to, I used to drive the opposition crazy.”
“But we’re leading Biden now by a lot, seven points, nine points and a ten point, but seven points in the last Rasmussen poll,” he added.
The day before Trump’s NRA-ILA speech, while he was providing seven hours of testimony about a $250 million civil fraud case, he had further eviscerated the witch hunts against him with a video release that contended in part, “There is no more dire threat to the American way of life than the corruption and weaponization of our justice system.”

“If we can not restore the fair and impartial rule of law, we will not be a free country. As president, it will be my personal mission to restore the scales of justice in America,” he went on. “We want fairness and equality under the law.”
Promising to “overhaul the federal Department of Justice and FBI” should he be elected, Trump concluded, “I will do whatever it takes to save our legal system, among the greatest achievements of Western Civilization, from the Marxist barbarians who seek to destroy it.”
