Over the weekend Donald Trump travelled to Florence, South Carolina, to deliver the latest in a series of campaign-style speeches like he had said that he would be running for president again in 2024.
The best excerpts lines he said are as follows:
1. “It’s freezing out here. But we’re gonna warm it up. We’re gonna warm it up.”
2. “Just show the crowd. They never do it. They never do it.”
3. “We had a big victory. And we actually had an honest vote count.”
4. “He abolished our southern border.”
5. “Millions and millions of people, many of them from jails from other countries, are being dumped into our country.”
6. “There were more Covid deaths in 2021 than in all of 2020 and hospitalizations shattered every record even while Biden imposed illegal mandates all over the place.”
7. “You can take the five worst presidents in American history and put them together, and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done in just 13 months.”
8. “We have a president representing our country at the most important time in history, who is physically and mentally challenged.”
9. “Russia would not have dared to annex one inch of the territory if I was in the White House.”
10. “It was always ‘America first.’ Very simple, very simple. It’s all about America first. It was also about ‘make America great again,’ but it was about America first because that’s how you make it great.”
11. “I hate to do it, and I hate to tell you, but our nuclear weapons — I rebuilt them and we have brand new ones — and I hate to even mention it because the last thing we ever want to use is nuclear weapons.”
12. “And you never want to use it, but the way you don’t use it is by letting everyone know that we have it bigger and better, stronger than they do.”
13. “We got rid of ISIS 100%”
14. “We respected each other, but I said President [Xi], we’re eating chocolate cake. And it was beautiful chocolate cake.”
15. “I have to tell you, not that you go back to your beautiful room and say he never even told me that.”
16. “So he knew everything we were saying, so don’t talk behind their back.”
17. “But actually, my personality is what kept us out of war.”
18. “And Adam — Adam Kinzinger, you ever see him? He gets on television. He cries all the time. He starts crying.”
19. “We call him Crying Adam Kinzinger.”
20. “We also have to clean out the rot of our failed foreign policy establishment.”
Say “Deep State” without saying “Deep State.”
21. “We have to continue to drain the swamp. We did a lot of it, but the swamp was deep, deeper than anybody believed.”
22. “You had somebody to talk to [Vladimir Putin] with me. Nobody was ever tougher on Russia than me.”
23. “We break Elvis’ records. We were in Texas, two weeks ago. … They turned away 50,000 people.”
24. “So we made a lot of really great stars sitting there.”
25. “Now Biden is crawling around the globe on his knees begging and pleading for mercy from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela.”
26. “The woman that thought of the Green New Deal didn’t even go to a college to study.”
27. “The world is going to be destroyed because the oceans are going to rise 1/100 of an inch within the next 300 years. It’s going to kill everybody. It’s going to create a more oceanfront property. That’s what it’s going to do.”
28. “The real threat we have is the nuclear threat. That’s going to be worse than global warming if we ever let that ever happen.”
29. “He must think we are the stupidest people
30. “His oil is no good. It’s very heavy. You got to put it through the wringer to get oil out of it.”

41. “33 endorsements — we won 33 races.”
42. “The fate of any nation ultimately depends upon the willingness of its citizens to lay down — and they must do this — lay down their very lives to defend their country. If we allow the Marxists and communists and socialists to teach our children to hate America, there will be no one left to defend our flag or to protect our great country or its freedom.”
43. “It was fraudulent and loaded up with irregularities. In other words, it was rigged.”

47. “We are going to take back the Senate and we are going to take back America. And in 2024, we are going to take back that beautiful, beautiful White House. I wonder who will do that. I wonder, I wonder.”
