Republican candidate arrived late to Nashville speech looking flushed and exhausted to rant about Democrats, the Department of Education, the Capitol riot and the ‘silencing’ of religious groups

Donald Trump appeared on stage more than 90 minutes late in Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday night, where he delivered a speech that was as wild as it was incoherent.

The Republican presidential front-runner appeared flushed and visibly exhausted as he arrived to address the National Religious Broadcasters’ (NRB) International Christian Media Convention, tripping over simple words like “evangelical” during an address littered with verbal miscues and false claims.

At various points, Mr Trump declared that he had made “Israel” the capital of Israel during his presidency (presumably confusing the decision to move its US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem), said that he planned to close down the Department of Education and praised the Capitol rioters, whom he again characterised as political prisoners and referred to as “the J6 hostages”, for their “tremendous spirit”.

      Not to mention, the Republican party started a case against Hunter Biden based on a claim from a person who just admitted to not only having lied, but having spread lies given to him by Russian intel agents, and there’s evidence that multiple Republicans went ahead with it despite knowing it was Russian lies

      It is still an allegation until it goes to court and he is convicted. That probably should have happened but “alleged” is the right word regardless of how guilty the fucker is.

      Justice takes time. He’s probably still working on making an air tight case so Drumpf won’t wiggle out of it. /s
