Why does Ben Meiselas say Trump’s campaign is built on grievance and victimhood?
And I'm a victim, I will tell you. I'm a victim, think of it.
That kind of sums it all up there, doesn't it? Donald Trump's entire campaign is being run on grievance and victimhood, but those are the hallmarks of a cult. And the cult leader says, we're all victims. I'm a victim. They're coming to get me. Please protect me. Now, Donald Trump's most recent statements about what went down at the Florida Golf Club in this alleged assassination attempt there, where the individual has been charged, who, by the way, was a 2016 Trump supporter and Trump voter. Donald Trump's just again lying about this, turning a very serious matter into something very Trumpian. Not sure if you saw, but in the recent speech he gave in Walker, Michigan, Donald Trump says that the reason for these assassination attempts is because of his policy on tariffs and what he wants to do in terms of tariffing other nations.
He doesn't even know what tariffs are, but listen to what he says here. Play this clip.
had in this state, your car industry will be as big relatively as it was 60 years ago when you were like dominant. It's not dominant anymore. This is why people in countries are all after Trump. This is why, you know, the only one that has shots fired at them, that throbbing feeling, right? The only one are consequential presidents. When I do these things, I've got a lot of enemies out there.
And again, the first incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, the individual was a MAGA guy, white male Republican MAGA guy. That was the first attempt. The second was a 2016 Trump supporter. And Donald Trump's saying, oh, this is just because they're so scared of my tariff policy. Your tariff policy is the stupidest thing ever. You don't know what tariffs are. It's an import on you. It's a tax on imports of United States companies. But this is how Donald Trump has been handling this all along. When Donald Trump did not like the testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray about the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, what does Donald Trump do? Mind you, this is a Republican FBI director who Donald Trump appointed.
Well, Donald Trump reposts Tucker Carlson and says Christopher Wray, who's the FBI director, is a liar and a criminal. And I hope he's reading this. And then Donald Trump posts memes of Christopher Wray to intimidate, threaten, and harass the FBI director who Trump appointed that says, this is what Trump posted. What did you know and when did you know about it? Retruth if you want to know who ordered the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. There is the kind of perpetual victimhood that goes on. So Donald Trump has his top surrogate, Alina Haba, who says that when Donald Trump's out there playing golf every day, he's risking his life for you, the people. That's what's happening. He's risking his life playing golf.
Here, play this clip.
He is completely unrelenting. He will go out there today and do the same thing he has always done because he is so determined to save this country, even when it means risking his life not once but twice. And that's all that we know of. So you know him, Martha. That's who the man is. He is just the strongest, fiercest fighter that America could ask for.
What false claim does Trump make about his tariff policy causing the shooting attempts?
It
should be noted that both the Secret Service and FBI assessment of Donald Trump that they provided to him was that he shouldn't be playing golf in courses that have a direct line of view to public highways and roads. He could just play golf other places. And Donald Trump says, no, I'm just going to play golf wherever I want to play golf here. And, you know, then Donald Trump's... wife, Melania, she's trying to sell her book, right? So she's now pushing that the FBI must somehow be involved in this. And again, she's complicit with Donald Trump in everything. And so she's out there saying that this was an interview that she just gave. And she said, well, because no one's talking about the assassination attempts anymore, there's something suspicious going on here.
There's something suspicious here. Play this clip.
We were told this week, and we were told that authorities have already known this for a while, that there was an Iranian plot to kill your husband.
