Trump Speaks After Civil Fraud Bond Reduced, Hush Money Case Trial Date Set (Full Press Conference)

Okay, thank you very much. It's a great honor to be with you at 40 Wall Street We appreciate you have a lot of press outside and I think we're going to start before a lot of them come in Which frankly always makes me happy? so a Lot of things happen today. This is all about election interference. This is all Biden run things meaning Biden and his thugs because I don't know if he knows he's alive and And it's a shame it's a shame what's happening to our country this is election interference They are doing things that have never been done in this country before We've never had anything like it certainly not at this level But we really had nothing like it that I've been able to find it does happen a lot in third world countries banana republics if you look at What we just left you had a you have a case which they're dying to get this thing started The judge cannot go faster he wants to get it started so badly and There's tremendous corruption. You have Pomerantz Mark Pomerantz He was Hillary Clinton's lawyer Democrat National Committee's lawyer He worked in Paul Weiss. He walked in and he took over the the District Attorney's Office. Nobody's ever seen anything like that to prosecute Trump and Then they wouldn't do what he wanted to do and they he goes out and he writes a book long before any decisions were made he writes a book about it and the book gets published and everybody's reading his book and The judge said there's nothing wrong with that And if you look at Bragg Bragg had a fit over that Bragg said this trial is now dead We can't do the trial. Well, that was one of the problems that and the judge should have allowed that to happen and You had other instances like Colangelo Colangelo is a radical left from the DOJ who was put into the state working with Letitia James and then was put into the District Attorney's Office to run the trial against Trump and that was done by Biden and his thugs also because they can't win an election because of the borders because of energy prices because of Inflation because of Afghanistan the worst and most embarrassing day in the history of our country he can't win because of Russia Russia Russia because of all the problems because of Ukraine being attacked by Russia and he can't win because of the October 7th attack of Israel Which he should have never allowed to happen would have never happened if I were president Ukraine would have never been attacked if I was president and you wouldn't have inflation if I was president We didn't have inflation so all of these things so what they do is they do election interference, which is Court cases and let's try and tie him up and let's take as much of his money as possible I respect the appellate division for substantially reducing that ridiculous amount of money that was put on by a corrupt judge Named in Gorin you ought to be looked at seriously looked at especially what he did with valuations. He's the one he's a fraudulent Evaluator where he values Mar-a-Lago at 18 million dollars and people say it's worth 50 to 100 times that much the biggest experts in the business So he ought to be looked at and James ought to be looked at because she tried to get him she's like the puppet master of the judge and You know our state this state is losing tremendous prestige It's losing its companies. It's losing its people. They're fleeing and violent crime is flourishing And we can't have that you can't have that no city should have that and it's happening in other cities But not with the lawfare the lawfare that they're doing is incredible so they could have done this in the case of the trial that we just left one of the many that are going every Single one of them is run by Biden and his thugs The only way they think they can get elected and I think so far it's backfiring because the people of this country Understand it it's backfiring But they're being run and they're running all of these different cases so ridiculous the cases every one of them is ridiculous You take a look at any one of them and you say any one of them. It wouldn't make any difference This is all weaponization of DOJ and FBI. They raided my house in Violation of a thing called the Fourth Amendment not allowed to do that. They raided my house in Florida Mar-a-Lago No notice no nothing. They raided it. I can't believe it. Nobody can believe it And we'll see how that all works out in the end But it's illegal what they're doing. It's criminal what they're doing and it's never been done before in this country You can't have an election in the middle of a political season we just had Super Tuesday and we had a Tuesday after Tuesday already and We had Louisiana the other day a couple of days ago and we won in a record number the highest number ever recorded And but we're in the middle of an election right now and we're fighting crooked Joe Biden Who's the worst president in the history of our country by far? Who's let this country go to hell the borders millions and millions of people coming in from prisons from? Mental institutions that terrorists many people coming in from prisons and mental institutions Think of it and terrorists are coming into our country and this guy's just letting him come in by the millions I think we have 15 million people already people don't say that I say it and I'll bet I'm right, too so We're going through this weaponization of our government to try and knock out somebody's political opponent and so far based on the polls It's not working at all. The people understand it We have a man who just ruled it like the trial to start in 21 days or something And I don't know how you can have a trial That's going on right in the middle of an election. Not fair. Not fair. It's not fair at all. He knows that Democrat judge he wants to do that because they're all trying to damage Trump as much as possible It's having the reverse effect, but maybe someday it won't I don't know But it's having the reverse effect. It's a terrible terrible precedent a terrible thing to do They could have started this when I left office. You could have gone back three years more than that When I left office all of these things could have been started so we wouldn't be quibbling over Starting this week or that week or two days or three days. It wouldn't matter this thing would have been over two years ago They could have started they should have never started because there's no case if you read Andy McCarthy's piece If you read Jonathan Turley's piece if you read legal scholars all over the world They say this DA case is a hoax and it's something that shouldn't it's not even a crime They said there's no crime and there is no crime So I just say it's a sad day for this country when you have something like this and remember the words should have been started Three years ago if they were going to start it at all and then you wouldn't be quibbling over what week it's going to days Equipping over days and hours They wouldn't be quibbling at all. They never started it and you know why they didn't start it because they didn't know I'd be running And they didn't know how well I'd do And if I were not running or if I were doing poorly like everyone else has done because they're all gone They're all knocked out except for crooked Joe Biden If I were doing poorly this wouldn't be happening as none of these trials would have been happening if I wasn't running They wouldn't be happening So it's a sad day in our country in many respects, but the good day is that the appellate division was fair It's a lot of money still but the judge is corrupt in my opinion. He's the most overturned judge He's been overturned five times in this case alone He ruled against me before he even knew anything about the case. He ruled against me the whole case was all about damages and there were no damages and Perhaps you'll get him to tell you about What took place in terms of a settlement negotiation because those weren't the numbers he was discussing those weren't the numbers It's a disgrace what's happening in our country and We have to get our country back and we're going to get our country back. That's what's going to happen November 5th, I believe will be the most important day in the history of our country We'll get these people out of there and we'll seal up the borders and we'll as I say drill baby drill We'll be drilling. We'll get energy costs down. We'll get rid of the ridiculous electric car mandate So nobody's ever heard of anything so foolish and so stupid And we'll bring crime back to law and order We're gonna get those words law and order back because our cities are a disaster Greatly respect the decision of the appellate division and we will abide by that We'll put up cash or bond very quickly securities cash or bond. Whatever it is. We'll put it up very quickly and We'll win the case Todd, maybe I'll have Todd say a couple of words and then I'll have Any questions or anything you want to ask? Okay, Todd, wherever you may be, please. Thank you President Trump So as we said in court today We very much believe that starting this trial in April or even starting this trial at any point before Before the election is completely unfair to President Trump It's completely unfair to the American people who are evaluating who they want to be the next president and we're going to continue We are going to continue to fight We're going to continue to do everything that we can to defend President Trump in that courtroom And and like we said today, we believe that we have a tremendous amount of information now in our hands to help us Do that and and in any event we we certainly feel as if the the date that the judge Rashaan held today April 15th is not a date. We should go to trial and we're going to continue to fight And if you read the Andy McCarthy article or Jonathan Turley or many of the legal legals, I think almost every single one of them. That's not even a crime We're being tried for something. That's not even a crime. They say it most it's a misdemeanor, but there's no misdemeanor either so We have violent criminals that are murdering people Killing people we have drug dealers all over the place and they go free and they could do whatever they want But they go after the Trump where there's not even a crime. And did you see the number of people were there? You had Colangelo and behind him and I remember this Colangelo was a DOJ guy. He's a Biden DOJ guy Why is he in the Manhattan DA's office trying the case? That in itself is a conflict. He's in the Manhattan DA's office trying the case. I mean, that's called a conflict And then remember what I told you also Mark Pomerantz When Bragg heard about it, he went openly hostile He said that's one of the worst things I've heard and you all covered that then all of a sudden time goes by You know the great healer is time time goes by and All of a sudden they forget that But that's a terrible thing Colangelo and Pomerantz terrible thing and the judge didn't want to rule on that He said everything was fine that what they did was fine I don't think it's fine when they take a Hillary Clinton lawyer and put him in to prosecute me I don't think that's fine. I think it's very bad and he does it on the house He does it without fee. I don't want any fee. I don't want any fee Our country has gone down a long way. Cliff, would you like to say something? Just simply we're gratified by the Appellate Division's decision today Which shows that there still is a rule of law in New York and that the Appellate Division is following it. Thank you, sir. Sir, do you think there should be an acquittal in this trial? I shouldn't have a trial. This is not a trial. This is not a an act of criminality I don't know if we're having one. We're going to be appealing right now. I can tell you that We did nothing wrong. Just like I did nothing wrong in the other case My statements my financial statements were conservative. They were low not high I mean he valued Mar-a-Lago at a tiny fraction of what it is. He's the fraud He created a fraud in order to help his narrative and her narrative because he does whatever she wants and The judge is really what he's done is fraudulent. He made Mar-a-Lago. You know it very well Maggie He made Mar-a-Lago into 18 million dollars. I had many offers. They said I'll give you 19 Okay, you could take the half of the living room is worth more than that So it's worth anywhere from 50 to 100 times that amount and he stays with it So he's either whacked out or dishonest one or the other or both probably both But he's a disgrace to the system, and I think that New York State was helped a lot today by the decision I'll give you an example of Truth Social is doing very well. It's hot as a pistol and doing great and It's going public and the New York Stock Exchange wants to have us badly And I told him we can't do the New York Stock Exchange you treated too badly in New York We don't want to do the New York Stock Exchange and the people at the Stock Exchange are very very Upset about it the top person is is Mortified can't believe it He said I'm losing business because of New York because people don't want to be in New York And they don't want to go into the New York Stock Exchange, so you can ask them about it But you know how can you do that? I'd love to go in the New York Stock Exchange who was always you know would be a big thing to go in the New York Stock Exchange That'd be nice But people aren't going in the New York Stock Exchange now because of what's happening in New York because they don't want to be attacked By a thug like this horrible Attorney General that we have in New York the worst in the whole country So we'll decide about truth social and what we do with it, but there's just an example of how this is hurting New York in New York State Well as they say I have a lot of cash You know I do because you looked at my statements I mean you've been examining my statements for a long time, and I have much more than that in cash But I would also like to be able to use some of my cash to get elected They don't want me to use my cash To get elected they don't want that they don't want me taking cash out to use it for the campaign Then they looked at it and this judge looked at it And he's part of the whole deal and why he's such a disgrace for this city again the most overturned judge There's never been that we can find a case where judges been overturned now five times. It was four times now It's five times been overturned, but I have a lot of cash and a great company I mean to think they want to go after a company. This is a great company a company. That's doing very well I've got very low debt on buildings like this building. I have very low debt on this building most buildings I have no debt most clubs. I have no debt it took look at my greatest assets I have no debt I didn't even include like brand value and the brand values I became president because of the brand let's say But the brand value is it's one of the most valuable brand values So I think it's I wouldn't swap it for any other brand in the world Trump. I don't even put anything down for it I had very conservative statements And the way they made him look bad is by valuing Mar-a-Lago at 18 million dollars instead of what the real value is which was At least 50 to maybe a hundred times More think of that. This is the fraud. They're creating a fraud and they're hurting the state so badly and then I can't go into the New York Stock Exchange because I can't do business because I don't want to do not because I Can't because I don't want to do business in New York And the people at the New York Stock Exchange, I can tell you right now and they're very fine people. They're not happy. Yeah You Well, first of all, it's none of your business, I mean frankly, but I might I might do that I have the option, but if I have to spend 500 million on a bond, I wouldn't have that option I'd have to start selling things. I don't have to sell anything Because I'm a it's a phenomenal company. Look I built a phenomenal company someday. They'll actually report that I built a phenomenal Company that's very low leverage Unbelievably low leverage with a lot of cash a lot of everything else Why should I let a crooked judge make a decision to give four hundred and fifty? Million dollars that allows me to spend very little money on my campaign if I so choose I'll be spending money on my campaign I might spend a lot of money on my campaign but I should have that option a crooked judge shouldn't say we're gonna have you post a bond and take All of that money that I could be spending on a campaign or other things if I want to do other things So we were gratified by the professionalism of the opinion today. I thought it was a very I think it's a very important opinion for New York, but The only thing that's going to really solve that problem is when I win because you're gonna have to win Because no company is going to be coming to New York if I don't win that case that case is a scam It's a sham and it's a hoax No, I don't I don't do that I think you'd be allowed to possibly I don't know I mean if you go borrow from a big bank Many of the banks are outside of this as you know, the biggest banks frankly are outside of our country So you could do that, but I don't need to borrow money. I have a lot of money I have a lot of I built a great company But I don't want to have a crooked judge named in Gorin and a crooked horrible the worst the worst I Would say without question Attorney General in the country the most obnoxious and the worst Attorney General in the whole country And she did it for political reasons go back and take a look at her ads We will stop Trump, but she knows nothing about me. I never heard of her She was advertising and she took ads in saying we will stop Trump. We will stop him stopping vicious I said boy, that's a bad one Then I look she got elected, but then she tried to do it with the governor and it didn't work She went after the current governor Who's much more talented than she is she went after the current governor? She was very nasty and she polled at about 3% She pulled it nothing and after six weeks or seven weeks, she pulled out of the race. She ran for governor You know on what? She was doing to me. She thought that would work. It didn't work. I Just think that it's very important that you know This is a time when businesses have a choice to go to a lot of places including other countries They don't have to stay in our country But they can certainly go also to a lot of other states a lot of people going to Texas, Florida Tennessee, North Carolina a lot of South Carolina and you have a lot of competition You shouldn't be persecuting people that have done a great job. I paid 300 million dollars approximately over the years in taxes here 300 million That's a lot of money and you're gonna lose those people that pay all that money And you're not even gonna have a state anymore. They just won't be able to do The which which hearing I don't know that you're gonna have the trial I don't know how you can have a trial like this in the middle of an election a presidential election and This is again. This is a Biden Trump. These are all Biden trials because Colangelo works for Biden Can you imagine they take a guy out of DOJ and they put him into the Attorney General's office and then into the Manhattan? DA's office to go after Trump. These are all Biden trials. So I don't know that you're gonna have it I think we're going to get some court rulings. Yeah, please I Would have no problem testified I didn't do anything wrong Well, it could also make me more popular because the people know it's a scam it's a Biden trial this is a Biden There is no trial. There's a Biden trial Colangelo the man who stood up had the nerves to actually stand up and take off You know, he's been sitting in the background for the last year today He went right up front because they figure he buffaloed the whole public and the writers including you people He got a buffalo. They forgot they didn't you know a little while ago time time sort of people forget with time They don't have good memories. I do they don't have good memories, but Colangelo from the DOJ was put there to Go after Trump and today he stood up and he took over the whole office. He's been running the whole thing He's been signing the letters. He's been doing things for a long time. Nobody's ever seen anything like it This is all done by the Democrat Party and it's all done by Biden and his group I don't know if it's Biden because I don't know if Biden is even sharper No, I don't know Biden knows what's happening. You want to know the truth? Maybe he does he probably does But this is all done by Biden and the thugs that work for Biden and it's a very bad thing It's a very dangerous thing for our country. Thank you all very much. Thank you Thank you all very much. Thank you.
