Former Republican President Donald Trump once again left people wondering if he's purposely obfuscating the facts of his situation or suffering from delusions.

Speaking to the gathered media for about 15 minutes after leaving court for the day on Monday, Trump made a bizarre claim.

The twice-impeached, one-term President said:

"They haven’t even charged me with a crime."

Trump stood outside of the Manhattan courthouse where he has been on trial after being charged with several crimes. His criminal trial—one that requires criminal indictments to commence—had just finished its 19th day.

You can see the moment here:


Trump said:

"They didn't know what to charge me for. They haven't even charged me with a crime."
"You know what the crime is? I beat Hillary Clinton. That's what the crime is."

Referring to notes, Trump managed to remember who his opponents were in 2016 and 2020 instead of citing Democratic President Barack Obama again.

He continued:

"And they don't want me to beat—on behalf of I think 200 million people—they don't want me to beat Biden, okay? It's a shame. This is what they have done."

Trump then made his plea again to have his actions ignored by the courts.

"This case should be dropped by the judge. I think the judge if he did that would gain the respect back. Either the appellate court has to step in or something has to happen."
"The Republican party—one of the 2 great parties—nominates somebody to be their candidate, and that candidate now has been sitting here for almost 5 weeks in a freezing cold icebox listening to this stuff. No crime."

People weren't buying Trump's delusion/lie.

Despite the former President claiming to be unaware of any charges, others were.



The prosecution and defense rested their case in Trump's New York state trial as of Tuesday, with summations set for next Tuesday.

Trump still faces state and federal charges in three other jurisdictions.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.

Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.

Some say that parenting is an impossible job, with an unending list of decisions and possible missteps, but parenting might feel uniquely impossible to someone in Savannah Guthrie's position.

Guthrie's mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her home at the end of January. Her absence was first noted when she did not appear at church service that Sunday. One of her doors was discovered ajar and a single image of a blurry figure was caught on camera, and there's been no sign of her or her whereabouts since.
