Trump fumbles words at Texas rally — then says COVID is over and 'there are more of us than there are of them'

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump arrived at the rally stage in Conroe, Texas, a little over 30 minutes late. Wearing a heavy coat and throwing red "45" hats to the crowd, he paced the stage to his favorite entrance song. He began his speech attacking President Joe Biden with a laundry list of grievances he claimed are far worse under Biden than when they happened to Trump. Consistent with his claim of crowd sizes, Trump then said that they're all "moving on" from COVID and that there are "more of us" than there are of "them." "These prosecutors are vicious horrible people, they're racists.they're mentally sick.they're not after me they're after you," Trump claimed.
