At his first campaign rally since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, former President Donald Trump spoke at length about his new opponent, Hannibal Lecter, and even took a moment to mock political commentators who said the Republican nominee would become “nice” after his attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“You know, I was supposed to be nice. They say, something happened to me when I got shot—I became nice. And when you’re dealing with these people—they’re very dangerous people—when you’re dealing with them, you can’t be too nice. You really can’t be. So if you don’t mind, I’m not going to be nice. Is that ok?”
The crowd let out a cheer in response.
