The former president took care not to disparage witnesses after being found in contempt of court.
Former President Donald Trump appears at a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, speaking for well over an hour. | Jamie Kelter Davis for POLITICOAt his first rallies since the start of his criminal trial, Donald Trump acknowledged the event that’s now consuming his spring and pulling him, most days, away from the campaign trail.
“It’s called having a little fun on the campaign trail in Wisconsin,” Trump said during his first rally of the day. “It’s all garbage. It’s just a way for Democrats to try to take him down,” Larry Solberg, a Waukesha resident and small-business owner who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, but had never attended a rally until Wednesday in Wisconsin. “They’re going to find him guilty, but I’m sure he’ll work his way around it.”
Trump’s trial in Manhattan on charges stemming from hush money payments to a porn star has hampered his ability to campaign this spring, taking up eight hours of most of his weekdays while he sits in court, and limiting any big events to Wednesdays and weekends. Trump’s campaign swing Wednesday marked his second to Wisconsin and Michigan in the last month — after holding rallies in Green Bay and Grand Rapids at the beginning of April — another sign of its significance to either candidate’s path to victory.
“Basically, the states decide on abortion, and people are absolutely thrilled with the way that’s going on,” Trump said of abortion laws post-, a Supreme Court decision whose overturning he claimed credit for. “Every state is different.”
