Trump lauds ‘super’ Super Tuesday in Mar-a-Lago speech

The former president appeared before crowds of supporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort, walking on stage to the sound of Lee Greenwood’s song Proud to be an American and chants of “USA”.

“They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” he told the crowd in his election night speech. “This was an amazing night, an amazing day”.

In true Trumpian fashion, the former president decried Biden as the “worst president in the history of our country”, blaming him for the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine.

If he were still in office, he added: “We wouldn’t have Russia attacking Ukraine. We wouldn’t have Israel being attacked,” Trump said.

The economy would also be thriving and undocumented migration would be stemmed, he added.

“Think of it: all of the problems that you have today. I don’t think you would have had any of them,” he said. “You’d only have success and that’s what’s ultimately going to unify this country and unify this party.”

In one particularly strange moment, Trump referred to the “the big futures – big fat, beautiful futures” in the room, apparently referring to young people in attendance.

“I’d love to be your age,” he said. “I’d pay you a lot of money to be your age.”
