"If I were a Democrat instead of a Republican, I think everybody would've been in jail a long time ago, & I'm talking with 50-year sentences...people should be going to jail for this stuff...this was all Obama.

TRUMP: "Actually, [Russia] wanted Hillary Clinton to win. Nobody's been tougher -- you can speak to Putin or anybody else -- nobody has been tougher on Russian than I have. They wanted Hillary Clinton to win." (Russia actually spent many millions of dollars to elect Trump.) pic.twitter.com/iWGTmfbJiD— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 14, 2020

"They would rather see our country fail, and you know what that means because part of failure is death. They would rather see that than have me get elected." -- Trump claims that Democrats would rather have Americans die than him win a second term. Bartiromo agrees with him. pic.twitter.com/dRA4ZHAWks— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 14, 2020
Trump’s latest interview with Maria Bartiromo was a window into an upside down world where "Obamagate" is a bigger story than the coronavirus pandemic -- and an indication he plans to run for the second straight cycle on imprisoning prominent Democrats https://t.co/pqODqeC8Yz— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 14, 2020

To complete silence from the audience, Trump announces that the US has completed it's 10 millionth test.

Trump: "We have more cases that anybody in the world. But why? Because we do more testing. When you test, you have a case. When you test you find something is wrong with people.
