Confused Trump unable to answer basic questions, host stunned

but even people that are against me are  going to be voting for me Speaker 1: after  

yesterday's first full day of the actual  criminal trial of Donald Trump. Last week  

was jury selection. Yesterday, the criminal trial  began. A very confused Donald Trump appeared with  

John Fredericks on Real America's voice, and he  was unable or unwilling to answer even the most  

basic questions, to the point that the host was  sort of confused and stunned that Trump would  

answer nothing. Trump was asked, how are  your family members holding up during the  

trial? I laughed because it's like, as if  Trump knows, as if Trump cares. And Trump's  

answer doesn't contain any mention of how  his family is holding up. The question was,  

how's your family holding up? Trump says words. He  tries to synthesize thoughts into language, but it  

doesn't relate to the question that was asked. Speaker 3: We know we know each other for a very  

long time. How is your family  holding up through all this? 

Speaker 4: Oh, look, it's it's always  tough when you can't go to your son's  

graduation. You know, he's a great student. Speaker 1: Now, understand that that's Trump  

talking about himself. Not not not how his  family is holding up, interestingly enough. 

Speaker 4: He's a good boy. And you tell him  you can't go to his graduate. This judge who  

is a totally conflicted person, by the way.  Totally. He should not be the judge of this  

case. He's so and that nobody's nobody's ever  been as conflicted as him. Just about ever.  

But this judge, said that, you can't get away  from the trial. You know, he's rushing the trial  

like crazy. Nobody's ever seen a thank you all  like this. That's your. He was big so fast. 90. 

Speaker 1: Doesn't Trump say at every single  one of his speeches? Now that one of the  

great things about China is you get a quick  trial somehow, I don't think his own trial  

is what Trump had in mind. Speaker 4: 5% Democrats,  

the area's mostly all Democrat. You think of  it as a just a purely Democrat area. Yeah,  

it's a very unfair situation that I can tell you. Speaker 1: One of the things that is important  

to mention is that Trump is still lying. The  judge said he can't go to Barron's graduation.  

The judge said he is not going to rule on that in  April, when the graduation isn't until May 17th,  

and that it's going to depend on how the trial  is going. And by the way, I assume the judge  

is going to let Trump go to Barron's graduation,  but the judge has not ruled that Trump can't go.  

Then the topic of MAGA, Mike Johnson came up. And  as you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to,  

catalyze the MAGA hardcore base to to remove Mike  Johnson the way they did to Kevin McCarthy. Mike  

Johnson flying down to Mar-A-Lago last week or  the week before to get some FaceTime with Trump  

and to try to put forward a united front and  save his speakership. John Fredericks asking  

Trump, what about the MAGA Mike Johnson  stuff? And here's what Trump had to say. 

Speaker 3: A couple of them have called for  his ouster. Now, we've got three congressmen  

calling for him to be replaced and the Republican  side. But you're standing with him and you've  

you've stood with him firmly. How do you square  this divide now between MAGA and Mike Johnson,  

with your support of him and our base? Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, look, we have a  

majority of one, okay? No, it's not like he can  go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's  

a very good person. You know, he stood very  strongly with me on the NATO when I said that  

NATO has to pay up and they have to pay up soon  and fast. And he has stood strongly on that. He  

agrees with that. He also got some of the money  in the form of a loan, quite a bit of the money  

in the form of a loan. And he, you know, felt on  that. But, it's a tough situation when you have  

one. I think he's a very good man. I think  he's trying very hard. And again, we've got  

to have a big election. We've got to elect some  people in Congress much more than we have right  

now. And we have to elect some good senators, get  rid of some of the ones we have now, like Romney. 

Speaker 1: So you know, what I'm hearing and  Trump's equivocation here, he's a good guy. We've  

only got one majority of one, a margin of one. I'm  hearing Trump essentially concede that he would be  

far more interested in the Marjorie Taylor Greene  opposition to MAGA Mike Johnson if it wasn't  

control of the House that was hanging in the  balance. And it's sort of the abortion question,  

I don't know, 1864 law, a 2024 law for, late  term or not, or total ban, five week, six week,  

whatever, as long as you vote for it, for me,  and it doesn't hurt my reelection. I'm kind  

of up for whatever. That's what I'm hearing.  There are a couple other strange moments from  

this interview. Trump confusedly saying that  even people who are against him will be voting  

for him in November, which I haven't heard. Speaker 4: But even people that are against  

me are going to be voting for me, so. Speaker 1: I don't know where he's  

getting that idea. It's a very, very strange  idea. And then also Donald Trump declaring  

that America is a sick country. Speaker 4: And what is going  

on with our country. It's a sick country. Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that has  

really changed in the Republican Party, I don't  depending on the age of people in the audience,  

you know, I'm in my 80s, so I remember this  when it was going on, in the George W Bush  

era. You could criticize Bill Clinton or  Barack Obama right before after Bush era.  

You could even criticize that George W Bush wasn't  being right wing enough, or there were all sorts  

of criticisms that were allowed of the president.  But you don't attack the country. You don't say,  

the country used to be great. It's not good  anymore. You don't say, this is a sick country.  

You don't say that the country is now, bad in the  ways that Donald Trump has been saying. It was  

always something that the so-called conservative  right, and to what degree they were conservative,  

we can argue about. You stopped short of  saying the country sucks, essentially,  

but. MAGA. Trumpism has ushered in an era where,  up until the day Trump leaves office, the country  

is great. And the day that Trump leaves office  and Joe Biden takes over, you immediately start  

saying, the country's a joke. We're not great  anymore. We've got to make it great again. It's  

a sick country. And that is considered acceptable  now among MAGA Trumpist wings of the Republican  

Party. It used to be that you don't go that far in  the Romney wing. You say our taxes are too high,  

we have too much regulation. Our foreign  policy has gone astray. But this is still  

the best country, and it's a great country  with MAGA Trumpists. It is such a risk to  

even acknowledge we still think the country's  great. Really? So even Biden didn't prevent the  

country from being great. Maybe Biden's not so  bad. That's what they are terrified about. And  

that's why it is now acceptable to say that the  country is bad and that the country is sick and  

that it's not great anymore. A big change, a big  change from 20 years ago in this Republican Party
