Trump Mostly Complained at First Rally Since Conviction

New York Times: “Trump spent much of the rally complaining: about the heat, the apparently malfunctioning teleprompters, his legal troubles. He heaped blame upon Democrats, hoping a tale of bad things happening to him would be just as motivating to his base as the charmed version of his life story.”

“It was a good bet. In the crowd and on the stage behind him, the supporters he has long primed to embrace his grievances held up his misfortunes like a badge of honor.”
