Former President Donald Trump, amidst a fiery campaign rally on Wednesday coinciding with the third Republican primary debate in Miami, Florida, proclaimed that he wears his recent indictments as a “great badge of honor,” asserting that his parents were looking down from heaven, expressing their pride in him. Addressing the crowd, Trump passionately declared, “They indicted me! Can you believe? My father and mother are looking down. ‘Son, how did that happen? We’re so proud of you, son. How did that happen?'”
Characterizing the legal actions against him as political and attributing them to the Biden administration, Trump fiercely criticized ongoing trials in New York, dismissing them as a ploy orchestrated by the White House to undermine his influence and discourage voter participation. He emphasized his resilience, stating, “Every time I’m indicted, I consider it a great badge of honor because I’m being indicted for you. Thanks a lot, everybody. I appreciate it. I’m being indicted for you, and never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never, ever, ever let them take away your freedom. I won’t let it happen.”
Trump, displaying unwavering confidence, reiterated his commitment to his supporters, asserting that his adversaries aimed not just at him but at the American people. “They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. I will never let them do it, and in the end, they’re not after me, they’re after you. I just happen to be standing in their way, and that’s true. That’s true,” he declared passionately to the cheering audience.
