President Donald Trump was delighted on Friday during a marathon press conference when an influencer from Mike Lindell’s television network asked him about widely debunked 2020 election fraud claims.

“On the 2020 election, is there any more information on the special prosecutor? So many Americans still have questions about the 2020 elections. And speaking of rogue judges, would you consider appointing somebody at DOJ, maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you, your family, and your supporters during the Biden administration?” asked the breathless MAGA supporter.

“I love you, who are you?” Trump replied.

“Cara Castronuova from Lindell TV,” replied the questioner.

“Well, that’s just a very nice question. And it’s not a setup. I have no idea who you are, but I appreciate that question,” Trump replied, making clear they had not coordinated in advance. He continued:

All I can say is we’re not here for that. I hope so. I hope they’re doing a thing because that election was rigged and stolen, and we can’t allow that to happen. You know, a lot of people tell me, sir, you just won the greatest election in the history of our country. You won all seven swing states, won the popular vote, won everything.

‘Sir, go on with your life,’ and many people say that, good people, friends of mine, then you have people that say that same thing, go on with your life, but you have to find out what happened because you can’t let that happen again. Look at what this lunatic did. Look at what he did.

Trump then launched on what he calls a “weave” and eventually ended up talking about decapitations in Africa:

He opened our borders to people that were murderers, thousands to be exact, murderers. And we’ve captured many of those murderers. And we’re bringing them back. Some of them are so dangerous that we don’t even want to bring them back, we’re afraid they’re going to try and come back in. But he allowed people to come into this country, people from mental institutions, insane asylums, that’s a mental institution on steroids. People from mental institutions, gang members, drug dealers. People from jails being emptied out into our country, Venezuela emptied out almost its entire prison population into our country.

But I don’t want to blame them. Many countries have done that. The Congo, you know, we have a great press conference coming up later. And it’s the Congo and Rwanda, you know, they were fighting for years and it was machetes, it was vicious. It was as vicious as it gets, with people’s heads being chopped off. And I have a man who’s very good in that part of the world, very smart, and put him together and we’re signing a peace treaty today. First time in many years they’re going to have peace and it’s a big deal. You know, we talk about Russia and we’ll work on that one. President Putin called up and he said, I’d love to help you with Iran. I said, do me a favor, I’ll handle Iran. Help me with Russia. We’ve got to get that one settled. And I think something’s going to happen there. But we did some great work. India and Pakistan. That was maybe going to be nuclear. We did that. We did a lot of work. I don’t know if there’s ever been a president that’s done much more. Serbia and Kosovo were going to go at it. Going to be a big war.

I said, you go at it, there’s no trade with the United States. They said, well, maybe we won’t go at it. That’s what happened with India and Pakistan. I was negotiating with both of them. And I said to Scott, I said to Howard, cancel all deals with India and Pakistan. They’re not trading with us if they’re going to war. They call back. What do we do? I said look, you want to have trade with the United States, it’s great, but you want to go and start using nuclear weapons on each other, we’re not going to allow that, and they both agreed. Both have great leaders. They both agreed not to do it.

“So we did a lot, but I appreciate that question,” Trump concluded, thanking Castronuova one last time for her question.
