"Hm, I'm just looking at these charges, it's just pretty incredible, Trump said, rifling through the stack of papers, intermittently pausing to hold a page up to the camera. Many murderers. Many, many murderers. People that murdered. The president did not stop to name names, or to clarify which people he was targeting in his scrambled monologue, but the entries followed a general template that read at the top: Minnesota: worst of worst."
"Trump continued to read names and lists of charges, sometimes without even looking at the camera. Instead, it appeared he was simply reading brand-new information aloud to himself. I'm going through this because I think we have plenty of time. I'm going to a placebeautiful placein Switzerland, where I'm sure I'm very happily waited for, Trump rambled. In Switzerland they don't know about this. They have other problems, but they don't have this problem."
The president marked the first-year anniversary of his second term by appearing in the White House and handling a stack of papers. He rifled through pages, intermittently holding them up to the camera while reading charges aloud. He repeatedly said phrases like 'Many murderers' without naming specifics. The entries he read often followed a template labeled 'Minnesota: worst of worst.' At times he read lists of names and charges without looking at the camera, appearing to speak new information to himself. He rambled about traveling to Switzerland and suggested Swiss audiences 'don't have this problem.' He held up another page and said, 'Killed someone.'
