“When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. … They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” June 16, 2015

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the [Ukrainian] prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the [US] Attorney General it would be great… I would kindly ask you, if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation [of Hunter Biden]…” Transcript excerpt from the July 25, 2019 Trump phone call with  Volodymyr Zelenskiy, President of Ukraine, pressing Zelenskiy further to investigate Hunter Biden’s activities in that country.

"We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we're working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it's going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you," January 30, 2020

“Kung-flu,” “Wuhan Virus,” “Chinese Virus,” and “Chinese plague” in multiple speeches beginning in February of 2020.

“And we're prepared, and we're doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” March 10, 2020

"It's China's fault, it should never have happened.” on October 3, 2020.

“Stand back and stand by…” September 22, 2020.

“I just want to find 11,780 votes.” Recorded January 2, 2021 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger in an effort to overturn the 2020 election results. 

We won. We won in a landslide. This was a landslide.” Repeating the “Big Lie” on January 6, 2021.

“But I said something's wrong here, something is really wrong, can have happened. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore… So we're going to -- we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give -- the Democrats are hopeless, they never voted for anything. Not even one vote. But we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help.” January 6, 2021

"These are the things and events that happened when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!" Tweet hours after insurrection began to end the Capitol invasion on January 6, 2021.

““The irregularities and outright fraud of this election are an open wound to the United States of America. Something must be done—immediately!” August 3, 2021 (repeated frequently)

"I didn't say anything wrong in the call." January 20, 2022, referencing the above Raffensperger call. 

"My phone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia was perfect...What this Civil Special Grand Jury should be looking into is not my perfect phone call, but the large scale voter fraud that took place in Georgia." January 22, 2022, after a grand jury was convened in Atlanta to investigate Trump’s attempt to reverse the election.

“If I run and if I win, we will treat those people [Capitol insurrectionists] from January 6th fairly… And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.” January 29, 2022.

I’m Peter Dekom, and this twice-impeached president, under civil and criminal investigation in Washington, D.C., New York and Georgia, currently runs virtually the entire Republican Party and expects to regain the White House in 2024.
