HOWELL, Mich. – Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted the Democratic National Convention’s programming as “lies”
Trump, 78, met with The Post on Tuesday before giving remarks to a crowd in Michigan about local law enforcement. He said that while his event focused on tackling crime, the theme he saw at the DNC on Monday night was “lies” – predicting that former President Barack Obama would repeat that again when he takes the stage Tuesday night as the keynote speaker.
“I think it was about lies. It was lies about me, all night long they were saying things that weren’t true,” Trump said.
“Charlottesville has been disproven. Everything that they’ve said has been disproven. The French soldier thing that they do all the time has been disproven, in the French cemetery,” he added, denying making controversial remarks Democrats attribute to him, such as calling veterans “suckers and losers.”
He then asserted that Democrats “are good at lying.”
“Every single thing that they talked about. The immigration. How about inflation? We had no inflation and they had a lot and they said the reverse,” Trump said. “It was disinformation, misinformation, which is what they talk about all the time.”
“It’s probably the same thing [that will happen tonight.] It’s just incredible. They get before the cameras and they make up stories. Like they’re storytellers,” he added.
Trump said he agreed with the repeated line Monday night painting Vice President Kamala Harris’ as the “underdog” in the 2024 election – but that doesn’t mean she deserves sympathy.
“She should be the underdog because she did such a bad job,” Trump told The Post in an exclusive interview, referring to Harris’ time as vice president handling the border. “The job that she did was a disgrace, and to think that she’s now running for president.”
Harris has described her campaign with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as an “underdog” movement in her fight against Trump because she has limited time to speak to voters after President Biden dropped out of the race.
Her closest allies at the Democratic National Convention stressed her humble beginnings throughout the first night of the four-day event.
