The New York Times reports:
Mr. Trump entered the donor event to the recording of the national anthem that he made with a group of people arrested in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. “When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions and you have welfare,” Mr. Trump said on Saturday. “And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote, and then they cheat on top of that — they cheat.”
Mr. Trump also mocked the physical appearance of Jack Smith, the special counsel who has indicted him twice. “He’s unattractive both inside and out,” Mr. Trump said. “This is one unattractive dude.” He then used two expletives to describe Mr. Smith. At another point, Mr. Trump said that if anyone wanted to donate $1 million to the R.N.C. on the spot, “I will let you come up and speak.” He sounded disappointed until someone accepted the invitation.
