President Donald Trump on Monday dropped a vulgar turn of phrase as he talked about how he’d vowed to avenge his defeat in the 2020 election, which he once again falsely claimed had been rigged against him,
Trump, during a speech at a Kennedy Center board dinner, congratulated himself for securing during his first term the 2028 Olympics for Los Angeles and soccer’s 2026 FIFA World Cup for North America.
Had the election not been stolen from him by Joe Biden, Trump said, referring to his lie about the results, he’d now be out of office and his role in securing the two major sporting events would be forgotten.
“And then they rigged the election, and then I said, ‘You know what I’ll do? I’ll run again and I’ll shove it up their ass,’” he said.
The audience lapped up the line.
Trump, who appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center earlier this year amid a pro-MAGA purge of the historically bipartisan organization, continued:
“So if they would’ve left us alone, and wouldn’t have cheated on the election, and wouldn’t have rigged it, I would’ve been retired right now. I would’ve been happily doing something else. And instead they have me for four more years. Can you believe that?”
Watch here:
"And then they rigged the election. And then I said, you know what I'll do? I'll run again, and I'll shove it up their ass. And that's what I did.”
