The passage of time seems to have proven that former President Donald Trump was right in many of the things he said, which the media dismissed as outright lies or outrageous conspiracy theories at the time. It becomes increasingly clear, as the country learns more about how events unfolded, that Trump was bludgeoned by Washington, D.C.’s political establishment – an incredibly frightening concept because he was in the White House.

After a couple of recent revelations, Richard Grenell, the Acting Director of National Intelligence during the Trump administration, shared a video of Trump’s 60 Minutes interview with Leslie Stahl.

A New York Times report on Thursday reveals that emails on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop have been verified, despite the corporate media and Big Tech shutting down the explosive New York Post report on the issues in the run-up to the Nov. 2020 election. The second comes from U.S. Attorney John Durham who alleges that a technology executive who had access to White House servers was working with the Clinton campaign to identify “derogatory information” about Trump in his emails.

As such, it comes across as if Trump was spied on as he claimed all along, including in Stahl’s interview, in which she essentially laughed off the complaint, just as she did after Trump said he was “in the midst of a scandal” as a result of the Post report on Hunter Biden’s laptop – Hunter Biden clearly was trying to capitalize on his father’s name and selling access to Vice President Biden, with an email specifically mentioning 10 percent of a deal to the “big guy.”

“Scandal for Lesley Stahl. This is Rather interesting,” Grenell wrote, sharing a clip from the 60 Minutes interview:

In this October 2020 clip of Trump saying it is “criminal” that the media refused to report on the Hunter laptop story – there was a boycott of the Post story as a result – it seems Trump was right about the media as well.

In addition, Grenell tweeted: “Hunter Biden’s laptop would have sunk Joe Biden’s election. The DC newsrooms knew it. They covered it up. This is a total crisis for the US media.”

On Thursday, Drew Holden presented a very thorough thread detailing how the media buried the story in advance of the election:

Last Saturday, Trump declared that if Republicans take back Congress in November’s midterm elections, they will ban critical race theory.

According to him, banning the theory in schools and workplaces is a ‘matter of survival’ that Americans need to ‘lay their very lives down’ to protect.

During his tenure, President Trump signed an executive order which banned ‘efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex- and race-based ideologies.’

‘As President, I was proud to issue the world’s first ban on critical race theory in September of 2020. Joe Biden rescinded that order, but as soon as we retake Congress, Republicans will ban critical race theory once and for all,’ Trump said.

‘They will also defund the racist equity mandates across the entire federal government. No more illegal discrimination in everything. Getting critical race theory out of our schools is not just a matter of values. It’s also a matter of national survival. We have no choice.

‘The fate of any nation ultimately depends upon the willingness of its citizens to lay down, and they must do this, lay down their very lives to defend their country. If we allow the Marxists and communists and socialists to teach our children to hate America, there will be no one left to defend our flag or to protect our great country or its freedom.’

As part of the event, Trump attacked President Joe Biden as mentally and physically impaired and attacked the Democrat commander-in-chief’s foreign policy in his first event since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Additionally, it’s his first since Biden delivered the State of the Union address.

‘You could take the five worst presidents in American history and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done in just 13 months. We have a president representing our country at the most important time in history, who is physically and mentally challenged,’ he continued.

According to him, Biden ‘failed to deter Russia’s outrageous invasion of Ukraine’ and that Putin never would have attacked Ukraine under his presidency.

‘The fake news said my personality got us into a war. ‘I’m telling you, that guy’s going to get us into a war.’ But actually, my personality is what kept us out of war. I was the only president in nearly four decades who did not get America into any new conflicts.’ Trump proclaimed.

While Trump did not mention Putin by name, he blasted his invasion as a ‘terrible atrocity’. Last month, he had hailed Russia’s plan as “genius,” a statement that was heavily criticized.

On the other hand, he described Putin as a “driven” man at one point.

‘The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a terrible atrocity that should never have been allowed to happen or would have never happened. I know I speak for everyone here tonight. When I say we are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. They are going through hell,’ he stated.

‘Make no mistake, however, that Russia would not have dared to annex one inch of territory. If I was in the White House. In fact, they never did it when I was there.’
