5:25Now PlayingJust a few weeks ago, Donald Trump claimed that he was “tortured” while he was being processed in a Georgia jail after his indictments. But during his rally in Pennsylvania this week, Trump not only bragged about how awesome his mugshot is, but also told the crowd that he was “thrilled” to be arrested “for them.” Trump has done nothing but whine about his legal problems, and to suggest otherwise is to rewrite reality, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump held another rally in Pennsylvania this week that, uh, did not go well for him. I'm sure the people in the audience probably thought, Hey, everything is pretty cool here. But between calling, uh, McCormick the future governor, when he is actually running for Senate, um, between saying that, uh, two weeks ago, he didn't even know who Kamala Harris was, even though earlier in the day he had said he had known her in some capacity for many years. Um, and of course, when he called Chuck Schumer a proud member of Hamas, uh, those weren't even the weirdest things that happened during that rally because at one point, Donald Trump actually started bragging to the crowd about how his mugshot is the number one selling mugshot in the world of all time. And also about how quote, thrilled he was to actually be arrested. Here's what Donald Trump said.
I'm being indicted for you. You know what? Let me go ahead and stop. Okay? We're one sentence in, and I already have to fact check you. You're not being indicted for them. You got indicted for trying to cover up the reimbursement money that your lawyer paid to a porn star that you had an affair with. So the Hush Money trial, that's what you were indicted for. Uh, your company got sued in civil court for just years and years of fraud and lying to everybody. You've been indicted in Georgia for trying to overturn the election. You've been indicted at the federal level for trying to overturn the election. And you were indicted in Florida for stealing documents from the White House and then lying to the DOJ about returning everything. None of that was for those people. None of that was for anyone other than you. So don't sit there and try to hoodwink these people into thinking that you were doing something for them when all of it, 100% of it, the indictments and the lawsuits were because of your bad behavior. Now, back to the statement. Did you like my mugshot? Did you like the mugshot? My father's looking down. My mother and father, they're looking down because they're definitely in heaven. They made heaven. They're great.
I, okay. They're looking down and saying, I can't believe my son took a mugshot. This is unbelievable. But it's the number one selling mugshot in history. It beat Elvis and it beat Frank Sinatra. Did you know that Frank Sinatra had a big one? Did you know he got arrested for something? And I think Elvis had a fight at a gas station or something, but Elvis was one. Frank Sinatra was two. And I'm proud to admit, and I'm proud to tell you that you have made mine bigger than both of them by a lot. It's the biggest selling mugshot ever. And I still haven't figured out whether or not I'm happy about it. I'm not sure in one way, I'm thrilled in another way. I'm not sure I like
It. Um, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley were not out there openly hawking their mugshots on merchandise. Okay? They, they didn't have websites where they're like, Hey, buy my mugshot from this show on a coffee mug. Right? A mug on a mug. Yeah. That didn't, that didn't happen because that didn't exist, dude. And uh, actually, I'm gonna disagree with you.
