Former president and current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump attended a Fox News Town Hall event hosted by Laura Ingraham Tuesday night, where he discussed Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, the Biden border invasion, his sham courtroom show trials, and his possible pick for VP.
Trump arrived to an enthusiastic crowd outside the event in Greenville, South Carolina, just days away from the state’s Republican Primary on Saturday.
Trump also received a huge greeting as he walked on stage:

During the discussion, Trump singled out Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as a potential VP option.
Trump also confirmed Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), and Tulsi Gabbard are all on his shortlist for VP picks.

The former president also discussed his successor Joe Biden’s disaster at the southern border, mail-in voter fraud, and took a voter’s question on Ukraine funding:
Trump also addressed Biden’s fading cognitive faculties, slamming his inability to negotiate and saying he “has no clue what’s happening.”
At one point he also challenged Biden to a debate:

Asked whether there’ll be retribution for those who’ve wronged him, Trump said, “My revenge will be success.”
The comment comes as Trump declared, “I don’t get too angry, I get even,” last month after Republican contender Nikki Haley refused to bow out of the race despite Trump schlonging her by double digits in the New Hampshire primary.
Trump also broke down his sham court case alleging he stole classified documents, pointing out in Biden’s own classified document case he didn’t have the protection of the Presidential Records Act.
The 45th president also compared his New York civil fraud trial to “a form of Navalny,” the Russian opposition leader Russian President Vladimir Putin is accused of having killed.
He also referred to New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over his trial, as a “nutjob.”
Asked if he would ever concede defeat given the multitude of obstacles thrown his way, Trump said he wouldn’t drop out of the race because he’s driven by a desire to make America great again.
