President Donald Trump in a rare speech at the Justice Department headquarters blasting his enemies could not help but break a promise to his wife Melania Trump.
The president in his hourlong address digressed from his prepared remarks and railed against his ‘scum’ opponents and ‘weaponization’ of the department by the Biden administration.
Trump called out by name former prosecutorswho launched investigations on him, and labeled former President Joe Biden the head of a ‘crime’ family, in his rant in the department’s Great Hall on Friday afternoon.
Meanwhile, he lauded ‘absolute model’ federal judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed criminal charges he faced for alleged mishandling of classified documents.
In the process, Trump acknowledged breaking a vow to the first lady.
‘I will not use a bad word. I promised my wife I would never use a bad word,’ he said, before doing just that.
‘The case against me was bulls***.’
Trump used the speech, which was billed as renewing the department’s focus on fighting crime and drugs, to claim victory over his political foes.
‘We’re turning the page on four long years of corruption, weaponization and surrender to violent criminals, and we’re restoring fair, equal and impartial justice,’ he said.
At the end of his address, Trump made another move his wife does not like – his signature dance with alternating fist pumps that he did on the campaign trail.
The president clapped at the end of his own speech, then did the dance move as ‘YMCA’ blared in the background, and smiled and waved on his way out.
In 2023, Trump revealed Melania’s opinion of the dance: ‘She said it’s not presidential, and I understand. She also has two things, that, and she doesn’t like when I dance a little bit to the music.’
