Many of his signature proposals and policies mentioned frequently at campaign events were on display: increased oil drilling, a rollback of President Joe Biden's economic policies including the Inflation Reduction Act and a massive bipartisan infrastructure bill and the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
In Michigan, Trump was more expansive with his displeasure. He decried a"fake trial" in New York and said the judge was unconstitutionally stopping him from speaking, while arguing the multiple criminal cases against him"bullshit."
