7:59 PM: Trump says every Democrat running for president supports sanctuary cities and want “federal welfare for illegal immigrants on your tax.” He says the sanctuary county of Durham released an illegal immigrant who then murdered a 19-year-old woman. He wonders how sanctuary jurisdictions happened in North Carolina that released hundreds and  hundreds of “dangerous criminal aliens.”

7:38 PM: Trump says “Sleepy Joe doesn’t know where he is” or what he’s doing or what office he’s running for. Trump says if Biden wins, they are going to put him into a home and other people–“super-left radical crazies”–will be running the government.

7:31 PM: Trump again mocks “Sleepy Joe” for saying “Super Tuesday.” Says it would be over to him if he ever said “Super Tuesday.” He keeps mocking Biden for making “scary” mistakes on the campaign trail. He mocks Biden for saying 150 million people were killed by guns last year. “Can you imagine Trump saying that?
