He added that he believed Eric Trump had a “PHD in subpoenas.”

“To make America great and glorious again, today I’m announcing my candidacy for the presidency of the United States,” he affirmed to great cheers before addressing the FBI raid, the “fake dossier,” the “deep state,” and lobbyists.

He vowed to make his run on working people, restore American energy independence, reform elections to ensure there are “only paper ballots” and restore an “agenda of greatness” with top Republicans and the media saying that he had to stay out of the race.

“The only force strong enough to defeat the massive corruption we are fighting against is you, the American people,” he continued. “It’s not about politics, it’s about love for this great nation.”
