At a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, former President Donald Trump made controversial remarks about the media and his departure from the White House after the 2020 election. Speaking behind bulletproof glass, Trump observed, "I have a piece of glass here, but all we have over here is the fake news. And to get me, someone would have to shoot through the fake news, and I don't mind that so much." The comments drew laughter from the crowd. He also stated, "I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, 'cause we did so well," referring to his exit from the presidency following his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
