Trump swung through New Hampshire and South Carolina, looking to shake off concerns about a lackluster campaign and "Trump fatigue" among voters. "We need a president who's ready to hit the ground running on day one and boy, am I hitting the ground," he told the New Hampshire state Republican party's annual meeting.
"They [the media] said, 'He's not doing rallies! He's not campaigning! Maybe he's lost that step.' I'm more angry now and I'm more committed now than I ever was." Trump, now 76, entered the New
Hampshire event to the sound of singer Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA and began with his customary dubious claim there were thousands of people outside the packed venue.
Despite the advice of many Republicans to move on from his "big lie" that the 2020 election was stolen from him, he could not resist an early swipe.
Trump ticked off familiar subjects and dusted off old anecdotes, from energy independence to Hunter Biden's laptop. "We're going Marxist," he said, before decrying the participation of transgender people in women's sports.
He championed "gas stoves" and "gas cars" over their electric counterparts.
