In a [rambling speech filled with grievances](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-struggles-defend-himself-mar-a-lago-speech-1234709792/), a hoarse and tired-looking Trump fumed at what he claimed were “racist” and “radical-left lunatic bomb-thrower” prosecutors pursuing him in New York, Georgia, and the special counsel’s office.

The push-and-pull over the public’s perception of Trump’s mood comes after a history-making Tuesday. “In fact, they are on the outside looking in, and it’s desperate, sad, and thirsty beyond belief.
