Joe Biden endlessly prattled on that it was his outrage over the 2017 “Unite the Right” Charlottesville rally that compelled him to run, but it was never particularly believable because he used the thoroughly debunked “very fine people” argument as his main motivator. That was the lie that Trump publicly sympathized with white supremacists and neo-Nazis, which of course he did not.
But at the Conservative Political Action Conference 2025 on Saturday in National Harbor, Maryland (on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.), Trump said he had a very compelling reason to run again after he controversially lost the 2020 election to Mumbles Biden.
It was the invasion at our southern border, which Joe did less than nothing to stop.
Watch:
President Trump says the illegal invasion made him run again:
“I couldn’t stand it, these people come in from jails and… gang members being dropped off in buses … So, I said, ‘I’m going to run for president again.’ Now we don’t have that problem.”

“I couldn’t STAND it,” the president intoned with his trademark humor.
I tell you, I had four years — I don’t know if you had this. [Through gritted teeth] I couldn’t STAND it.
[As if talking to himself] Don’t get angry, Donald—don’t get angry, please.
I couldn’t stand it. Watching these people come in from jails and mental institutions and the worst criminals and the street gang members being dropped off in buses and bused into our country. I couldn’t stand it.
So I said, I’m going to run for president again. [Applause.] And now we don’t have that problem.
Now we don’t have that problem anymore.
