According to The Daily Beast, Trump was the keynote speaker at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner held on Sunday by the Oakland County Republican Party.

During a live stream of the event, Trump takes the stage, where he is applauded and met with loud chants of "USA!" He walked back and forth upon the stage as the song God Bless America played in its entirety.

He went on to give a speech filled with his greatest hits, from baseless allegations of election fraud and interference, to downplaying his serious legal issues as "bulls***" orchestrated by Democrats.

"For seven years all of us have been fighting side by side to rescue our country from the sinister forces who truly hate our country and want to destroy it, and now we are approaching the most important battle of our lives," he told the crowd.

On his recent indictment on 37 federal charges in the classified documents case, he says he considers it "a great badge of honor and courage."

"Essentially I'm being indicted for you, 200 million people that love our country," he added.

Trump went on to attack his political opponents, describing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as having "no personality," and claiming President Joe Biden "is not in favor of religion." He also rallied against subjects like critical race theory and birthright citizenship, which he believes is destroying America.

"We are a failing nation. A nation in decline... This is the final battle," Trump said, reminiscent of his rhetoric surrounding the January 6 Capitol riots. "With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State... drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. We will defeat crooked Joe Biden."

"We will liberate America from these villains once and for all," Trump concluded.
