Tonight, Donald Trump implied that he will pardon his local equivalent, Sheriff Joe:

Arpaio was convicted last month of criminal contempt for ignoring a federal judge’s order to stop detaining people because he merely suspected them of being undocumented immigrants. A major Trump supporter during last year’s campaign, he awaits sentencing.

“So was Sheriff Joe convicted for doing his job?” Trump asked the crowd. “You know what, I’ll make a prediction: I think he’s going to be just fine, OK? But I won’t do it tonight because I don’t want to cause any controversy. But Sheriff Joe should feel good.”

He equated American “heritage” with treason in defense of slavery:

It is the fault of the media, Trump declared, for “fomenting divisions” in the United States.

“They are trying to take away our history and our heritage, you see that,” Trump said, an apparent reference to removing monuments to Confederate generals.

“These are really, really dishonest people and they’re bad people and I really think they don’t like our country,” Trump said of the press. “The only people giving a platform to these hate groups is the media itself and the fake news.”

I can’t find a transcript, but apparently he also engaged in some random attacks on President, Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Prime Minister, and starting left tackle for the Seattle Seahwaks Jonathan Gruber. Anyway, you can see his full speech here:
