During a White House event Monday night President Donald Trump really let loose, telling the audience about his thought process after the 2020 election was "fortified" (to use the Time Magazine term).

If Trump had served his second term from 2020 through 2024, he explained, he wouldn't have been president when the United States hosts the 2028 Summer Olympics or the 2026 World Cup. But, the way things worked out, Democrats will have to watch as President Trump presides over those events and the United States of America's 250th birthday.

Of course, Trump describes this scenario in a way that only he can.

"And then they rigged the election. And then I said, you know what I'll do? I'll run again, and I'll shove it up their ass. And that's what I did.”

He said:

"We got the Olympics and then we got, through Johnny... we got the World Cup. We got them both. And I said, man, I won't be president! I got the Olympics and the World Cup [2026], and I won't be president, and they're gonna forget that I got them, nobody's gonna mention it, because you know, that's the way life is.

"And then they rigged the election. And then I said, 'You know what I'll do? I'll run again, and I'll shove it up their a*s.' And that's what I did. And all of a sudden, I then realized, I said, you know what? I got the Olympics. I got the World Cup, and I got the 250th. Look at the way this works out.

"So if they would have left us alone and wouldn't have cheated on the election and wouldn't have rigged it, I would have been retired right now. I would have been happily doing something else. And instead, they have me for four more years. Can you believe it?"

What makes it even more classically Trump is that the remarks were given during an event for the Kennedy Center, and there were some truly magical performances, like this one.

Beautiful evening hosted by @POTUS @realDonaldTrump this evening at the @WhiteHouse with the @KenCen Board of Trustees. I’m honored to be a part of it, such an incredible group of PATRIOTS! Big things coming—will be AWESOME! Great job @RichardGrenell @SergioGor!🇺🇸🦅🚀 pic.twitter.com/DqZbnR8mwl

Trump is such an incredible combination of country club golfer and street-smart salesman, and this is the defining example.
