Roger Simon Says Trump Is a ‘Force of Nature’ Following Nashville Speech

Donald Trump Speaking

Roger Simon, the co-founder of PJMedia and current columnist for The Epoch Times, attended former President Donald Trump’s speech at the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville on Thursday,

Simon, noting how Trump was nearly two hours late to the event after having delivered a speech at an earlier fundraiser event, said the former president was a “force of nature,” proving those who believe he has “lost a step” wrong.

“There’s a big meme out there by the left, in all its aspects, including the CIA, to promote the idea that Trump has lost a step to give an equivalency to Biden, of course, who’s lost more than a step. But it appeared to me that [Trump] hasn’t lost a step at all,” Simon explained on Friday’s edition of The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy.

“In fact, what was interesting is that he came from another speech at a fundraiser I could never afford here in town,” Simon continued. “He was scheduled to speak at 8:00…he spoke around 9:40. That means he had to have made another speech an hour before. And then the guy comes out and he speaks for an hour and 40 minutes or so. He’s a force of nature. He made no mistakes. I saw something online that he must have spoken at some point and said Israel was the capital of Israel or something, but you know, it’s the kind of stupid, meaningless…only a reporter would think it’s news.”

Simon, who is Jewish, went on to detail how Trump’s Nashville speech to more than 2,000 people was “the most pro-Israel event” he’s attended in recent times.

“It was the most pro-Israel event I’ve been to in quite some time,” Simon said. “And what was interesting is that the only person…Trump brought up [at the speech] was Ambassador David Friedman, from his days as president, who was the ambassador to Israel at that time and was involved in all the great things that Trump did for Israel. We could enumerate them, you know, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, giving the Golan Heights to Israel, the Abraham Accords, etc. And what happened is that Friedman came up incredibly well received by this overwhelmingly Christian audience and he then said that Trump was the best president for Israel that there has ever been and things like that, a true statement.”

“The crowd hugely, warmly received that, and I, as a Jewish guy, felt great,” Simon added.
