Trump feeds on himself at political rally--again and again

WAUKESHA, Wis. - Donald Trump's words were almost exactly the same, but the change of scenery made all the difference.

On Tuesday, he spoke as a criminal defendant: in a dingy, echoing courthouse hallway, behind a metal barricade, flanked by a grim-faced lawyer, speaking to a handful of reporters and a single TV camera.

On Wednesday, he was the presumptive Republican nominee: backed by American flags, greeted as a hero by thousands of fans who chanted his name. This time, when Trump railed against the judge and prosecutors, denied any wrongdoing and claimed the trial was helping his poll numbers, the crowd booed and laughed and cheered.
