Former President Donald Trump compared himself to iconic South African activist and former President Nelson Mandela.
The Republican presidential candidate made the statement during a speech in Derry, New Hampshire, on Monday, where he mused about his four indictments.
"We have a capital that if you go there, you get shot," he opined. "With this in mind, there's no way I can get a fair trial. You know, I'm supposed to be getting because Donald Trump challenged the election, so let's put him in jail for the rest of his life."
"They don't go after the people that cheated. Those people are free," the former president added. "If you want to challenge the result of an election, they hound you. Look what happened this weekend with two good people. They hound them, and they scare them, and they — but we don't get scared... I don't mind being Nelson Mandela because I'm doing it for a reason."
After comparing himself to the activist, Trump said he was trying to "save our country from these fascists, these lunatics."
Trump has previously denounced Mandela, calling him "no leader."
