Donald Trump has made a historic speech at the Mar-a-Lago defending his not-guilty plea to 34 charges.

The speech was used to build support for his cause, but he is not expected to face court until December. 

Managing Director of Global Directions Think Tank Dr Keith Suter told 6PR Afternoons Mr Trump was very “subdued” in his speech.

“He’s got to be careful not to stimulate any anger or to incite violence,” said Dr Suter.

“He’s begging to listen to appropriate legal advice.”
