President Trump completed the first of two trips to North Carolina, a state he won in 2020, without resorting to violent rhetoric against his political opponents, as he looks to engage in a dead heat with Harris in the key battleground state. There is.
As he always does, Trump again spoke at length about what he calls “weaving,” a tendency to meander from subject to subject in ways that are difficult to follow.
That included the topic of illegal immigration, which Trump addressed in reference to the fictional serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter, but he has not spoken out about it in recent weeks. There wasn’t.
“So I did for you what I couldn’t do in 20 speeches: I brought up Dr. Hannibal Lecter and we’ll let him,” President Trump said. spoke. He has been criticized for making this reference, but he explained that he was trying to draw an analogy to the type of criminals and psychopaths who have been released from their home countries and come to the United States, which he has repeatedly claimed without basis.
However, the former president refrained from portraying the kind of image he brought up about former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, who has supported Harris. Mr. Trump suggested earlier this week that Mr. Cheney would not be a hawk “if she were shot with nine barrels,” a move that drew backlash from Harris’ campaign and others.
President Trump also increased his level of support from women, who polls show has been lagging behind men. After Trump received criticism from the Harris campaign earlier this week for saying he would protect women “whether they like it or not,” Trump told rallygoers that he would protect women in the suburbs. The women said they loved them.
“I’m in a lot of trouble. You saw it. I said I’d protect you because I keep hearing that women love me, and that’s what I do, too. “Because we know that,” he said, adding that “millions of people flocked to the suburbs.”
The former president briefly brought up his only debate with Harris, criticizing her performance and saying, “What the hell was that?” Trump, by comparison, said he has “an aptitude for this shit.”
President Trump also tried to foresee an economic downturn under the Harris administration, telling the audience that the current jobs report is a “recession statistic” and is inaccurate. However, as President Trump has pointed out, employment in the manufacturing industry is decreasing, and October’s employment statistics were far lower than expected due to the effects of hurricane damage across multiple states and worker strikes. As the economy continues to grow, jobs are still being added to the U.S. economy.
