Former President Donald J. Trump, during an event in Ohio, delivered a speech with some vulgarities and doomsday predictions if he didn’t win the upcoming election.
Dehumanizing language
Trump used dehumanizing language towards some illegal immigrants who are accused of committing heinous crimes. Trump also reiterated claims about the “stolen” 2020 election and criticized various Democratic figures.
‘Not People’
Trump argued that other countries are seeing people leave their prisons and escape across the border to the US. “I don’t know if you call them ‘people,’ in some cases,” he said. “They’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”
‘Animals’
Trump later referred to criminal illegals entering the US as “animals.”
‘Blood Bath’
The speech lasted for nearly 90 minutes. At one point, Trump said, “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”
Must win
If he did not win this year’s presidential election, Trump said, “I don’t think you’re going to have another election, or certainly not an election that’s meaningful.”
Stupid president
Trump called Biden a “stupid president” several times and at one point referred to him as a “dumb son of [expletive].”
Cleveland Indians
At another point in the speech, in reference to the Dolan family, Trump said, “My attitude is anybody who changes the name from the Cleveland Indians to the Cleveland Guardians should not be a senator.” Mr. Dolan’s family holds a majority stake in the MLB team.
Inflation
Referring to inflation, Trump said, “Everything is up: Chicken’s up, bread is up and I can’t read this damn teleprompter. This sucker is moving around. It’s like reading a moving flag in a 35-mile-an-hour wind. Then they say Trump’s a bad guy, because I’ll say this: Don’t pay the teleprompter company,” he said as the crowd laughed. “Don’t pay.”
President Joe Biden
President Joe Biden is projecting himself as a stabilizing force in the aftermath of the Trump administration. His leadership, policy agenda, and response to critical national issues are anticipated to shape the discourse surrounding the election.
In contrast
In contrast, Trump’s bid for the presidency marks a significant presence in the Republican arena. His efforts to regain the office he lost in 2020, coupled with his enduring influence within the GOP, contribute to the highly anticipated dynamics of the race.
Independent and third-party candidates
Independent and third-party candidates include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West. RFK stands out as a prominent anti-vaccine activist, nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, and initial Democratic nominee hopeful. He announced his independent candidacy, contributing to the diverse array of perspectives in the election.
Cornel West
Cornel West is known as a respected professor and progressive activist. West’s entry as an independent candidate further enriches the political discourse, reflecting a wide spectrum of voices and ideologies in the race.
