On the continuation of the show – The Economist:
‘Hours before the rally, Trump sent supporters a fundraising email promising “an EARTH-SHATTERING announcement that blows this race wide open”.
“It’ll strike FEAR into the hearts of our DEEP STATE ENEMIES. It’ll force the Fake News Media to kick their propaganda machine into OVERDRIVE. It’ll send Comrade Kamala begging for massive checks from the liberal billionaire class,” he promised.
No such message was immediately discernible as the former president hit many of his stock themes, from immigration and crime to questioning whether Kamala Harris would be able to “stand up to China and North Korea” as president.
Trump called for the death penalty for drug dealers and promised to “end the era of inflation and misery”, to “keep men out of women’s sports” and to “restore peace through strength”, while veering off into observations about the “war on Christmas”.
Once again the former president attacked foreign governments for allegedly emptying their prisons and shipping criminals to the US illegally. But he added a new twist by saying that if he was in charge of the same countries he would be more effective than the governments he was criticising at pursuing such a policy.
“If I was running one of those countries, I’d be doing better than them at getting them (imprisoned criminals) out,” he said.’
