In the key state of North Carolina, Asheboro, a Republican billionaire was defended bulletproof glass.
Trump Claims He Will Restore World Peace
The event was about national security, and he used it to argue that the United States had become stronger under his rule and to emphasize that wars like the one in Ukraine would not have happened if he had remained in power:
My position kept us from wars. I stopped wars with phone calls.
Trump repeated his complaint that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are “leading us to the brink of World War III.”
The former president also emphasized his promise to build an “Iron Dome” in the United States similar to the one in Israel.
“We are helping Israel and other countries. (Former President) Ronald Reagan loved it many years ago. He was right, but we didn’t have the technology then. Today we have incredible technology. Other countries have it, and this country should have it,” he said.
Accuses Biden administration of manipulating employment figures
He also accused the Biden administration of manipulating employment statistics, saying they added “818,000 jobs that don’t exist.”
Trump also asked his supporters whether he should get personal after he said former President Barack Obama “shot” him during the Democratic National Convention.
“Did you see Barack Hussein Obama taking little pictures last night? I shot your president. And Michelle. They always say, ‘Sir, please stick to the policy, don’t get personal.’ Should I still obey the policy?”
The 78-year-old New York mogul suffered an ear injury on July 13 after a young man shot him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The gunman was on the roof of a building outside the political event and killed one member of the public and wounded two others before being killed by law enforcement.
Over the next few days, Trump and his team will visit four key states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Arizona, where they will focus on issues that are critical to conservatives ahead of the November 5 presidential election, such as immigration, security and the economy.
Harris currently leads in voter intentions with 46.6 percent, 2.9 points ahead of Trump, according to a polling average conducted by the FiveThirtyEight website. (EFE and Reuters)
