Breitbart summary of Trump’s Ohio rally today. I’m not including a full transcript - just a couple of interesting snippets. The first few are about coronavirus. Trump referred to CV as a “hoax” during the rally, but Breitbart omit this important fact.
7:35 PM: Trump says the Democrats’ open-borders policies threaten the health and well-being of all Americans.
7:23 PM: Trump says he created a White House virus task force. He says it is a “big thing.” He says he wanted $2.5 million but Democrats wanted $8.5 million. Trump says we must understand that “border security is also health security.” He says the wall has “gone up like magic.”
7:22 PM: Trump, having some problems pronouncing words tonight, says the Democrats’ single talking point is that it’s Trump’s fault even though he bought America critical time with his travel restrictions that Democrats criticized.
7:21 PM: Trump says the US is prepared for the worst but hopefully it will amount to very little. Trump says he ordered the suspension of foreign nationals who have recently been in China from entering the United States.
7:16 PM: Trump says he just learned that around 35,000 people a year die from the flu. He again says he had no clue about that number. He says the US has lost “nobody” yet to coronavirus but it doesn’t mean we won’t. He says the press is in “hysteria mode.” Trump says Democrats are “willing to hurt the country” to take down Trump.
The quote below is why Trump still has support. He makes people genuinely believe he cares for them; he creates enemies where there were none; he conflates issues and threatens mental wellbeing daily.
8:00 PM: Trump says every Democrat running for president supports free federal welfare for illegal aliens and want to treat them “better than they want to treat our military and our veterans.” Trump says illegal immigrants drain our treasury and threaten lives.
