Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump has been making a whirlwind tour of battleground states recently, and that meant that, on Saturday night, Nov. 2, throngs of Trump fans got to see him in person in Greensboro yet again – as the former president tried to make sure he finishes strong in the state that’s become almost as important as Pennsylvania in the 2024 presidential election.
And Trump’s elated and enthusiastic fans weren’t disappointed: They cheered loudly at his applause lines, laughed at his jokes, called out “We love you!” at times, and booed whenever he said the name, Kamala Harris.
If Trump can deliver on all the things he promised the crowd in Greensboro Saturday, then, if he’s elected, four years from now the United States will be a complete and utter utopia: very safe with low prices, with high employment and a low crime rate – not to mention that the country will be virtually free of illegal immigrants and free of involvement in wars around the world.
“We’ll build a missile defense shield,” Trump said at one point, “all made in the USA. We will rebuild our cities including our capital in Washington DC – making them safe and clean and beautiful again. Our capital is a mess. People go to the capital and they end up getting shot and killed. We’re going to clean up our capital. We’re going to take it back from these people that run it so badly, so horribly.”
As for education, Trump pledged that he’ll see to it that schools start teaching children to love our country once again and honor its history.
Kids in the future, he said, will learn to always respect our “great American flag.”
He also promised to reverse many liberal trends taking hold today.
“Critical race theory and transgender insanity will get the hell out of our schools and we will keep men, of course, out of women’s sports,” he said. “And we will defend religious liberty and free speech and I will defend the right to keep and bear arms.”
At the Greensboro rally, Trump also did some campaigning for Republicans in other races in North Carolina, though he notably didn’t mention Republican Gubernatorial Nominee Mark Robinson.
Trump hasn’t mentioned Robinson’s name during his rallies since CNN broke a highly negative story about the gubernatorial hopeful from Greensboro..
After that story hit, Trump stopped inviting Robinson to rallies and stopped saying his name. The former president also did not mention Robinson at another event in the state earlier that day. (When Trump has been asked about the situation, he’s consistently said that he doesn’t really know much about the allegations.)
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was at the rally and Trump pointed to her and thanked her for being there.
“She is great, a fantastic woman, a fantastic friend,” he said.
The president of course, also had a few choice words for his opponents as well as his other critics.
“Here are the facts on Kamala,” he told the crowd. “She’s a radical-left Marxist, rated even worse than crazy Bernie Sanders and Pocahontas herself—Pocahontas, you know, Elizabeth Warren. Remember? Somebody said, ‘You don’t look like an Indian.’ She said, ‘I am an Indian. My mother told me I had high cheekbones.’ Okay? I think it’s actually racist. I think that’s actually racist if you want to really get technical. She was being racist when she said that she has high cheekbones. And then I drove her crazy, and everyone was calling her Pocahontas, and she actually went out for her blood test… and she was so happy because they said thousands of years ago it may have happened. No, she’s terrible.”
He said “Lyin’ Kamala” never worked at McDonald’s as she’s claimed.
Trump also said Harris had lied to voters about a lot of other things as well.
“So, the fake news went to McDonald’s, and they said, ‘No, she never worked here.’ They don’t want to report it. I bring it up as much as I do because, you know, why? It’s so simple. She’s a liar, a real liar. She’s not a good liar, but she’s a significant liar.”
One former McDonald’s franchise owner told the Rhino Times it would be easy for Harris to prove if she worked at McDonald’s because there would have been an IRS W-2 form noting that fact. (The Rhino Times does not know how long the IRS keeps those records.)
Trump also made it clear that he’s no fan of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
“I remember when somebody—because you’re not allowed to use the word ‘fat,’” he said. “If you use the word ‘fat,’ it’s the end of your political career. So I was in New Hampshire, which by the way I’m leading in, and a man stood up in front and I admonished him, and he said, ‘Chris Christie is a fat pig.’ And I said, ‘And you can’t use the word ‘fat.’ And I said, ‘Sir, please sit down. Chris Christie is not a fat pig.’ ‘Yes, he is, Sir.’ [came the response.] I said, ‘He’s not a fat pig.’ So, the press couldn’t write about it, because I was—you know, there was nothing to write. I was helping Chris Christie, and he is not a fat pig. I think—do you agree with that, Pam? …Don’t say it!”
That drew a good laugh from the crowd.
As for Harris, Trump said that she “destroyed our economy” and she was, he added, “an original creator of the defund-the-police movement,”
“Anybody who wants to defund our great police for even one day, or one week, is not worthy of being the president of the United States,” he said.
He also said Harris is not worthy of the office for a lot of other reasons as well. At the Greensboro rally, Trump that Harris has “pledged to confiscate your guns, and endorse a total ban on handgun ownership.”
Trump made that claim during the one and only presidential debate as well – and Harris responded by noting that she – like her running mate Tim Walz, who’s an avid hunter – is a gun owner.
We’re not taking anyone’s guns away,” she said during the debate last month, “so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”
A week later while appearing with Oprah Winfrey, Harris doubled down on that claim, saying “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.”
In Greensboro, Trump also focused on the same subject of the political ads his campaign has been running everywhere, ones on sex change operations in prisons. The campaign has spent more than $20 million dollars on this one ad alone.
“She even called for free sex changes for illegal aliens in detention,” he said.
He joked that, of course, none of the taxpayers in the audience in Greensboro minded paying the bills for those operations.
“But with your vote this November, we are going to fire Kamala, and we are going to save America,” Trump said. “And we’re going to save America, right? We will cut your taxes and inflation… I’m gonna—we’re gonna – do things that you’ve never seen before. We are going to cut your prices right down to the bottom. You know what’s gonna do it? Energy. Energy, you know—energy brought it up and energy is going to—it’s going to bring it down. And we have so much energy. We have so much energy.”
Trump even referenced the High Point furniture industry.
“I will raise your wages, and bring thousands and thousands of factories back to America – including back to North Carolina, “he said. “And you know we’re going to bring them back here, because you know I used to come here a lot for your furniture. They had the best furniture in the world; there’s never been a replacement for your furniture business. And I used to come; I was building hotels—a lot of hotels.”
Trump said at the rally that, while Harris will unquestionably destroy the country, his leadership, the mass deportation effort and the implementation of tariffs will bring about a renaissance in America and its economy.
At the end of the rally, Trump exited after doing his now famous double-fisted dance to the Village People’s song YMCA.
If you haven’t already voted, PLEASE get put to the polls tomorrow and vote to preserve the America we love.
I did when I voted for Harris.
I was there, and at 67, this will be my last vote. Whether you love DJT, or hate him, there will never be another time like this, such a pivotal moment, in the life of this country. He cannot run again, and though he represents the “GOP”, it is truly a “uniparty” now. I have no children, no grandchildren, so no skin in the game, but there will be a time, in the not too distant future, when it will become obvious, what we gave up, and there will be no going back.
Exactly why a vote or Harris is the right move at this pivotal point in time.
As an individual who grew up in a country that was once free, but is now a de facto totalitarian state, you are absolutely correct, CM.
Britons have absent mindedly surrendered their liberties one by one over decades, and now find that it impossible to redeem them, or even protest their passing without falling foul of the law. Even your private thoughts can now be a basis for arrest and imprisonment.
I see America slowly inching down the same road, at least when the Leftists of both parties hold power.
Donald Trump is our chance to choose a path of liberty, internal and overseas peace, prosperity, and yes, unity. The unity that comes from quiet prosperity and domestic tranquility.
Four more years of Leftism will structurally alter the US so much that it will be irredeemable.
This really is a crucial election.
Headline should be “Trump closes campaign with same old lies and misinformation”. At least he didn’t give his mic a BJ in Greensboro. Weird.
You’re 67 and this is your last vote? Don’t give up; you sound like you have a good bit of mileage left and you can impact others even if they’re not family. I’m quite sure you’ve made a mark somewhere and can continue to do so in future.
Chris, why all the negative vines?
Because Dan, chris has that Bonaparte- hitler complex Everything he has in his life is too short
You crack me up, Rebel !
His Rambling and same old lies is hardly finishing strong. I’m tired of the media sane washing his incoherent and insane word salad. I think we’ve had enough of his anger and rhetoric. Sick if his dangerous threats and revenge talk. Let’s vote and move on from this sociopath.
Trump has a family who loves him. Biden has a druggie creep pervert son who’s corrupt. Harris has a husband who impregnates his child’s nanny. And Harris invented the term “word salad”.
You’re backing the wrong horse, buddy. Or should I say donkey?
Al Hare you’re polite I’m not, just call him a jackass
Last time I checked…Biden nor his son are running. Last time I checked Trump cheated on his wife with a porn actress while his wife was pregnant. And convicted of 34 counts by a jury to cover it up. I’m also tired of what about ism that has nothing to do with anything or anything that would impact your personal life. Women and men that love them are going to step up today. And I’m one of those women and my husband is one of those men.
You should check all the lies Stormy Daniels has said about it. Denied it happened. Denied she got paid. Then said it did. Then denied she signed a statement. Then her manager said she did sign the statement. You want to know more about Michael Cohen who lies about anything to save himself? A perjurist who regularly goes on mainstream media to rile up gullible people like you. Then do some research on this “conviction” and the judge presiding over it. You must like men participating in women’s sports. Is that how you and the hubby show your love for women? Or men being put in women’s prisons based on how they identify. Or paying for transgender surgery with taxpayer money. Or putting vulnerable women in danger by not vetting illegals. Or killing Americans with fentanyl overdoses. Or do you just blame Trump for everything because CNN tells you to?
Trumps family loves him? Where is his family this go round? Hmmmm….not by his side. Lol
Chris, that remark alone shows your ignorance!
We all need to be afraid. Really afraid. We’ve never experienced in our lifetime what’s to come. Something’s all of us will regret
