TRANSCRIPT:

DONALD TRUMP: Thank you very much and hello Duluth, hello Duluth, and a very special hello to Georgia. And I’m hearing our numbers are very, very good. There’s a rumor, there’s a rumor out there. We’re doing well, thank you very much, and I’m thrilled to be back in this incredible state with thousands of proud, hard-working American patriots, which is what you are. And I’d like to begin by asking a very simple question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? That was a very unanimous question. The answer is no.

By any standard, the answer is no, and I’m here today with a message of hope for all Americans. With your vote in this election, I will end inflation, I will stop the invasion of criminals into our country, and I will bring back the American dream. I’m going to bring it back very quickly. Our country is being destroyed and crippled by Kamala Harris. A person that got no votes, no votes, therefore she’s a threat to democracy. But together we’re going to fix our nation, and we’re going to fix our nation fast.

Election Choice

With your support on November 5th, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before. This election is a choice between whether we will have four more years of incompetence, failure, and disaster, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country. After all the catastrophes she has caused, Kamala Harris can’t say one thing that you’d do differently. You saw that. What would you do differently? I can’t think of anything. This is the worst president in the history of our country, and the worst vice president in the history of our country. And wrong track just came out. Eighty-nine percent wrong track. I want to know, who are the 11 percent? Who are they? Where are they?

I’m asking you to be excited about the future of our country again. This will be America’s new golden age. And remember, every problem facing us can be solved, but now the fate of our nation is in your hands. In Georgia, you have to stand up and you have to tell Kamala Harris that, “Kamala, you’ve done a horrible job. You’re the worst ever. There’s never been anybody like you. You can’t put two sentences together. The world is laughing at us because of you and Crooked Joe. Kamala, you’re fired. Get out. Get out. Get out. You’re fired.”

Two days ago, I was in Western North Carolina, where I witnessed the terrible devastation of Hurricane Helene, and I was here in Georgia with your governor a few weeks ago. He’s doing a good job, by the way. Very good job. Thank you. To every family who has lost a loved one or home in that terrible storm, our hearts are with you and we are praying for you.

The polls, despite everything, the polls, do you see what’s happening here? Here, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, the polls are through the roof, but what’s better than that? The early voting is, people have never seen anything like it. They’ve never seen anything like it, because the American people are fed up with the people that are leading us down a road to disaster.

So the polls are open for early voting in Georgia every day from now till November 1st. You’ve got to get out there and vote, but most importantly, just vote, whichever way you want to do it. I’ve been one that says, whichever way, just get out and vote. Be a little careful. Make sure your vote gets counted. There are ways of doing that, too. With your help, 13 days from now, we’re going to win Georgia. We’re going to defeat Kamala Harris, and we are going to make America great again. Thank you. What a nice crowd this is. What a nice crowd.

Economy

If Kamala gets four more years, she will obliterate our economy, kill millions of jobs, and destroy your family finances forever. They’re destroying our country. They’re destroying our country. It’s not even possible that they can be doing what they’re doing to our country. They’re either really bad people. They don’t have a clue. Maybe they’re stupid people. But you know what? I’ll tell you. Or maybe they just want to get extra voters. Nobody really knows the answer.

But just from a common sense, you know, we are the party of common sense. And from a common sense standpoint, how can they be doing what they’re doing? Kamala’s inflation nightmare has already cost the typical family over $30,000 in higher prices, and now she wants to raise typical family taxes by nearly $3,000 a year. She has no idea. Did you see her today? She was asked kindergarten-type questions by MSDNC. She was unable to answer them. But the best is 60 Minutes. They changed her answer. Should I sue them? Should I sue?

Should we sue 60 Minutes and CBS? No, think of it. They asked her a question on 60 Minutes, which is news. You know, these companies have to get licensed. And in the licensing, it says they have — licensing says they have to be — they have to be honest. They gave her a question. She gave an answer that was from a loony bin. They said, “We can’t have that.” They took the answer out in its entirety, threw it away, and they put another answer in. And I think it’s the biggest scandal in broadcasting history. That’s what I think. Taxation interference fraud.

The tax queen — because that’s what she was called. She loves taxes. This is the only person I’ve ever seen she campaigns on, “We will raise your taxes.” All my life, I’ve watched politics, and everybody’s saying, “We will cut your taxes, cut your — ” she says she’s going to raise your taxes.
