TRANSCRIPT:

Trump’s Michigan Rally: A Call to Action

Thank you very much. Hello, Michigan. I love to be in Michigan. We’re going to bring so many car manufacturing plants. That’s what we’re going to bring. But I see a lot of farms outside today. And there’s never been anybody better to the farmer than Trump, that I can tell you.

It’s great to be back in this beautiful state with thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots, which is exactly what you are. Early mail-in voting is underway now in Michigan. So if you want, go out and get that ballot returned as soon as possible. And if not, get a ballot. Just go and vote. You got to vote. We got to win this election.

Our country is being destroyed by this lunatic. And while you’re at it, get as many other Trump supporters as you can, and they’ll do the same. 33 days from now, we are going to win the state of Michigan. We are going to defeat Lyon Kamala Harris, one of the worst candidates ever.

Criticizing the Opposition

Never had a candidate like that. And how about the vice president? That’s going to be president someday? I don’t think so. I don’t think so. Did you see the debate? I don’t think that’s going to be president. He called himself knucklehead. We don’t want a knucklehead as a president.

And we’re going to make America great again. And I’m asking every citizen all across our land to join me in launching a new golden age for America. As catastrophic as Kamala Harris. You know, I never used the name Harris. Nobody knows what the hell I’m talking about. I say, you know, Harris is doing a lousy job. Who’s Harris? So we usually just say Lyon Kamala. It’s much better, more accurate.

Trump’s Vision for America

But as bad as Kamala’s failures have been, we have a plan to fix it, and we’re going to fix it very fast. It’s going to go very quickly. Can you imagine what she’s doing to our country on the borders? Can you imagine with everything else is bad? Can you imagine what they’re doing? Why? Why are they doing it? They’re killing our country.

We can soon have soaring income, skyrocketing wealth, millions and millions of new jobs and a booming middle class. You know, we had the best four-year period of any president in history. And that’s despite the China virus coming. Despite the China virus.

Instead of a manufacturing recession, we can have a manufacturing renaissance, which is what we want, especially here. We can live in cities and towns that are safe and clean and borders that are sealed and secure. Wouldn’t that be nice? And America can once again be strong and confident and free.

Criticizing Immigration Policies

I mean, how would you like to live like they’re living where thousands and thousands of criminals are put into your town or your city? And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, your whole life changes. Your whole life changes. You see what’s happened with Springfield and Aurora. You see what happens. Springfield, Ohio. You see what’s happening. Would you like to have that happen to you? Good. I was just curious.

Who the hell can do that? Who can do it? They inject 32,000 people from a foreign land, a foreign land that has lots of problems. But they inject 30 and you’re 50,000 people. And now you have in a like month you have you’ve almost doubled the size. And it’s a disaster what’s going on in Aurora.

We have Venezuela and street gangs that went into the same business as me, but they take their real estate with guns. I had to go borrow money from banks. They’re in the real estate business. They go into the governor there in Colorado, Aurora, Colorado. The governor is petrified. He doesn’t know what to do. He’s never seen anything like it. Actually, nobody has seen anything like it when you get right down to it.

A Call for National Revival

But we can be a nation that dreams big again. We can be a nation that builds things again. We can reclaim our pride, our dignity, our glorious American destiny. But only if we make a clean break from the failures of the past four years. They’ve been the worst four years.

When you add everything up, the inflation, the lack of respect, the Afghanistan disaster, which was the most embarrassing period of time in our history where we were just humiliated. And you add it all up and all we’re going to do is a very simple thing. We’re going to make our country so incredible and so fast.

You only have one thing to do on November 5th. We’re going to vote for a person named Donald J. Trump. Have you ever heard of him? Nice guy.

Warning Against Another Term for the Opposition

But if Lyon Kamala gets in, if she gets. Can you imagine another four years like we’ve lived the last four? Think of it, people are dying in North Carolina. They’re dying all over those five, six states. They’re dying and they’re getting no help from our federal government because they have no money, because their money’s been spent on people that should not be in our country.

If Lyon Kamala gets four more years instead of a golden age, America will instead be plunged into a dark age. Your family finances will be permanently destroyed. Your borders will be gone forever. They already are when you think of it, right? We don’t have any borders. You’re a border state now. Welcome. Congratulations.

Tens of millions more illegal aliens will invade our cities and towns. Medicare and Social Security will buckle and collapse from the weight of all of these people becoming proud members of our Social Security system.
