US President Donald Trump tried to steal the spotlight from his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, who tonight will accept his party’s nomination to the White House, with a rally in the key state of Pennsylvania, where he promised “lots of police.” , “law and order; and he assured that he is doing a” great job “containing the covid-19 pandemic.
“We are going to win, but by a lot” in the November elections, Trump assured about 300 people, almost all white, outside a building materials company on the outskirts of Scranton, a city in the manufacturing center. from Pennsylvania, a state that if you don’t win in November could cost you the White House.
Trump said the polls lie and that if the Democrats win they can only do so “with a rigged election.”
“I really believe it,” he said.
Scranton, Biden’s birthplace
Trump won in 2016 by less than 1% in this state, and the polls give a wide advantage of almost 5 points to Biden, who was born in Scranton, something that the president did not overlook at his rally, focused on attacking his rival. and the Democratic proposals.
“Biden was born in Scranton and he will say that he is from here. It has been 68 years since he left and abandoned them. Biden left Pennsylvania,” said the president.
“Biden is going to put an end to our unprecedented recovery,” said Trump, who underestimated the importance of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic in the US, which under the Republican administration has seen an increase in cases for the second time. since spring and whose labor market continues to show no signs of recovery.
“(The Democrats) are going to carry out a socialist takeover of our economy,” added Trump, who instigated fear among the white middle class if the Democrats come to power, as, according to him, it will “open the borders.” it will abolish the police, “” it will increase the number of refugees in our country “and” will carry out the largest tax increase in history. “
Obama and Biden left America weak, according to Trump
Trump indicated that the policies of his predecessor, Barack Obama, and of Biden, who was vice president of the former president, left the United States “weak, without respect and in danger.”
Trump made these claims in front of a large sign that read “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!”
The president has returned to campaign rallies, although with smaller crowds, with the start of the Democratic National Convention, which ends this Thursday, and a few days after the Republicans stage the coronation of Trump as the conservative candidate for reelection.
Trump outlined what will be his strategy until the November elections: alarm the voter who mobilized to support him in 2016 by waving the specter of taxes and less freedom of belief and to bear arms that a Democratic president could bring.
“If Biden is elected our security will vanish. Drug cartels and illegal ones will come from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador,” said Trump, who promised to build hundreds of miles of wall on the border with Mexico, although he recalled that the president Mexican Andrés López Obrador has done a good job and gets along well with him.
Defending your management of the pandemic
On the other hand, Trump indicated that the United States has been the country that has best managed the covid-19 pandemic, despite the fact that it has left more than 173,000 dead, and added that it is “in the final moments of the pandemic.”
“Biden will put an end to this unprecedented recovery,” said Trump, who built on pre-pandemic growth and called the current crisis a simple pothole from which the US will emerge in his second term.
Trump will need to mobilize the white, middle-class and working-class vote that allowed him to win key states in 2016, despite the fact that his management of the coronavirus could weigh him down in that segment that has its greatest stronghold in Pennsylvania, Florida and the Midwest states.
“They are coming for you (the Democrats). If you win, it will be absolute madness and the destruction of the greatest country in the history of the world,” said Trump, who had crowds chanting him upon his arrival, something that contrasts with the Democratic convention, carried out completely remotely and with the absence of applause and ovations for the pandemic.
