The Republican candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, has promised this Monday from the state of Pennsylvania to “rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered” in a speech that is already habitual for him against migrants, whom he accuses of making the United States an “occupied country.”
The former president has given a rally in this disputed state in which he has accused all migrants – with and without documentation – of perpetrating “military invasions without uniforms” in the country. “That’s all it is,” he declared, reiterating his promise to order a mass deportation if he wins this Tuesday.
During his speech, one of four scheduled before closing his third race for the US Presidency, Trump described a country in decline, “occupied” by the migrant population, assuring that he would “attack” the “gangs” and asking, as he has done in other events, for the death penalty for “any immigrant who kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer.”
On the other hand, the tycoon has regretted the time it takes to know the results, asking that voting be done in a single day and on paper, instead of using electronic voting machines.
Along these lines, Trump has questioned the transparency of the elections. “I think it’s too big to rig. They will try. And they are trying, but it’s too big to rig. This is a great movement. We did great in 2016, we did much better in 2020, but a lot of bad things happened,” he said.
The Republican has suggested that the states play a role in the election results, since “they do the collecting, so to speak, and they have to take orders from the federal government.” Therefore, he has hinted that they “fix” the system: “We cannot allow this to happen. We have to win the old-fashioned way and fix it.”
In another order of things, Trump has assured that he will impose strong tariffs on sectors such as Mexican automobiles and manufactured steel, with the aim of rejuvenating the American manufacturing industry, promising to end inflation and also blaming the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, for “four years of economic hell for American workers.”
“If Kamala Harris gets four more years, our economy will never be able to recover. If I win, we will quickly build the greatest economy in the history of the world,” he said.
American citizens are called to the polls this Tuesday to determine the political future of the country for the next four years. The vice president hopes to extend the Democratic government against a Donald Trump who seeks to make history by returning to the White House four years later, in a context in which the polls do not take for granted the victory of either candidate.
