He began by commenting on the “large crowd” and lamenting that the “pretend information” refused to show the cameras round and present it as a result of “no one would consider it.” (Trump has been saying this for years, although the media usually reveals the dimensions of his rally crowds.) Then Trump mocked Joe Biden, claiming solely “93 individuals” confirmed as much as one among his current occasions.
Trump promised to deport thousands and thousands of undocumented immigrants, who he falsely claims are largely from psychological establishments and prisons. “We’ve acquired to convey our nation again to well being, as a result of our nation goes to hell, when you haven’t observed,” he mentioned. “Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of persons are pouring in from prisons and from psychological establishments.

“We did fantastically in 2016,” he mentioned. “We did significantly better in 2020 and it was rigged, it was a rigged deal.”
Subsequent Trump shouted out Republican Senate nominee David McCormick, who was within the crowd. He mentioned his Democratic opponent, Senator Bob Casey, is “an actual stiff” who “votes for Biden or whoever occurs to be furthest left.”
Trump accused Biden of not understanding the which means of “Make America Nice Once more,” joking that he’d be “at some stunning place with a beautiful ocean” if Biden “was doing the job.”
Lastly, Trump pivoted again to claiming that “harmful individuals,” “criminals,” and “drug sellers” are flooding into the nation and had his staff convey up a chart on unlawful border crossings throughout his administration (which was not seen on the C-SPAN feed). Trump was discussing the chart when the primary pictures rang out. “And you already know, that’s a little bit bit previous, that chart,” he mentioned. “That chart’s a few months previous. If wish to actually see one thing that’s unhappy, check out what occurred …”
Then Trump grabbed his ear and crouched down as he was hit.
