United States – Donald Trump stated on Saturday, he said, he will consider the results of November’s presidential election to be the final resting place of American democracy.
The Republican presidential nominee, when speaking to his base in Ohio, made this claim after reiterating his unsubstantiated allegations about whether he won in 2020 or not due to massive voter fraud, as reported by Reuters.
The outdoor speech, which was given in strong winds and with wild language, prophesied that if Trump loses the December 5 general election, American democracy will come to an end.
“Although we lost the election, I do not know that you will have another election in this country anymore,” Trump said.
Legal Troubles and Republican Nomination
Trump, who is under indictment in Georgia for trying to change the result of the 2020 election in Georgia, is the mathematical nominee for the Republican party this week by winning enough delegates.
In a presidential general election rematch, the chances are that it will be a very narrow contest. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll provides a tie for two candidates with registered voters.
Trump began his Dayton speech by praising the ‘Warriors for America’ who are presently serving time for rioting during the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack when they attempted to interrupt the certification by Congress of Biden’s 2020 election win.
Trump saluted and rendered them as “patriots” and “hostages.”
In fact, the latest campaign speeches by the second ex-president of the Republicans have been getting more and more grim regarding the current state of the country.
In the middle of a section in his speech about placing tariffs on imported cars and foreign competition for the U.S. auto industry, Trump declared: “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole country.”
Grim Rhetoric and Controversial Statements
Trump’s campaign reached for the Twitter post by the New York Times journalist with the handle X, pointing at the “bloodbath” reference that was discussed in a conversation about the American auto industry and the economy.
James Singer, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, denounced Trump’s “extremism,” “his thirst for vengeance,” and his “threats of political violence” when he was questioned about his remarks about a “bloodbath.”
Appeal to Minority Voters
Trump expanded his bid to Blacks and Hispanics, voters who are now playing a crucial role in deciding Election 2020.
Trump has been steadily gaining ground with opinion polls as non-whites formed a base support for Biden when he presided over Trump in the 2020 election race.
Trump echoed the theme around illegal immigration crossing over the US-Mexico border, which started ever since Biden took office, as he was campaigning and trying to keep minority voters on his side, as reported by Reuters.
“No one has been hurt by Joe Biden’s migrant invasion more than our great African American and Hispanic communities,” Trump said. He claimed without citing any evidence that illegal immigrants were taking their jobs.
