I don’t think so,” Donald said, referring to himself. “This is the problem with most of the media today. Instead of actually talking about the facts and the substance, they’re busy scaring everything. Last night’s rally was a great rally. Donald Trump obviously didn’t speak last night. But did he say something out of line? No, he didn’t. I said something out of line. Eric. Trump, Lara Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick, did they say anything off-topic? No, they didn’t.

Attending these rallies Everyone in the Democratic Party calls him Adolf Hitler. You have. [former Democratic nominee] Hillary Clinton is running around selling her book, which frankly no one wants to buy, and talking about how this is like 1939. Are you crazy? If you want to talk about rhetoric, compare. But please let me go back. We’re talking about comedians’ comments, and after 48 hours, everyone forgets. “The real joke in America is Kamala Harris’ terrible policies,” Donald said, adding that Puerto Ricans are struggling under Harris.

Donald said voters need to decide whether to believe the media who accused Harris of being “in the tank” or live with a continuation of the vice president’s policies.
