On Tuesday, President Donald Trump made a campaign stop in Waukesha, Wisconsin – speaking in front of packed house at the Waukesha County Expo Center as thousands waited in line – some since 3:00 in the morning, to hear the 45th President of the United States, who leads President Joe Biden in nearly every national poll.
President Trump was energetic and entertaining – even bringing Uncle Sam on stage and signing his hat – asking the crowd for a pen. When the pen hit one of the teleprompters, Trump bent down to pick it up from the ground, joking, “Think Biden can bend down like that?”
When a heckler interrupted his speech, the crowd began chanting “USA! USA! USA!” And as the man was being led away by security, President Trump told him, “Go home to mom. Say hello to mother. She’s going to be angry. She’s watching on television saying ‘that’s my son.’”
President Trump even showcased a new phrase – the “Biden Inflation Tax” – saying he thought of it on his way to the rally, saying, “We have a new tax, it’s called an inflation tax. I’m calling it the ‘Biden Inflation Tax.’ Prices are draining Wisconsin families.” Trump then highlighted the high cost of living under Biden: “chicken is up 20 percent and eggs are up 59 percent.” Trump then promised to replace “Bidenomics” with “Maganomics,” as the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.
High crime in major cities remains a hot topic for the former president on the campaign trail – remarking that it “takes a half hour to get toothpaste because it’s locked up.” Stores in cities across the country are having to lock up merchandise on the shelves because of theft and burglaries.
Trump also talked about the migrant crisis, and reiterated his frustration that Democrats are giving “luxury hotel rooms for illegals” while our “veterans are on the streets and in need of health care.”
Biden’s open borders policies – as Trump pointed out, is placing U.S. citizens in danger. “Biden is determined to create the conditions for an October 7th attack” here at home Trump warned, as Biden considers welcoming thousands from Gaza into the U.S. as refugees.
Under Trump’s presidency, no one would argue that America was safer, we didn’t have wars, ISIS was defeated, the border was secure and the economy was thriving – “but now we have chaos, mayhem and death,” as Trump pointed out.
Trump continues to lead Biden in national polls and in key swing states as Democrats scramble to contain the damage of the Biden presidency. After the rally in Wisconsin, Trump heads to Michigan for another rally.
