Trump took center stage in Ohio and tentatively announced that his re-election campaign would begin on November 15. This is a great pre-emptive strike against politicized prosecutors.
Democrats are “persecuting their political opponents and silencing dissent,” Trump told a gigantic crowd in Ohio. “Six straight years of witch hunts, fraud and abuse” against him, as “they follow me because I fight for you”, Trump added.
“Complete and total corruption in our Department of Justice and the rule of law. Transforming our country into a police stateTrump spoke about the persecution of him and his supporters by Democrats.
Truth in voting founder Catherine Engelbrecht spent the last week in prison following her efforts to restore election integrity. Attacked for violating the law and an ex parte order issued without an initial opportunity to object, it was locked up for protecting a source from retaliation.
On Monday evening in Ohio, Trump admired Engelbrecht, outraged by her imprisonment. On Sunday, the Fifth Circuit Court released her in a unanimous emergency writ.
Ted Cruz warns Justice Department against trying to prosecute Trump. “If Biden treats the Department of Justice like partisan stormtroopers, then Congress has the authority to employ every tool Congress has to stop this abuse of power, including defunding itCruz told The Hill.
The Democrats’ weaponized accusations are there a form of voter suppression much worse than anything they accuse Republicans of. Threatening to impeach political candidates like Trump interferes with citizens’ right to choose their preferred candidate.
In a shocking move, the Supreme Court allows a runaway district attorney to question Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) under oath before an unprecedented grand jury in Atlanta. Apparently the justices don’t recognize that the politicized crackdown on liberals is a form of voter suppression, which Democrats claim to oppose.
Trump noted Monday that Atlanta has one of the highest murder rates per capita in the country, but Democrats spend their time politically persecuting him. in Florida, “Mar-a-Lago raid on forgery documents” it has never happened to any other president.
Dems suggested that Trump may have had the nuclear codes in dusty boxes of documents taken by a group of federal agents who raided his residence. Trump, the president who pulled us out of wars and made the world a safer place, allegedly hid nuclear codes from his time in office, although for security reasons the codes have changed many times since he left.
“Maybe our country would be in a better situation if we actually had nuclear codes,” Trump joked, because then our enemies would actually be afraid of us. Instead, Biden has put us in a place where “another” nuclear war could end in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which would never have happened if Trump were president.
“The damage Joe Biden has done to our nation in two short years” is greater than the five worst presidents in American history, Trump said. “Remember when Biden came here [to Ohio] and you said it was great to be with the people of Michigan?”
A horrified Trump said that abroad “we are dealing with people who are at the absolute top of their game” who possess nuclear weapons. Biden has made this period “the most dangerous time in the history of our country.”
Meanwhile, Biden and the Democrats interfered with crucial local police work, thus unleashing drug crime across the country. “We all agree: we must stop crime.”
“Let our police do their job,” Trump said. “We should deport every illegal alien that Joe Biden illegally allowed to break into our country– he added.
“Drug cartel revenues have skyrocketed” under the Biden administration, Trump noted. “Democrats will oppose defunding the police; Republicans will oppose cartels.”
Trump “kicked thousands of illegal gang members out of our country” Referring to the Central American countries where these gangs come from, Trump “urged their countries to accept them” after they initially refused.
Trump said that members of the Massachusetts MS-13 gang “lured a teenage boy to a playground” by pretending to be friends with him, and then stabbed the defenseless boy 32 times. An immigration judge released one of the gang members to the United States and even helped him obtain a green card to stay here.
A drug dealer “will kill, on average, 500 people,” Trump noted. “The crime wave is caused by drug dealers” and Trump called for the death penalty to stop and deter these heinous crimes at a time when “drugs are flowing into the country.”
“We will end catch and release” and “end illegal immigration once and for all.” And “we will lift all Covid-related orders and lockdowns.”
“The best president we’ve ever had, President Trump,” Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan declared as Trump graciously called him to the podium, later concluding with a plea for support for the dozens of Republicans he supports.
