Somebody said, \u2018You should be nice sir, women won\u2019t like it,\u2019\u201d Trump said, adding: \u201cThe women want safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He then described an apocalyptic America if he loses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cKamala will deliver a 1929-style depression,\u201d Trump said, resurrecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/apocalypse-delayed-trump-promising-doom-never-comes-rcna170151\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a claim he made<\/a> about Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election that didn\u2019t materialize. He promised \u201cthe four greatest years in the history of our country\u201d if he wins in November.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Speaking for more than an hour, Trump made the remarks at his first of two rallies Wednesday in battleground Pennsylvania, which both campaigns have zeroed in on as pivotal to winning the Electoral College. On Thursday, Harris is dispatching former President Barack Obama to Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">During a riff on energy policy Wednesday, Trump said, &#8220;Wind is bull&#8212;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cKamala will crush the electricity grid of the United States. But we will not let her do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump used a big screen to play clips of Harris endorsing a Green New Deal and opposing fracking, an ecologically controversial way to extract natural gas and oil, when she was a presidential candidate in 2019, which added to the boos and shouts from the crowd. Harris has since abandoned those positions, including by rescinding her opposition to fracking as the vice presidential nominee in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">While the economy was the ostensible theme of the rally, Trump went on an array of tangents. He complained about polls that show him trailing Harris \u2014 calling them \u201cfake\u201d and insisting he\u2019s ahead \u2014 and claimed without evidence that Democrats plan to \u201ccheat like hell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump accused Harris of waging a \u201ccoup\u201d to push Biden out of the race, musing that he thinks Biden now \u201chates her almost as much as he hates me.\u201d He predicted there would be \u201can explosion\u201d between Biden and Harris before Election Day on Nov. 5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He went on a riff about billionaire ally Elon Musk\u2019s \u201cdoing jumping jacks\u201d at a recent rally with him in Butler, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump lamented that special counsel Robert Hur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/joe-biden\/special-counsel-says-evidence-biden-willfully-retained-disclosed-class-rcna96666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">didn\u2019t prosecute Biden<\/a> for improper handling of classified documents, and the crowd fed off his anger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWe want Hunter!\u201d shouted a supporter, referring to the president&#8217;s legally embattled son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cTraitor!\u201d another yelled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump said he would \u201cpay off debt,\u201d even though he\u2019s promising trillions of dollars in new deficits through tax breaks and government expenditures. He falsely claimed that he signed \u201cthe biggest tax cut in history\u201d as president while vowing to extend his 2017 tax cuts and further lower taxes on tips, overtime pay and Social Security income.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump spoke of an \u201cenemy from within\u201d as \u201ca very sick group of people\u201d who investigated ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia. During that section he attacked Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., an outspoken critic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cLock him up!\u201d a man in the crowd interrupted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ahead of Trump\u2019s speech, Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa\u00a0said in a statement that Trump was \u201cprojecting weakness, not strength,\u201d by sticking to safe environments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAmericans are starting to have real questions about Donald Trump\u2019s capacity. He is cocooned in his safe spaces in right wing media, he backed out of 60 Minutes, and he refuses to stand before the American people in another debate,\u201d Moussa said. \u201cHe should say whether it\u2019s because he\u2019s scared or because he just can\u2019t hack it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump told the crowd that he has booked Madison Square Garden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/trump-rallies-solidly-democratic-states-unorthodox-strategy-rcna174674\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for a rally in New York<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/trump-rallies-solidly-democratic-states-unorthodox-strategy-rcna174674\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> City <\/a>and that he\u2019s \u201cmaking a play\u201d to win the blue-leaning states of New Jersey, Virginia, New Mexico and Minnesota. He lost those five states in 2016 and 2020, and there\u2019s scant indication that he could win them this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Pennsylvania, however, could be the tipping point state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Debbie Hendrix, a Scranton native who attended Trump\u2019s rally wearing a \u201cMAGA\u201d hat, said she\u2019s cautiously optimistic but unsure Trump will win the state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">\u201cI feel pretty good about it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a jury going out; you never know how it\u2019s going to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/trump-ramps-personal-attacks-kamala-harris-scranton-rally-rcna174292\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SCRANTON, Pa. \u2014 Donald Trump rallied a raucous crowd here Wednesday as he seeks to halt Kamala Harris\u2019 gains in the polls on handling the economy, launching a wave of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=112436\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112436\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
