Trump describes US as an occupied country in dark closing message focused on immigration

Former President Donald Trump painted a grim picture of the United States as an “occupied country” during his election eve rally in Pennsylvania. He pledged to “rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered.”
Trump’s rhetoric focused heavily on immigration, with a particular emphasis on undocumented and legal migrants. He described the situation as military invasions without uniforms and vowed to launch a massive deportation effort.
Trump’s anti-immigration stance resonated throughout his campaign, mirroring his initial White House bid. He reiterated his commitment to crack down on migrant crime and promised to target migrant gangs, ban sanctuary cities, and seek the death penalty for any migrant that kills a US citizen.
Additionally, Trump proposed imposing steep tariffs on automotive products from Mexico and steel from China to rejuvenate US manufacturing. However, economists have warned that such tariffs could lead to increased inflation as businesses pass on the added costs to consumers.
Trump also criticized the length of time it takes for votes to be counted and called for single-day voting on paper ballots. This stance contradicted his previous support for early voting and raised concerns about the electoral process.
Trump’s closing message in Pittsburgh highlighted his focus on immigration, manufacturing, and electoral integrity. The rally, part of a series of campaign stops in key battleground states, underscored the importance of Pennsylvania’s electoral votes in the upcoming election.
Vice President Kamala Harris also concluded her campaign with a strong push in Pennsylvania, emphasizing the state’s crucial role in the electoral college. Both candidates recognize the significance of battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina in securing victory in the election.
