Highlights from Trump’s dual rallies in Wisconsin and Michigan

Former President Donald Trump made headlines once again as he took to the campaign trail in Wisconsin and Michigan amidst his ongoing hush money trial in New York. Despite facing charges related to concealing payments to Stormy Daniels, Trump addressed rally crowds in key battleground states, criticizing the trial as a “fake trial” aimed at undermining his candidacy.

During his speeches, Trump made several controversial statements, including admitting to ordering his Secret Service detail to take him to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. He also claimed that President Joe Biden is creating conditions for an attack on the US and suggested that the public is thrilled about the overturning of Roe vs Wade.

Trump further questioned the accuracy of the impressive job numbers released by the US government, despite offering no evidence to support his claim. He also denied ever meeting E Jean Carroll, the columnist he was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming.

In a series of inflammatory remarks, Trump blamed London and Paris for opening their doors to jihad and insinuated that victims of terror attacks were at fault. He also revisited a controversial anecdote about a Nato country’s defense spending commitments, causing international backlash.

Despite his attempts to rally support, Trump faced criticism for mispronunciations and gaffes during his speeches, raising questions about his readiness for a potential return to the White House. As the November election approaches, Trump’s divisive rhetoric continues to polarize voters and fuel speculation about his political future.
