Rally at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, on Wednesday, August 18th, 2024.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: “A key part of restoring safety and saving our economy is stopping the invasion at the border of our country. It’s crazy. Under border czar, Kamala Harris, she was the border czar until she started looking at this situation, until the coup, I say until the coup because it was a coup. But she was a border czar. Now she said I was never the border czar. You know what? Give her that. But she was in charge of the border and the border is the worst-run border in the history of the world. There’s never been a border like this. Twenty-one million people, illegal aliens, are coming in from all over the world, from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums.”
ISRAEL: “I will end the chaos in the Middle East. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to obliterate Israel. That’s what’s going to happen. Israel will not exist in two years. And by the way, we are closer to World War III right now than at any time during anybody’s life in this beautiful room. I will stand with Israel and we will return a thing called peace through strength. And we’re going to get it settled. We’re going to get it done.”
MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “We’ve got to get our media back in this country. We got to get them back. But the message is, it’s time to stop the lies, stop the hoaxes, stop the smears, stop the lawfare or the fake lawsuits against me, and stop claiming your opponents will turn America into a dictatorship. Give me a break. Because the fact is that I’m not a threat to democracy, they are.”
NYC CRIME: “Over the past three years, in New York City, there has been a 29% increase in robbery, a 36% increase in felony assault, a 42% increase in grand larceny, a 75% increase in carjackings. Businesses are fleeing. The mobs of illegal migrants are being put up in luxury hotels at your expense while our great veterans live on the freezing or steaming sidewalks right outside the main entrance to where the migrants enter their hotel.”
CASHLESS BAIL: “You kill somebody and you’re out on the streets in two hours. Cashless bail has been a disaster for our country. Kamala Harris wanted it no matter where she went. She boasted about being the leader of the movement of cashless bail, just like she led the effort to defund the police. She was the leader of the effort to defund the police, and now she’s running for president.”
TAXES: “No tax on tips. So if you’re a waitress, a caddy, a driver. But maybe better, no tax on overtime. And we’ll get it done. We’ll get it done. Unlike him with student loan debt that went nowhere just to talk. I get it all done. Remember what they say: promises made, promises kept. That’s me.”
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE: "But under the Trump Economic Plan, we will cut your energy prices in half within 12 months, half because we have more liquid gold under our feet and we don’t use it. We go to places like Venezuela when we have more than Russia, we have more than Saudi Arabia. You remember, I got ANWR approved in Alaska. It’s the biggest site anywhere in the world, probably bigger than Saudi Arabia, bigger than Russia.”
SOCIAL SECURITY: “No tax on Social Security benefits. No tax on Social Security benefits. And you know why you deserve it? Because you lived like hell with the highest inflation probably in the history of our country, and you couldn’t make ends meet. Now you’re not going to have to pay tax on your Social Security benefits. And I will always protect Social Security and Medicare. And they won’t. They’re going to destroy it.”
CLOSING REMARKS: “On November 5th, we will save our economy. We will rescue our middle class. We will reclaim our sovereignty and restore our borders. We will put America first and we will take back our country. Because together we will make America powerful again. Make America wealthy again. Make America healthy again. Make America strong again. Make America proud again. Make America safe again. Make America free again. And we will make America great again.”
