Former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Saturday that he is “the only one who can avoid the “World War III,” at a political rally in Wisconsin, one of the “swing states” where the November presidential election could be decided.
Trump explained the geopolitical implications of his victory: on the one hand, he repeated the idea that “I will fix that” Ukraine”without specifying the details, and on the other hand, warned that an eventual victory of his rival, the vice president and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, would mean the end of the State of Israel.
“If I do not win this election, Israel, With Kamala Harris at the helm of the United States, it is doomed“Israel will disappear in a year or two years and will no longer exist. I better win or they will have problems like they never had before,” he said.
Trump has said on several occasions, and he repeated it again on Saturday, that if he had been in charge, neither the war in Ukraine nor the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 and the subsequent war would have occurred, although he also said that he had already predicted both conflicts.
And he concluded: “Trump is always right. I hate being right, but I am always right,” adding that he also predicted the inflation galloping and the migration problems facing the country.
The Republican candidate’s rally was full of his most recurrent themes: insecurity, the danger of immigration, the cost of living and the loss of the United States’ influence in the world, but he received the greatest applause in Wisconsin when he promised to end measures to help or tolerate trans people, mainly in schools.
Trump faces his rival Harris on Tuesday in a presidential debate in the chain ABC which is seen as crucial in influencing the position of many undecided people and which, curiously, the candidate hardly mentioned today.
