FORMER President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on the economy and immigration at a rally in Georgia. He wrapped up his three-state address on Sunday as he looks to strengthen his base in battleground states two days before Election Day.
After starting his day off with a stop in Pennsylvania peppered with dark rhetoric, the former president also held a rally in North Carolina and ended the day by repeating his talking points on the economy and immigration in Macon, Georgia. Here the crowd was larger and more enthusiastic than the people at the previous stop.
Trump wore a black hat with yellow MAGA letters that cast a dark shadow on his face and covered his eyes. Trump again argued that Harris would have a negative impact on Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan because former Republican Liz Cheney campaigned with her.
“We’re going to deal with these tough killers. He won’t do it. Tell you who doesn’t have the balls to do it? Liz Cheney doesn’t have the balls to do it. Liz Cheney, she talks a lot. We’re going to put in thousands of soldiers and they’re going to die. They “all will die, and I will sit at home with my father, think about all the people who died right now and then they wonder why Kamala did such a terrible thing to the Arab Muslim population in Michigan,” Trump said.
At one point, Trump claimed the Biden administration was leading the country toward another Great Depression. “It’s a bad time, people are jumping off buildings, and that’s where we’re headed, because we have incompetent leadership,” he said.
“These are Depression-type numbers, 1929 Depression-type numbers. And I never wanted to be president, I always tell people, I would hate to be president of the United States in 1929 when you had the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover, I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover, what a moment it was,” he added.
Although most voters still say they remain dissatisfied with economic conditions, a Commerce Department report released last week showed that conditions are strong. (CNN/Z-2)

**Interview with Political Analyst Jane Smith on Trump’s Recent Rally and Comments**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Jane. Thank you for joining us today to discuss Donald Trump’s recent rally at Georgia Tech. It seems his remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, specifically calling her a ‘fascist’, have garnered significant attention. What are your thoughts on this framing?
**Jane Smith:** Thank you for having me. Trump’s use of the term ‘fascist’ is certainly striking and not uncommon in his rhetoric. By labeling Harris this way, he not only aims to mobilize his base but also to frame the political narrative around the perceived threats of the current administration. His rhetoric often seeks to evoke strong emotional responses, particularly ahead of such a critical election.
**Interviewer:** He also emphasized his stance by saying, “I’m not a Nazi.” What do you think is the significance of that statement?
**Jane Smith:** That statement is both a deflection and a way to draw clear boundaries. It’s a response to ongoing criticisms and associations made against him by opponents. By distancing himself from such extreme ideologies, he’s trying to maintain his support among more moderate conservatives who might be wary of extremism. Essentially, he’s saying he’s a different breed of political outsider, one who is fighting against what he believes to be an authoritarian regime under the Biden administration.
**Interviewer:** Trump’s rallies often focus on immigration and the economy. How effective do you think his messaging has been in those areas?
**Jane Smith:** His messaging around immigration and the economy has been a staple of his campaigns, tapping into the frustrations of many Americans. Large, enthusiastic crowds like the one in Georgia indicate that his base is still energized by these topics. However, the effectiveness can vary. While he can rally his supporters effectively, the broader impact on undecided voters is more complicated. Those issues resonate differently depending on voters’ personal experiences and perspectives.
**Interviewer:** Many observers note that the energy at his Georgia rally was particularly high. What do you think that indicates about his campaign strategy moving forward?
**Jane Smith:** The enthusiasm at his rallies could be a good sign for his campaign as it shows he has not lost touch with his core supporters. This momentum is crucial, especially in battleground states. His strategy appears to be focused on solidifying that base while attempting to attract undecided voters by emphasizing security, economic stability, and a return to his administration’s policies.
**Interviewer:** With Election Day approaching, what do you expect to see from the final days of his campaign?
**Jane Smith:** In these final days, I anticipate Trump will double down on his core messages, use provocative language, and will likely ramp up his criticism of both Harris and Biden. It’s all about solidifying turnout among his supporters and presenting a stark contrast to his opponents, which is something we can always expect from his campaign style.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Jane, for your insights on this critical moment in the election cycle.
**Jane Smith:** Thank you for having me.
