Donald Trump expresses optimism for the midterms despite polls he calls 'rigged,' citing large rallies. He issues a stark warning that the country would be 'forever destroyed' if Democrats gain control of Congress and the presidency, outlining extreme policy changes. He also details his plan to use veto power and pardons if Republicans lose.
In a rare moment of introspection following extensive campaigning, an energetic 80-year-old Donald Trump shared his optimistic outlook on the upcoming midterms, despite polls favoring Democrats, which he dismisses as 'rigged.' He believes his rallies have significantly boosted Republican candidates, citing anecdotal evidence like Jon Husted's alleged poll surge. Trump emphasized his talent for branding and identifying political talent, praising figures like Marco Rubio and JD Vance. He issued a severe warning about the consequences of a Democratic victory, claiming the country would be 'finished' and 'forever destroyed.' He outlined a future where Democrats would cheat in elections, implement radical policies like open borders, 'transgender everything,' and 'mutilization of children,' stack the Supreme Court, eliminate the filibuster, and create new blue states to ensure Republican defeat. If Republicans were to lose both chambers, Trump stated he would become 'Mr. Veto,' blocking all legislation and eventually seeking deals. He also expressed readiness to issue preemptive pardons to protect allies from potential Democratic prosecutions. Though resigned to the two-term limit preventing a third presidential run, Trump remains bullish about the economy, predicting unprecedented growth and gas prices below $2 in the coming years.
