Former President Donald Trump continues to show that he hasn’t lost his knack for theatrical flair at rallies, particularly when the targets are President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. At a recent rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Trump made it clear: the current administration seems to harbor a thing or two against everyday Americans, and it’s time to call it out. According to Trump, the leader of the free world ought to harbor a little love for the American people, not contempt.
In a fiery address, Trump did not hesitate to address Biden’s recent unsavory remarks about his supporters. In his trademark style, he argued that Biden’s words indicate a deep-seated disdain for those who dare to support a different political view. He even suggested that his own supporters possess superior quality compared to “crooked Joe” and “Lyin’ Kamala” – a claim that’s sure to have some Democrats scratching their heads in disbelief. Clearly, this rally served as a platform for Trump to remind everyone of the loyalty and dedication of his base.
The former president went on to diagnose the current state of the nation as one plagued by hatred and disillusionment. He asserted that a leader must genuinely care about the people they govern. In Trump’s eyes, incompetence in leadership leads to the treatment of the country and its citizens as mere refuse, a sentiment he reiterated by calling out the Biden administration for their handling of significant issues like inflation and illegal immigration. One can’t help but wonder if Biden’s team is taking notes on how to effectively rally the base instead of just gathering more dirt.

In a bizarre twist during the rally, Trump also took the time to address some sass from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made a rather unkind joke about Puerto Rico during a previous event. It seems Biden took the comedian’s jab personally, as he reiterated this sentiment by dismissing Trump’s followers as “garbage,” leading to a wrath of pushback from Republicans everywhere. Vice President Harris, sensing the growing tension, attempted to distance herself from such outrageous comments, professing that she disagrees with any negativity based on voting preferences. Clearly, they’re trying to backpedal from a faux pas that could cost them in the long run.
Finally, Trump fired back against all allegations hurled at him and his followers, reminding everyone of the names thrown around by the left over the years—racists, bigots, and even Nazis. It’s ironic that such severe descriptors are so carelessly tossed about. Trump claimed his late father instilled in him the importance of treating such labels with caution, caution that seems lost on his opponents. Instead of cowing to the relentless name-calling, Trump encourages his supporters to stand strong against the perceived bullying from the left, presenting himself as the quintessential champion of the common man.
This rally proved that the GOP isn’t backing down any time soon. With a blend of humor and indignation, Trump continues to rally the troops, calling for America to rise above the rhetoric and focus on real issues, ensuring that the “garbage” comments about the American people won’t soon be forgotten.
