Trump Claims Assassination Attempts Hardened His Resolve, Predicts Win in New York

Trump Rallies Supporters in Long Island, Claims Assassination Attempts Strengthened His Resolve

Former President Donald Trump held a rally on Long Island, drawing thousands of supporters. Trump focused on his recent near-death experiences, claiming they had only “hardened his resolve” to “Make America Great Again.” He specifically referenced the shooting incident at his Florida golf course and the attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally.

Trump boasted about the recent Teamsters union poll showing nearly 60% of members support his candidacy over Vice President Kamala Harris. He attributed this to the members' dissatisfaction with Harris' performance, particularly on issues like the US-Mexico border.

Trump Promises a Safer New York

Trump addressed the issue of illegal immigration in New York, declaring, “You got to get rid of these people. Give me a shot, you will have a safe New York within three months.” He argued that the influx of immigrants has contributed to rising crime and terrorized New Yorkers.

Trump acknowledged the legal battles he faces in New York, but expressed his love for the state and promised to improve the quality of life for residents, focusing on crime reduction and tax cuts. He also mentioned plans to visit Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, where he claims residents are facing issues with Venezuelan gang members and Haitian migrants, respectively.
