Today on the campaign trail in Wisconsin, Donald Trump gave a gloomy review of his angry, rambling diatribe there, admitting simply (and accurately) “this is a dark speech.”
He’s right. It was.
- He doubled down on his vow to prosecute his political enemies.
- He praised Project 2025 author Tom Homan, the architect of his cruel family separation policy.
- He said Fox News should be censored for airing Vice President Harris speeches.
- He repeated conspiracy theories and lies and said his rant was “more important than anything having to do with the economy” and “bigger than inflation.”
But he did not offer a single policy to help the American people or strengthen our economy at a moment when Trump is losing ground on the economy in the eyes of voters.
- Trump’s message to battleground voters in Wisconsin: “Isn’t this a wonderful and inspiring speech? It’s a dark speech.”
Harris-Walz Spokesperson Sarafina Chitika released the following statement:
“Donald Trump is finally telling the truth to voters: He’s got nothing ‘inspiring’ to offer the American people, just darkness. He has no plan to grow our economy, no vision to bring down costs, and no plan to fix the immigration system he broke. He sank the bipartisan border deal because he’s more interested in fanning the flames of hate and division than delivering real solutions for our country. The American people deserve better than Trump’s bleak, backward-looking Project 2025 agenda. This November, they’ll elect Vice President Harris for a new way forward.”
