Late Friday night, President Donald Trump addressed a jam-packed arena at Fiserv Forum – home to the Milwaukee Bucks, hours after a rally in Warren, Michigan as Democratic infighting divides the party just days before the election.
“I’ve come today with a message of hope for all Americans…I don’t want your money. I want your damn vote,” Trump told the energized crowd, who awaited his arrival by singing and dancing to music blasting on the loudspeakers. Former governors Scott Walker and Tommy Thompson; former presidential advisor Sebastian Gorka and Robert Kennedy, Jr. warmed up the crowd. Kennedy – who traveled with the president on Trump Force One, spoke just moments before the 45th President took the stage.
“When you go to the voting booth on Tuesday, you’re going to see my name on the ballot. I do not want your vote. I want you to vote for Donald Trump,” Kennedy told the crowd. In September, Kennedy sued to have his name removed from the presidential ballot in Wisconsin and other states after he dropped out of the presidential race, but certain state laws – including laws in Wisconsin indicate that if a candidate is qualified to be on the ballot – their names cannot be removed.
About 15 minutes into the speech, the president was experiencing audio issues and the crowd in the back of the arena began chanting, “fix the mic! Fix the mic! Fix the mic!” An annoyed Trump, who was upset at the low volume, ripped the microphone off the stand and began holding it until an aide brought another mic.
“This mic stinks” Trump told the crowd – as they cheered and held up campaign signs. Many wore yellow reflector vests and garbage bags – making a point to President Joe Biden that they are not “garbage.”
Biden created controversy earlier this week when he stated during a meeting with Latino activists that, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”
During Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally last Sunday, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe – who tells jokes for a living – and teases everybody – joked about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage.” And the left – who are looking for any distraction as Vice President Harris struggles on the campaign trail – seized on the comment. But it was Biden, who created the real controversy. Shortly after the comments disparaging Trump supporters, the White House altered the official transcript and removed Biden’s “garbage” comment.
Many political experts don’t believe these comments by Biden are an accident, but rather a deliberate and calculated effort to sabotage Harris’ campaign after she threw him to the side and took over the top of the presidential ticket.
On Friday, just an hour before Trump took the stage in Milwaukee, former Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich – a “Trumpocrat,” made an appearance on Fox News with Jesse Watters and said,
“It’s too bad Biden votes in Delaware and not in Pennsylvania because that would be another vote for Trump. I think Biden has actually pulled the knife that she stuck in his back a few months ago and has now taken it out and stuck it in her back. This is payback… what he’s doing.”
The former governor continued,
“Calling the American people ‘garbage’ was no mistake and doing it on the eve of the election – the way he did – stepping on her message and her big event – this was purposeful.”
On Tuesday, Blagojevich traveled to Maine and recorded an episode on the Tucker Carlson Show where he discussed why he no longer recognizes the Democratic Party and their anti-America, anti-Christian agenda and why Trump is gaining ground amongst minority and working class Americans. The episode, which was released just a few days ago, has already generated over 3.5 million views.
Trump is gaining ground in the swing states as Harris continues to stumble on the campaign trail and during her limited media interviews. On Saturday, he’s holding two rallies in North Carolina and one in Virginia. On Sunday, Trump holds rallies in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
