President Donald Trump made a triumphant return to the campaign trail in Asheboro, North Carolina, holding his first outdoor rally since the assassination attempt against him one month ago.
With a crowd of thousands cheering him on, Trump, alongside Senator JD Vance, laid out their vision for restoring America’s global standing after the disastrous Harris-Biden regime.
Some of the highlights from the rally:
- Saluting Local Law Enforcement: President Trump took a moment to honor local sheriffs on stage, stating, “You are the reason that we’re able to be here and have a safe state — and a great state.” His appreciation for law enforcement resonated deeply with attendees.
- Compassion in Action: Trump comforted a member of the crowd who suffered a medical emergency.
- A Record of Success: Reflecting on his first term, Trump reminded supporters of his administration’s significant foreign policy achievements: “We defeated ISIS, we killed the world’s top terrorists, we secured our borders, we achieved Energy Independence, we stood up to China, we protected Israel, we made peace in the Middle East … and we didn’t start wars.”
- Critique of Afghanistan Withdrawal: Trump lamented the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan under the current administration: “Under my leadership, we were getting out of Afghanistan — but we were going to get out with dignity, pride, and with strength.” He emphasized that during his tenure, no American service members were lost in combat in Afghanistan for 18 months.
- Restoring Peace Through Strength: Looking ahead to a potential second term, Trump pledged to restore America’s strength immediately after taking office: “Starting the moment I lift my hand from the Bible after taking the oath of office, I will move to restore America to maximum strength and return the world to peace.”
- Border Security Accountability: Senator Vance did not hold back in his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of border security: “As Border Czar, Kamala Harris has allowed a literal invasion of this country … If we give Kamala Harris a promotion and make her the president of the United States, the southern border is going to look like Walmart on Black Friday.”
- The Stakes of This Election: Vance encapsulated the choice facing voters: “Let’s be honest, folks: mean tweets and world peace has a pretty nice ring to it — and I think we ought to bring it back.”
Also, during the rally, President Trump announced that all military members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate would be reinstated with full back pay and apology from the government.
