Trump's Final Campaign: Divisive Tactics and Desperate Times
Pennsylvania, Allentown, USAFri Nov 01 2024
Former President Donald Trump's current campaign is coming to an end, and it seems like this might be his last political hurrah. It's clear he wants to leave a lasting impression, but not in a good way. His campaign has been filled with hateful attacks, especially against trans Americans. This isn't just hurtful; it's dangerous. These attacks are linked to a rise in suicide attempts and depression among trans teens. Trump's not offering anything positive, just fear and division. His rallies are filled with wild claims and insults, like saying "325, 000 kids are missing, dead, or slaves" under the current administration. He doesn't care about facts; he just wants to stir up anger. Trump's billionaire buddy, Elon Musk, even made an ad calling the current vice president a "C-word" (they meant "communist, " wink wink). Trump's not trying to reach out to Democrats or undecided voters. He's just painting a dark picture of America and blaming Democrats for everything. Why? Because he thinks he's winning and doesn't care about reality. The economy is doing well, crime is low, but Trump doesn't want to talk about that. He's lying and causing more division. He even said he's the voters' "retribution. " We were warned, and here we are.
