Trump's Rally: Puerto Rico Praise Amid Controversy
Pennsylvania, Allentown, USAWed Oct 30 2024
Former President Donald Trump praised Puerto Ricans at a Pennsylvania rally this week, following a racist joke about the island. He claimed to be a big supporter of the Puerto Rican community and boasted about his actions as president. However, his past remarks and actions, like tossing paper towels after a hurricane and considering selling the island, have been criticized. The rally aimed to win Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania, a key election state. Despite the controversy, some supporters remained unfazed. One attendee even found the joke funny.
Trump's speech focused on personal attacks and anti-immigrant rhetoric. He accused Democrats of cheating and prepared his base for potential election challenges. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris labeled Trump "unstable, " while he called her "low-IQ. " Outside the rally, protesters carried signs supporting the opposing party. A retired truck driver from Allentown, born in Puerto Rico, defended his birthplace, stating it's a beautiful island.
