The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has puffed out his chest this Saturday about his performance in domestic politics and has launched harsh attacks against the Democrats, with his eyes set on the 'midterms', the legislative elections in November, during a rally held in South Carolina in memory of the late Republican ex-senator Lindsey Graham.
In his speech, Trump warned of the consequences that, in his opinion, a Democratic victory in the Senate would have. "You are going to lose your border. You are going to lose your tax cuts. Your taxes are going to go up. Your salary is going to go down. You are going to lose your job. Your business is going to cease to exist. They are going to impeach me --and they have no idea why--," declared the president, referring to the possibility that the "lunatics" and "radicals" of the left would take control of the Senate in the upcoming elections.
The occupant of the White House has intensified his criticism against the Democratic Party, which he has labeled as "communist" and, in general terms, "full of horrible people." "The Dumocrats (an insult in English that combines the words "useless" and "democrat") hate our country. They are communists, they are Radical Left Lunatics, and frankly, in many cases, they are horrible people," asserted the American president, hardening the tone of the campaign.
Trump promotes Lindsey Graham's sister for the Senate
Trump had already announced on his social media that he would participate in this event "in honor" of the ex-senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away on July 11, and there he confirmed his intention for the late senator's sister, Darline Graham, to run for his seat.
"I am getting ready to land in the great state of South Carolina, where I am going to hold a rally in honor of Lindsey Graham, in support of his fantastic sister, Darline, whom, after knowing her for many years, I asked to run for the United States Senate and take Lindsey's seat. See you soon!" he noted in a post on his social media, in which he made clear his commitment to the continuity of the late senator's political legacy.
The president claims his economic policy
During the rally, the Republican leader once again claimed his economic and domestic management, emphasizing that the current results would only be the beginning of what he promises for the country.
"Last month, the inflation rate fell at the fastest rate in many years and more Americans are working today than at any time in the history of the country... And they haven't seen anything yet," he stated, presenting this data as proof of the strength of his domestic agenda.
Support for the Supreme Court on the works at the White House
Trump also celebrated the Supreme Court's decision to allow the resumption of the construction of the new White House ballroom, while the high court studies whether to definitively authorize the long-term project.
"We appreciate the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States. The military and ballroom complex being built on the sacred grounds of the White House, so vital for national security, will be the largest! It is something that presidents have desired for 150 years and that the Armed Forces have been seeking for 100 years. Their wish will soon come true! The construction is being carried out on budget and ahead of schedule," he announced in another post on his social media, hours before the rally, where he again acknowledged the role of the Chief Justice, John Roberts, and reminded that the cost of the works is lower than initially estimated.
At the end of the event, the president wanted to dedicate a few words of thanks to the now former White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who is leaving the position to dedicate herself to her family.
"President Trump, you are the most consequential and historic president in the history of our great country -- and it has been the honor of my life to serve as your White House Press Secretary," the outgoing press secretary stated in her public farewell.
