In what may be one of the last Florida campaign stops of his presidential bid, former President Donald Trump spotlighted his “love affair” with Hispanic voters on Tuesday in South Florida, in an event that included “fight, fight, fight” chants and a prayer during which hands were laid on Trump at the end.
With some national polls showing Trump ahead of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris with Latinos (and others showing the opposite), the third-time Republican candidate seeks yet again to target a potentially movable demographic that will be key when votes are counted in two weeks.
“We’re actually leading with Hispanics. That’s never happened before,” Trump said, adding that “initial numbers” in swing states such as North Carolina are outstripping internal expectations and 2016 and 2020 performance levels even in areas hardest hit by Hurricane Helene.
The former President took supporter questions on a variety of subjects, including blaming Harris, once billed as the “border czar,” for not having called the Border Patrol once to deal with the porous U.S.-Mexican border, and facilitating “human trafficking” of women and little girls in “trunks of cars,” in response to comments from “Sound of Freedom” actor Eduardo Verástegui.
Trump said that “325,000 children are missing, sex slaves, slaves or dead,” urging supporters to “think of what 325,000 is.”
“How many times can you fill a nice big stadium with 325,000?”
He alleged that 13,099 murderers have been “released into the United States” along with “drug lords,” “gang members” and human traffickers, and said the other side isn’t focusing enough on the issue.
“All they think about is transgender operations,” Trump claimed of Democrats.
Many of the comments were not Latino-centric: Trump accused the “lazy as hell” Harris of “sleeping” and “taking the day off” from the campaign trail, in what seemed to be a counter to Harris’ claims that Trump is too exhausted to campaign.
“Who the hell takes off? You have 14 days left,” Trump asked.
Trump also complained about “lying” in ads by the other side, suggesting that could be “election interference.” (The Harris camp asserts the claim is about Project 2025 connections drawn in ads, which Trump has denied.)
And he also weighed in against electric vehicle mandates and how they would affect the trucking industry.
Prominent supporters made their own cases for their preferred candidate.
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott called Harris a “complete socialist” who is devoted to Nicolás Maduro-style “price controls,” and said Trump is the “only person” who can “stop” the lurch toward collectivism from Democrats.
Scott, recently in a Dollar General to “use the restroom,” noted that he saw people “struggling to pay” for their merchandise, and said Trump is the only candidate to turn around those economic pressures.
Scott noted Hispanics are the growth demographic in American politics, and predicted Trump would carry them in the end.
U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar noted the former President spoke that Hispanics constitute the “largest minority” in America and that a “realignment of historical proportions” is in play among “20% or more of the population.”
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, a former presidential candidate, blasted “Latinx” constructions from Democrats as pandering, saying Trump has “delivered” on lowering Hispanic unemployment and increasing Hispanic home ownership to record levels.

Miami Dade county went red in the last election cycle and it looks like the same thing will happen this time around. People are just tired of the empty promises of democrats. If Harris has something better to offer, why isn’t it currently being implemented in her current administration?

Last I checked it wasn’t her administration. Likewise, Pence didn’t have any say in what Trump did during his administration.

She admitted she wouldn’t do anything different than what the administration has been doing. That means she owns the failure. No amount of mental gymnastics will change that fact.

KH has said numerous times that she would be her own person if elected — and no amount of selective MAGA amnesia will change this.
Now, compare how much of DJT’s misadventures in the White House were the result of VP Pence being in charge? (NONE is the correct answer.)

Just like drugs, if there’s a market for it, it will be available.
Heard several GOP MAGA MEN , talking about women and girls being trafficked, abused, raped etc and it’s Kamala’s fault. Hmmm, who are the “customers” for these trafficked females? Most likely those big old MAGA MEN, emphasis on the male vernacular. Men stop abusing, raping etc, well, it just might dry up the female marketplace.

Good evening Beloved Un-Decided Voters,
Historically Democrats in power = your Dad & Mom leaving town for 4 years & leaving their irresponsable drug addicted kids in charge.
Thats why we cycle back to Republicans after the irresponsable kids (Democrats) have trashed the house, foolishly spent all the money, and disgraced the family name.
IN CLOSING:
Your Parents (The Republicans) are coming home in a few weeks to clean up the Harris Administration’s mess.
Rejoice, Beloved Un-Decided Voters,

It’s a big mess. Libturds bend over the poor and rape them to serve the board members of the federal reserve with their inflation devaluation of the dollar. They only give a shit about themselves and to see there are these dum fuk juice drinkers crying for more indicates the education system is broken. Much like KUM ALLAH’ CZARS border policy that the bitch is trying to distance herself from.

The Latino community wants secured borders too. Guess what community all of the bad apples that entered illegally end up? Where is Kammy by the way? Does she need to take a day off for prep every time she does an interview? Again, she simply can’t think on her feet. The press and handlers are doing their best to hide and cover for her, but even the most loyal zombies are starting to see.

Trump has stiffed working people and small contractors his entire career. But, he also has stiffed some of the biggest financial institutions in the world, especially Deutsche Bank. So, he’s an equal opportunity cheat and trimmer.
And, no one expects DJT to pay Rudy G. the two million bucks the disbarred lawyer has billed DJT for the J6 shenanigans.

Latest person stiffed by DJT is the deceased US Army soldier who was sexually harassed and then murdered. Trump told the public he wold pick up Vanessa Guillén’s funeral bill — then reneged. Cheap!

I just realized why Kammy said senile Joe was alert, engaged, and active, when he is clearly on the cognitive decline. Compared to her, Joe runs circles around her. She is taking the day off today with 14 days to go. The coup girl is tired. Meanwhile Trump going full speed ahead.
