During a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed regret over leaving the White House following his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, repeating his claim of a “stolen election.” Speaking just days before the upcoming Election Day, Trump declared that under current leadership, the U.S. has become “a failed country” led by an “incompetent group of fools.”
Trump criticized the Democratic administration’s handling of immigration, specifically targeting Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of failing to control illegal migration at the southern border. “We had the safest border in the history of our country, the day I left,” Trump said. “I shouldn’t have left… because we did so well.”
Reaffirming his stance on election integrity, Trump labeled the Democratic Party a “corrupt machine” and insisted that U.S. elections could only be safeguarded through strict paper ballots and mandatory voter identification. “In California, you are not even allowed to ask for a voter ID. They are only doing it because they want to cheat,” he claimed.
Trump’s reluctance to concede his 2020 loss has remained steadfast, despite courts rejecting widespread voter fraud allegations. His presidency concluded after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, temporarily halting the certification of Biden’s win.
