At the “People’s Convention” of Turning Point Action in Michigan, former President Donald Trump made a stopover, delivering a fiery speech that highlighted his hardline stance on immigration and his critical view of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
With the US Presidential Election set for November 5, 2024, Trump outlined the stark choices he believes voters face. “The choice for every voter in November is clear: You can have a President who lets thousands of radical Islamic terrorists into our country or you can decide to have a President who throws radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our Country,” Trump declared, emphasizing his commitment to national security.
Trump vowed that on the first day of his new administration, he would launch the largest deportation operation in American history. “We have no choice, this is not sustainable,” he asserted, underscoring his stance on immigration.
In his speech, Trump also addressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him “maybe the greatest salesman of any politician that ever lived.” He recounted Zelenskyy’s visits to the United States, during which he secured substantial financial aid. “Every time he comes to our country, he walks away with $60 billion. And I like him. During the impeachment hoax number one, he said, ‘No, the President (Trump) didn’t threaten me at all.’ He could have been a grandstander and said I was threatened, right?” Trump remarked.
Trump criticized the continuous financial aid to Ukraine, mentioning Zelenskyy’s recent visit. “Now he is the beauty, he just left four days ago with $60 billion, and he gets home and announces that he needs another $60 billion. It never ends,” Trump stated. He promised to resolve this issue before taking office, saying, “I will have that settled prior I get into the White House even as President-elect, I will have that settled.”
