Donald Trump traveled to Michigan on Saturday for his first campaign appearance since being shot last week, and his first alongside his newly announced running mate JD Vance, the US senator for Ohio.
His ear may have been bandaged, but otherwise, Trump seemed little different than his old self, continuing to mock Democrats, lie about the 2020 election, demonize migrants in racist terms, praise right-wing dictators, and tell bizarre stories of dubious truthfulness.
Elsewhere, he called Nancy Pelosi “crazy,” and accused her of turning on Joe Biden “like a dog,” after reports she privately told the president he should step aside and can’t beat Trump in November.
At one point, he told a bizarre story about offering to take the leader of North Korea to a baseball game as a way to stop him from pursuing further nuclear weapons.
In between the jokes about Democrats and familiar, still-false claims that they “rigged” the 2020 election, Trump reserved special ire for migrants, describing them in ways that echoed the far-right “Great Replacement” theory.
“This is an invasion of our country,” Trump added of migrants entering the US, people who he claimed were leading the “plunder, rape, and slaughter of our American suburbs and cities.”
