The closer the time is to the US presidential election, the more outrageous Trump's words become, and even reach the realm of "not surprising and endless".
A few days ago, Trump said in a speech that "his defeat in the presidential election will be a massacre in the United States." In addition, he expressed his views on opposing immigration and pardoning criminals, and his attitude was tougher and firmer than before.
So, what did Trump say, and was his words true?
1. Trump's speech has once again sparked discussion
For the sake of a presidential position, two old people who are over the age of ten years are fighting for blood.
In 2024, the U.S. presidential election is approaching, and the two old men have also entered the decisive stage, with Biden in the Democratic Party and Trump in the Republican Party once again standing on the stage of history - this dramatic scene can be described as unprecedented.
Four years have passed, and Biden may have a headache, and this Trump has almost reached the point of not dying.
There is a lot of noise in the United States for the presidential election. But there are also many people who think that these two people are getting older, old and faint, and are not suitable to lead a country forward.
For example, Biden, who often dozes off in public, and Trump, who often says something very extreme.
American netizens left a message on Twitter: Every country needs young people to take over the baton left by the elderly, but these two people want to fight to the death for power and engage in "gerontocracy".
At the beginning of March, the New York Times released a poll, and the data showed that Biden's approval rating has always hovered around 40%, and Trump has always led Biden by 1~2.4 percentage points.
If this poll is from the grassroots and very true, it is enough to see that it is really possible for these two people to fight each other, and perhaps it is precisely because of this key point that Trump has worked so hard.
On March 16, Trump gave a speech in Ohio.
He said his defeat in the 2024 presidential election would be a massacre for the United States. In addition, he expressed his views on the new energy vehicle market: imposing 100% tariffs on electric vehicle factories set up by Chinese automakers in Mexico.
After Trump's original words were translated into Chinese, many people in China mistakenly believed that "the United States will impose at least 100% tariffs on car imports other than their own country, so that other brands of cars cannot be sold in the domestic market of the United States".
Trump is targeting not only China, which is leading the rest of the world on the new energy track, but also the Mexican government, after all, in the four years since he stepped down, many people from Mexico have poured into the United States.
In addition, he expressed his deep disgust at the judicial problems in the United States and the immigration problems that are a headache for the residents of the United States.
2. The Democrats' unabashed attacks on Trump
Trump's crazy rhetoric has always attracted the attention of the public, so after his remarks, the Democrats reacted immediately - using the CNN they control to respond quickly and launched a fierce attack on the Republicans represented by Trump - claiming that his remarks were "nonsense" and "serious panic-mongering".
As a result, many people have doubted Trump's intentions - does he want to make a good country or a bad country?
When he saw that public opinion was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Trump had a new rhetoric, claiming that it was because he found that the teleprompter was too far away from him on the day of the speech, so some words were blurted out in a hurry, "it is indeed a little inconsiderate", but the overall meaning is very different.
In response to Trump's flattering statement, the Democratic media seemed to be trying to push him into a corner, and Trump did not reply when he saw that his goal had been achieved, and the red-necked group who supported his remarks naturally turned more and more towards Trump and the Republican Party.
3. The purpose of Trump's nonsense
The reason why there is a group of fanatical rednecks who support Trump is because every word of Trump's words hit their hearts, such as that he said that he would make foreign cars uncompetitive in the United States, and when he spoke about this, the audience erupted in loud cheers — they are workers from Ohio who work in the auto industry.
This group loves their profession and enthusiastically embraces their industry, so they are very enthusiastic about Trump's words, and more importantly, the redneck group is very similar to Trump in some way.
This group of rednecks is the base of Trump's vote, they come from some farms in the Mideastern and Southern United States, they are all white, they have three characteristics: they are not rich or even very poor, they are not well educated, they believe that reading is useless, and they have more traditional ideas and violent tendencies.
In response to the above characteristics, Trump will naturally use means to turn them into "fans", for example, in speeches, Trump will use some vernacular to incite the emotions of the red-necked group, and mingle with them as a small citizen.
Moreover, these white people are very much opposed to illegal immigration, and Trump has seized on this to vigorously advocate a boycott of foreign companies and illegal immigration.
In several speeches, Trump has suggested that the first thing he will do when he moves into the White House is to stop illegal immigrants from entering the United States.
So every time he brought up the issue of illegal immigration, the crowd cheered him wildly, and in addition, he pointed out that the criminals should be released.
It can be said that Trump's speech is easy to win people's hearts.
Because the red-necked group hates the policies of the Biden administration.
First, in the case of illegal immigration, the security in Mexico is getting better and better, and if the Biden administration allows "legal immigration", then wouldn't the United States be occupied by Mexican criminals?
Second, China is in an advantageous position on the new energy track, and the red-necked group depends on their manufacturing industry to survive, and once China overtakes in this area, they will absolutely not be able to tolerate collective unemployment.
What's more, there are racist sentiments among the red-necked group – they won't allow the yellow race to be better than them on some level. So, Trump's remarks hit them right in.
To sum up, the reason why Trump made a lot of nonsense in Ohio, which was a massacre and a tariff, was to arouse the emotions of the people of Ohio, after all, this state is very special - it sometimes swayed to the Biden camp, and sometimes it was touted by Trump to become a fan of the Republican Party.
The reason why Trump gave an extremely angry speech there was to draw them under his command in order to help him win the election.
But judging by the current situation, Trump is still not far ahead of the vote, and it is impossible to make a strong comeback.
The self-proclaimed beacon of "democracy" and "freedom" has turned out to be a situation in which two gangs are fighting for the boss. It has to be said that this is the sorrow of a country and the sorrow of a system.
Every four years, the United States plays a war of words in front of the whole world, with countless presidents making foreign appearances and politicians trying their best to win over the hearts and minds of the people. Whether Trump can defeat Biden or Biden is re-elected, the corruption and decline of the United States is already obvious.
