During his last campaign rally of the 2024 election cycle, former President Trump raised concerns about the vote-counting methods and asserted that traditional paper ballots are a safer and more reliable option.
He commented, “The machines you spent a lot of money on might take you two weeks to use. Can you believe that? They may seem advanced, but have you tried watermark paper? It’s actually more sophisticated than using those machines.”
Wrapping up his speech in the early hours on Election Day, Trump expressed confidence in his chances of winning, claiming there was a 95% likelihood of his victory. He has frequently stated that he believes he won every state, despite polls indicating otherwise. Moreover, he declared that he was already ahead by several hundred thousand votes.
In a rather pointed remark, Trump directed insults at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, nearly calling her a “b—-” but refrained from completing the word. Instead, he muttered into the microphone, then paused.
“She’s not a decent person. She’s really bad, just terrible,” he remarked. “She’s got some issues—evil, sick, crazy—oh, and it starts with a ‘B,’ but I won’t say it.”
Trump also commented on recent job statistics, claiming that all new jobs are being filled by immigrants. “We are catering to migrants instead of our own people,” he argued.
Following a judge’s decision allowing Elon Musk’s America PAC to continue its substantial donations to voters at a rate of $1 million daily, Trump mentioned, “Today he faces another big lawsuit. But he won that case.”
In a dramatic recounting, Trump reflected on what he described as the first assassination attempt against him, detailing the speed of the bullet, discussions with medical professionals, and calling his survival a miraculous event, seemingly ignoring the teleprompter throughout this narrative.
Ending his final campaign rally after nearly nine years, Trump expressed heartfelt gratitude to his supporters: “It’s truly amazing. I love you all. You’re just so wonderful. Can you believe this is my last gathering? This gathering is the biggest and most beautiful of all,” he proclaimed.
