‘Bullets are flying’
Donald Trump blamed the Joe Biden, Kamala Harris administration for the bullets flying in America. “The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust. Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse! Allowing millions of people, from places unknown, to INVADE and take over our Country, is an unpardonable sin,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Our borders must be closed, and the terrorists, criminals, and mentally insane, immediately removed from American cities and towns, deported back to their countries of origin. We want people to come into our country, but they must love our nation, and come in legally and through system of merit. The world is laughing at us fools, they are stealing our jobs and our wealth. We cannot let them laugh any longer,” Trump posted.
