    Donald Trump delivered his closing speech to Atlanta voters on Monday, leaning heavily into immigration and anti-trans rhetoric.

    play

    WASHINGTON — Former President donald trump – while attacking all kinds of opponents of the vice president Kamala Harris to former first lady Michelle Obama, claimed Monday that it is Democrats who are using “disgusting” rhetoric to define their campaign as they try to court Georgia’s all-too-important voters just a week before the 2024 election.

    Trump’s rally at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta was aimed at getting voters to the polls ahead of the important Nov. 5 election. “We love Georgia,” he told the crowd, to cheers at the start of his roughly 75-minute speech.

    Georgia is among the seven key swing states Trump and Harris believe they are key to their respective paths to victory. Triumph Georgia narrowly lost in 2020 to President Joe Biden: neither the former president nor Harris have shown a clear advantage in the state in recent surveys.

    Trump’s final address to voters included attacks on transgender people, proposed tax cuts, a dose of nostalgia and plenty of talk about immigration.

    Here’s a look at some key moments.

    anti-trans message

    In the final days of the election, the Trump campaign questioned Harris’ decision. support for the transgender community and leaned toward anti-trans messages. Monday’s demonstration was no exception.

    Near the end of his speech, Trump called transgender issues a “big deal” and told his supporters, “We don’t want transgender surgeries everywhere… We don’t want men playing women’s sports.”

    He peppered similar lines throughout the speech, suggesting his campaign may view the issue as a rallying cry for Trump’s base. Pro-Trump ads argue that Harris is for “they/them” and say that he is for “sex changes for prisoners.”

    But polls have shown that transgender rights issues are not a priority for most voters. TO Gallup poll in early October found that transgender rights were the least important issue on voters’ minds across 22 issue areas, including the economy, inflation, abortion, taxes and energy policy.

    Criticism of Harris’ rhetoric

    Trump used the rally to question attacks by some Democrats who have compared his past protests, actions and comments to those of the Nazis and Adolf Hitler.

    Harris described Trump as a “fascist” last week after John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, used the term to describe the former president in interviews with the New York Times. Kelly also said Trump made admiring comments about Hitler on more than one occasion.

    “The way they talk is so disgusting, just horrible,” Trump said at his Monday rally. “This is the kind of outrageous rhetoric that has resulted in two assassination attempts in the last three months.”

    Democrats have pointed out that Trump is the one who has attacked Harris’ intelligence, ethnicity and competence. He He described his politics as fascist in August and called her a fascist on Monday.

    While denouncing rhetoric against him, Trump told the crowd in Atlanta about Harris: “She’s a fascist, okay? “She is a fascist.”

    Previously, Harris said Trump is “obsessed with his grievances, with himself, and with dividing our country,” citing Sunday’s rally at Madison Square Garden as the latest example.

    “It is absolutely something that is intended and is fueling the fuel to try to divide our country,” Harris said.

    Tax cuts for care

    If elected, Trump has proposed tax cuts on everything from overtime pay to social security benefits. A family caregiver tax credit can now be added to the list.

    During his Madison Square Garden rally, Trump announced the new policy proposal for family caregivers and repeated it to Atlanta voters Monday night.

    “I will support a tax credit, a full tax credit for family caregivers who care for a parent or a loved one. They deserve it,” Trump said to applause.

    The proposal comes as Trump and Harris seek to court two large blocs of voters: seniors and women, who make up the majority of the population. unpaid family caregivers in the country.

    Harris pledged earlier this year to expand Medicare coverage include home care costs for seniors if you win.

    magical nostalgia

    If Trump wins, he will not be able to run for re-election again under the Constitution. If he loses, he will indicate that he will not launch another presidential campaign in 2028.

    The weight of his last eight years in the political spotlight and the end of his campaign days loomed large in the former president’s mind Monday night.

    “We’re almost done with this. We’ve been doing this together for nine years,” he said, adding that it would be “very difficult” for future Republican presidential candidates to match the size of his crowd.

    Trump described his rise to political fame as a “unique situation” and the “greatest political movement.”

    Trump called Michelle Obama “nasty”

    Trump called former first lady Michelle Obama “disgusting” for comments she made about him at a Harris event over the weekend.

    during a speech in Michigan on SaturdayObama called Trump “erratic” and said he is a convicted felon and in “evident mental deterioration,” among other criticisms.

    Trump responded by saying that “it was a big mistake that she made.” He did not give more details.

    Trump criticizes Democrats’ immigration record

    Immigration has been a central focus of Trump’s campaign since he launched his first presidential bid in 2016. And he stayed steadfast on message in the final days of the race.

    Trump criticized Biden and Harris’ immigration policies and evoked the death of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia nursing student who died while jogging on campus in February. TO 26-year-old Venezuelan migrant He was arrested on murder and assault charges, and federal authorities said he entered the United States illegally in 2022 and was arrested at least once before.

    Trump has used Reilly’s death as an example of violent crimes committed by immigrants in the United States, although it has been discovered that they committed crimes in less than half the rate of citizens born in the United States, according to a study by the National Institute of Justice.

    War cry to get out the vote

    With margins as close as Georgia’s, every vote counts. Trump pressed rally attendees on the importance of casting their vote and at one point conducted a real-time voice poll to see how many people had already voted.

    “We are leading by a long shot, but get out and vote. “We can’t take any chances,” Trump said.

    During a religious summit near Atlanta that same day, Trump encouraged Christian voters, a critical part of your electorate – to go to the polls.
