Donald Trump is invoking a vision of an extreme new White House term that would transform America and rock the world.
And Vice President Kamala Harris has only three weeks to avert it, as she struggles to restore momentum in a neck-and-neck race to Election Day.
The Republican nominee is escalating the most toxic anti-immigrant rhetoric in modern US history, warning outsiders with “bad genes” have “invaded” the country after falsely claiming that Haitian migrants here legally were eating pets in Ohio.
At a rally in Arizona on Sunday, Trump baselessly suggested that if Harris were elected, “the entire country will be turned into a migrant camp.” In Colorado two days earlier, he again vowed to “begin the largest deportation operation in the history of the United States,” promising, “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegals into our country. We will defend our territory. We will not be conquered.”
And he escalated his threats against political opponents this weekend, saying on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” he could turn the military on “the enemy from within.” The ex-president, who incited violence to try to stay in power after the 2020 election, also said at a rally Saturday that a heckler exercising the right to free speech should “get the hell knocked out of” her.
