Donald Trump had an apocalyptic warning for farmers in Pennsylvania: If he loses the election, “You won’t have a farm very long.”
At an event in Pennsylvania, Trump emphasized his pledge to shield rural Americans from China’s perceived threats, showcasing his ability to articulate populist economic arguments that resonate with voters.
Trump’s bleak forecast about potential bankruptcies in the agricultural industry aligns with his overall pessimistic political narrative, stressing themes of economic decline, crime, and immigration invasion.
While traditional politicians often offer hope and optimism, Trump relies on fearmongering and intimidation, warning of dire consequences such as World War III and economic collapse if he is not elected.
Trump’s divisive rhetoric extends to targeting specific groups like Jewish and Catholic voters, using exaggerated claims and threats to underline the stakes of the election.
