Earlier the same day, Trump, in North Carolina, while surveying damage from Hurricane Helene, criticised the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for its response, accusing it of mishandling funds and resources.
Speaking at the Williams Arena in Minges Coliseum, Trump said: “This election is a choice between whether we will have four more years of incompetence and stupidity and failure and disaster, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country”.
A key theme of Trump’s rally was border security. He lambasted the Biden administration for what he described as a complete failure to handle immigration.
Singling out his political rival Vice President Kamala Harris for her role, Trump said, “Biden put this total stupid person in charge of our border… She said, ‘Keep those borders open. Let everybody come in’.”
He vowed that if elected on November 5, he would end what he called a “migrant invasion” and use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 “to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil.”
Blasting FEMA, Trump in North Carolina, while surveying damage from Hurricane Helene, once again accused the agency of mishandling funds and resources. This claim, as per reports, was debunked weeks ago by US Rep. Chuck Edwards.
When asked if his criticism might affect election results in the state, Trump brushed it off, suggesting FEMA had failed to help adequately because it was distracted by helping illegal migrants.
“Well, I think you have to let people know how they’re doing,” Trump told reporters in Swannanoa, outside Asheville.
“If they were doing a great job, I think we should say that, too, because I think they should be rewarded … If they’re doing a poor job, we’re supposed to not say it?” he asked.
