Former President Donald Trump has warned Americans that if they do not vote for him in the November presidential election, they will no longer have a country.
“The most important day in the history of our country is going to be November 5,” Trump said. “Our country is going bad. And it’s going to be changed on November 5, and if it’s not changed, we’re not going to have a country anymore.”
During the segment, one of the topics Trump discussed was Truth Social, the former president’s social media website.
On Friday, the shareholders of Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) and Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), an established shell company, decided to merge, paving the path for the former president’s business to go public.
With a 58 percent ownership, Trump would be the first American president to hold a major position in a publicly traded company should he win the presidency in November. He has previously had stocks available for purchase, though.
In his interview with the Fox News host, Trump discussed the merger and Truth Social.
Kilmeade asked Trump, “You probably got an extra $5 billion in your checking account, What does that mean to you?”
“Truth has been amazing, Trump said.
“It gave me a voice. And when I was terminated from Twitter, it was vicious, and then all of a sudden I didn’t have a voice. And now it’s public. And the stock has gone through the roof. And really this is, I think in the true sense, this is really a great sign of where the people in this country stand. I view it as a poll. And I call it the voice. It’s the voice of America. It’s my voice,” Trump added.
Trump got another round of good news last week after a new poll found that many self-described Democrats support his disruptive political style.
According to a series of polls conducted by Harvard CAPS/Harris, there has been a notable uptick in the number of Democrats who view Trump more favorably rather than as “a danger to democracy” who would exacerbate divisions within the United States, Newsweek reported.
“The pollster’s March survey found that 33 percent of Democrats say Trump will shake up the country for the better, a three-point uptick from February’s poll and a five-point increase from January’s poll. Comparatively, the number of Democrats who see Trump as ‘a danger to democracy and will hopelessly divide the country if elected’ has decreased from 72 percent in January to 70 percent in February and 67 percent in March,” the outlet noted.
Trump is facing legal headwinds during the current election cycle, thanks to indictments by Democratic district attorneys and Biden’s Justice Department, but he has still managed to garner renewed support that he’ll need to win back the White House.
A report from Fox News states that several billionaire donors intend to offer their support to Trump now that he has essentially won the Republican nomination for the November presidential election. This is a positive development for the Trump campaign, which aims to reduce the fundraising gap with Biden.
The former president’s campaign announced that it raised a staggering $50.5 million during a Saturday evening fundraiser in West Palm Beach, Fla., CNN reported.
The total closes to double the record set by Biden’s campaign last week in New York when it raised $26 million at an event that featured former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
The “Inaugural Leadership Dinner” was held at the home of billionaire investor John Paulson.
“Tonight will be an incredible night for President Trump and the Republican Party, raising an astounding $50.5 million,” Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump campaign senior advisors. “Meanwhile, after locking up the nomination in one of the fastest primaries in modern political history, Donald J. Trump is winning poll after poll and proving that the enthusiasm is on his side. It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5.”
“The success of tonight’s event is proving what we already know: Americans are fed up with Biden’s record of failure, from the open southern border and sky-high inflation to the migrant crime crisis that has made everyone less safe,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairman Lara Trump said. “The Republican Party is united behind the effort to elect President Donald J. Trump, and Americans are lining up to join our movement and retire Crooked Joe Biden once and for all.”
