TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) -President Donald Trump attacked his critics, promoted his steel and aluminum tariffs and tossed out an idea to have drug dealers face the death penalty, addressing a raucous rally on Saturday for a Republican congressional candidate in a tight race.
Trump’s appearance was aimed at helping Republican Rick Saccone in a district Trump won overwhelmingly in 2016 as part of a narrow win in Pennsylvania.
But while he heartily endorsed Saccone as a “really good person,” Trump spent a lot of time talking about his own fortunes in a “Make America Great Again” rally in an airport hangar at the Pittsburgh International Airport.
He said it was crucial for Republicans to muster forces to turn back a strong Democratic drive to win one or both houses of the U.S. Congress in November midterm elections.
“We need Republicans. We need the vote,” Trump said, saying Democrats would take away, among other things, “your Second Amendment rights” to bear firearms.
Continuing his battle against the mainstream news media, Trump insulted NBC News’ “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd and Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters.
Under pressure over a scandal involving a porn star named Stormy Daniels, Trump singled out his wife, Melania, for praise.
“You think her life is so easy folks? Not so easy,” he said.
Trump said the country should discuss having drug dealers face the death penalty because they are responsible for thousands of deaths.
“I don’t know if that’s popular. I don’t know if that’s unpopular.”
