CLIVE, IOWA: President Donald Trump delivered a strong speech ahead of this year’s midterm elections. He pointed to what he called his administration’s strong economic performance. He said, “We can't forget what the group of morons did to the country,” and warned about criminals entering the country. He said stopping them was a priority for protecting America.

Trump links border security to importance of winning midterms

Speaking at a rally in Iowa, Trump told supporters that the midterm elections are crucial for Republicans and well as for Democrats. Turning to social and border issues, POTUS outlined what he opposed and what he viewed as the administration’s biggest challenge. He argued that border security outweighed other policy concerns.

“You know, we're not going to be supporting transgender and open borders. The worst is open borders because you know, that I take care of things, and you know, inflation, I had to beat very quickly and all. But this open border thing, just a lot of work taking criminals and that they allowed into our country, where the jails are opened up.”

Trump went on to accuse other countries of releasing prisoners and allowing them to cross into the United States. He said voters should remember these actions when heading to the polls.

“Remember the jails, the prisons all over from all over the world. They're opening up the Congo all over South America, Venezuela. They opened up their jails. We've got to get them out. I mean, we can never forget what that group of morons did to this country," he said. "Never forget, and that's why we've got to win. As we bring trillions of dollars pouring into our country from overseas, we're also making America affordable again.”
