Juno News - Trump rally in Florida held lessons for Canada

00:00:00.040 Love him or hate him, Donald Trump sure knows how to draw a crowd. On Saturday, the Donald's

00:00:10.320 Freedom Rally came to town in Fort Lauderdale and some 12,000 people were there. They waited

00:00:17.100 the entire day after a succession of very articulate speakers to hear the 45th president speak. And he

00:00:24.240 did not disappoint. He took direct aim at his successor, Joe Biden, who he said, repeatedly to

00:00:30.860 greater pause and cheers, is messing up the country. What do you think of Biden's track record so far?

00:00:38.440 Is there less than failing? Yes. Less than failing. He was a failure from the get-go.

00:00:44.900 What do you think of Biden's track record so far? Oh, he's a disaster. He's a train wreck.

00:00:50.360 The only campaign promise that he's kept so far is that he promised to shut down drilling in

00:00:56.980 America. And he kept that one, damn it. I didn't even know it was going to be this bad. I mean,

00:01:01.860 I knew it was going to be bad. I told you it was going to be bad. Who knew it was going to be this

00:01:07.940 bad? Trump spoke about the southern border crisis, the oil crisis, inflation, and dangerous liberal

00:01:15.280 concepts that are making their way into both American and Canadian classrooms. They're indoctrinated

00:01:21.300 kids as young as five. I'm talking about critical race theory and gender ideology. Trump insisted,

00:01:28.800 and the crowd loudly agreed, that if he were president, there would be no war in the Ukraine.

00:01:34.600 That Vladimir Putin has struck because he sees Biden as a weak president.

00:01:39.340 Do you think that there would be a war in Ukraine if Trump were president?

00:01:43.520 No, because Biden enabled that by shutting down our oil and gas, which drove up the price

00:01:48.020 of oil, which enriched Putin, which allowed him to send his army in. Also, Biden's weakness

00:01:52.360 on Afghanistan showed Putin that Biden wouldn't stand against him. So, yeah, weakness brings war.

00:02:01.380 The people I spoke to, both inside the rally and outside the venue, said they came because

00:02:08.360 they were very concerned about the direction America is heading. I think that's a concern

00:02:13.420 that we as Canadians should also have under our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. While Trump

00:02:18.460 did not mention Trudeau specifically, others who attended sure did. What do you think of

00:02:23.960 our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau? He's a communist. He has betrayed your country, your walls,

00:02:32.080 imprisoned your people, and stole their money.

00:02:33.980 It was truly an experience, but it suggested to me Trump is getting set to run again in 2024.

00:02:41.660 For True North, I'm Sue Ann Levy.
