Yet again, GOP frontrunner and former President Donald Trump decided not to attend the Republican debate, choosing instead to hold a 7 P.M. rally at the Ted Hendricks Stadium in Hialeah, Florida. His rally was just 10 miles away from third GOP debate, which was scheduled to begin at 8 P.M. at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami.

A cowboy hat-wearing Roseanne Barr took the stage ahead of the 45th President, excitedly telling the crowd it was her first Trump rally. She told everyone to pray for liberals in America who have been brainwashed by “the regime.” Barr was followed by Kimberly Guilfoyle and then her fiancé Don Jr., who mocked Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for freezing up while speaking and caused the audience to start a “Bull-shit! Bull-shit!” chant about inflation and the Ukraine War.

Trump’s appearance was delayed. It would seem that there was a scheduling error and Trump did not want to take the stage at 7:00PM ET but rather at 8:00PM ET – when the Republican debate began. But at 8:10PM, former Press Secretary and current governor of Arkansas Sara Huckabee Sanders came out instead.

Trump finally came out at 8:20PM ET to his favorite rally entrance song, Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American.”

Trump began by reminiscing about the 2016 election, saying it was the most important in history besides 2024, which will be even more important. He described his first term as a war against the “bloodsucking” globalists who outsourced all of America’s jobs, and described the current administration under “crooked Joe Biden” as the “political class clawing its way back” into power, turning America into “communist Cuba.”

  • Trump claimed his movement is not destroying democracy but “saving” it, while Biden and the Democrats are turning the American system into a communist regime like “Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and so many other countries.”
  • He said under his administration “Israel and Ukraine would’ve never happened,” and interestingly blamed current inflation on “energy policy” (he repeated this talking point later in the rally as well).
  • Trump condemned the pro-Hamas mobs in Washington, D.C. while taking credit for the new and improved fence outside the White House. He said, “in times like these we can’t afford to have a president who is politically correct.”

  • He said he wants to implement E-Verify and other technologies to vet people at the border in order to ensure they are not terrorists. He promised to stop the “illegal invasion” on day one of his ’24 term. He said under Biden America has become the “dumping ground” for the world, with other countries freeing their insane asylum and prison inmates into America through the southern border.
  • He claimed the largest migrant caravan of all time is currently marching toward the border.
  • Trump retold how he used an “old law,” the “only good kinds of laws” as our current laws are “for a weak country that doesn’t want to tell people what to do,” to prevent the tearing down of historical statues.

  • Trump cited the recent New York Times/Siena College poll that shows him leading Biden in every swing state. He brought attention to the fact that he’s leading among Hispanic voters, Black voters, and young voters.

  • He made fun of GOP candidate Nikki Haley, again calling her “bird brain,” for going back on her word to run against him. He said the worst people “by far” are politicians, far worse than businesspeople.
  • He defended his choice to skip the debate, saying that standing in front of “10,00 people” is better than the debating the lackluster Republican candidates.

  • The crowd began to chant “Roomba, Roomba” as Trump made fun of Biden for not being able to navigate himself off a stage. They were referencing a joke told by Don Jr. earlier in the night, who was quoting comedian Shane Gillis’ joke (Jr. couldn’t remember who told it) that Biden looks like a Roomba vacuum machine when he tries to find his way toward the exit.
  • He didn’t mention candidate Vivek Ramaswamy by name, but suggested he was the best candidate at the debate tonight. He approved of Vivek saying he was the “younger version” of Trump, but joked, “we prefer the older version, don’t we?”
  • Trump criticized Obama-appointed judges for behaving impartially, and attributed this unfairness to the unsuccessful attempt by Kari Lake to prove voter fraud in her election.
  • He gave a shout out to UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal, a fan of “MAGA” who was in the audience. He also shouted out audience members Laura Loomer, a controversial and deplatformed culture warrior in the “alt-lite” movement, and Lil Pump, a mumble rapper that vocally supports Trump to the point where he made a song about him.
  • Trump promised that America will “drill baby drill” when he gets in office, blowing past Biden-era environmental regulations.
  • He said he would protect society security and Medicare for senior citizens, unlike Biden who allegedly wanted to cut them.
  • He promised to overhaul the DOJ and direct them to investigate every “Marxist” public prosecutor (DA) in the country.
  • He said he would “obliterate” the deep state.
  • He said the first day of his presidency he would cut all federal funding for schools that teach critical race theory and transgender content.
  • He said he would remove all federal dollars from schools with vaccine and mask mandates.
  • He said he will keep men out of women’s sports.
  • He said he would “fully uphold” the second amendment.
  • He said he would guarantee election integrity and ban mail-in balloting.
  • All of a sudden, a sorrowful piano and violence piece began to play over the loudspeakers as Trump went into a monologue about American decline, highlighting economic troubles, energy restrictions, drugs, crime, Biden corruption, and the emboldening of foreign adversaries. He then took things in a positive direction with a series of affirmations about making America great again, concluding the night.
