A statement from the Save America PAC said the rally would mark ‘President Trump’s first of many appearances in support of candidates and causes that further the MAGA agenda and accomplishments of President Trump’s administration’
The event is being sponsored by the Save America movement.
A statement from the Save America PAC said the rally would mark ‘President Trump’s first of many appearances in support of candidates and causes that further the MAGA agenda and accomplishments of President Trump’s administration.’
Lara Brown, director of the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University, told USA Today that the events will allow Trump ‘to reconnect with his supporters, which also means gathering and updating the contact information that his political team has for those who attend his rallies.’
On his website, Trump said of the Save America movement: ‘Over the past four years, my administration delivered for Americans of all backgrounds like never before.
‘Save America is about building on those accomplishments, supporting the brave conservatives who will define the future of the America First Movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country.
‘Save America is also about ensuring that we always keep America First, in our foreign and domestic policy. We take pride in our country, we teach the truth about our history, we celebrate our rich heritage and national traditions, and of course, we respect our great American Flag.’
It comes as Trump has admitted defeat in the 2020 election for the first time, stating: ‘We didn’t win.’
‘We were supposed to win easily, 64 million votes,’ said Trump.
Donald Trump on Wednesday night appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, to provide his assessment of Joe Biden’s first foreign trip. He said that Biden had given away too much to Vladimir Putin, and said Europe was continuing to ‘screw’ the United States
Hannity asked his friend what he felt about Biden’s performance and cognitive ability, with the 75-year-old Trump being careful not to criticize his 78-year-old successor for being too old
‘We got 75 million votes, and we didn’t win, but let’s see what happens on that.’
He made the comments on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
Trump’s comments would appear to end seven months of his disputing the November 6 election, although his caveat of ‘let’s see what happens’ does appear to leave open a flicker of hope of overturning the result – something which now seems incredibly unlikely.
Trump said that the five months of a Biden presidency were showing voters why he should have been re-elected.
Also on Wednesday, Trump accused Joe Biden of capitulating to Russia, concluding that the president ‘got nothing’ from his meeting in Geneva with Vladimir Putin.
Trump said that, in addition to gaining nothing, Biden had given up the ‘unbelievably valuable’ Nord Stream pipeline.
The U.S. president last month lifted sanctions against the against the company and CEO behind the nearly completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would transport natural gas from Russia to Germany.
The pipeline is already more than 90 per cent complete, and Biden concluded that it was not worth antagonizing Germany over. Others, such as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, argued that sanctions should be maintained, to avoid giving the impression of giving in to the Kremlin.
Joe Biden is seen in Geneva on Wednesday, holding a news conference shortly after his meeting with Vladimir Putin concluded
‘I guess the overall is we did not get anything,’ he said.
‘We gave a very big stage to Russia, and we got nothing.
‘We gave up something that was unbelievably valuable.
‘I stopped the pipeline, Nord stream, and that pipeline was stopped. And it was given back, and nothing was gotten for it.
‘And it was just, it was another day.’
