WASHINGTON: After being accused by Democrats of being a chaotic and dishonest leader, President Donald Trump countered on Friday that Democrats, not he, would bring chaos to the United States if Joe Biden wins the White House in November.
He said police had been weakened in"Democrat-run" cities and cited a spike in murders in Chicago, Minneapolis, New York and Philadelphia. He urged Americans to turn back"radical left socialists and Marxists.""So the future of our country and indeed our civilisation is at stake on Nov 3," he said in the speech in Arlington, Virginia, to the 2020 Council for National Policy.
Democrats sought to present a diverse, united front with the integrity and faith they said Trump lacks. He also suggested, without providing an explanation or evidence, that the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives could become president if the results of the Nov 3 election were not clear by the end of the year.
“The economy is on the ballot. Law and order is on the ballot, and the American people know it,” Pence said."We lost 22 million jobs in the course of this coronavirus pandemic. But because of the solid foundation that President Trump poured of less taxes, less regulation, more American energy, more free and fair trade, we've seen 9 million Americans already go back to work," Pence told CBS"This Morning.
