Posted to Trump’s Truth Social account: In the final week leading up to the FIRST VOTE of the 2024 election, there’s nothing I’d rather be doing than spending every one of those days on the campaign trail speaking directly with voters like YOU.

“Crooked Joe is staging his pathetic pathetic fearmongering campaign event in Pennsylvania today. Did you see him? He was stuttering through the whole thing.
