Trump Rallies Small-Town Wisconsin Supporters, Promises Tough Trade Policies and Immigration Crackdowns

Donald Trump, speaking in Mosinee, Wisconsin, focused on strengthening support among working-class and rural white voters, a core demographic of his base. Trump pledged to impose unprecedented tariffs and tighten immigration policies, warning that even U.S. allies, like the European Union, would face new trade restrictions if he wins the 2024 election. He framed migrants as a threat to local residents and claimed, without evidence, that illegal immigrants could soon cause widespread harm. As support for Trump wanes among various demographic groups, particularly Hispanics and Black voters who now favor his opponent, Kamala Harris, the former president is focusing on maintaining his stronghold in Rust Belt states like Wisconsin. Trump’s rhetoric continues to emphasize fears about the future of the U.S., labeling the 2024 election as potentially the nation’s last. The rally precedes a debate against Harris, with his advisors urging him to focus on policy and avoid personal attacks. Trump also hinted at purging federal agencies and accused Colorado’s political leadership of losing control to Venezuelan gangs.
