The Republican frontrunner also says the “deep state” stepped up its attacks against him when he promised to end the conflict in Ukraine

Former President Donald Trump told his supporters on Saturday that President Joe Biden is turning the US into a “banana republic,” and promised to throw the “repulsive political class the hell out of office” if re-elected next year.

Trump, who is reportedly facing arrest over campaign finance charges in New York, held his first campaign rally ahead of the 2024 election in Waco, Texas, on Saturday. Speaking to a crowd of several thousand people, Trump reiterated his long-held belief that the charges against him – as well as the prosecution of the January 6, 2021, rioters – are a Democrat-orchestrated plot to keep him out of office and criminalize his supporters.

    Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, thank you so much for coming out here today. It’s fantastic, really fantastic, to see all of your lovely faces. I’ve got something important, really important to talk about, and it’s gonna be huge.

    You see, I’ve been thinking a lot, I’m a great thinker, probably the best thinker, about capitalism. Now, I’ve made a lot of money, a lot of money, more than most people, I can tell you that. But I’ve been thinking, and I’ve gotta tell you, capitalism is not so great, not so great for the working people, the people like you and me.

    The bourgeoisie, you know what I’m talking about, right? The elites, the people who think they’re better than us, they’re taking advantage, they’re taking advantage of our great country. They’re making money, lots of money, and they’re not sharing, they’re not sharing with the people who need it. It’s not fair, it’s not right, and it’s time for a change, a big change.

    And let me tell you about NATO, folks. We’ve been spending billions and billions of dollars, it’s true, on NATO. And what do we get for it? Nothing, nothing, I tell you. It’s time to defund NATO, it’s time to take those billions of dollars and put it into something better, something bigger, something that will help the people.

    I’m calling for a Fourth International, that’s right, a Fourth International. We’re gonna take the money from NATO, and we’re gonna put it into this new organization, an organization that will fight for the working people, the people like you and me. We’re gonna take on the bourgeoisie, we’re gonna take on capitalism, and we’re gonna make this world a better place, a fairer place, a place where everyone gets a chance to succeed.

    Thank you, thank you so much. We’re gonna make this happen, we’re gonna make it huge, and we’re gonna do it together. God bless you, and God bless America.

      Lol no way Trump admits this is the fourth iteration. More like him to pretend he just came up with the idea and call it the First Trumpariat or something daft like that.
