—
7:56 PM: Trump says Biden and Harris’s anti-police rhetoric is inciting riots and putting officers in danger. He says Biden will “obliterate” Medicare with mass amnesty and free health care and free education for illegal immigrants. He says tens of millions of more people will come for the free health care and education.
7:55 PM: Trump now talking about how Rush Limbaugh is a “fighter.” He says Rush is “having a hard time” and “he is something special.” He marvels that Rush got the biggest audience ever just talking for three hours, which Trump says is a lot more difficult than doing phone interviews.
7:52 PM: Trump mocks Obama for campaigning for Biden after refusing to back him in the primaries. Trump says it’s good news for him because there was nobody who campaigned harder for Crooked Hillary than Obama.
7:46 PM: Trump says the Biden Center has received millions from China and “explosive emails” show Hunter was negotiating with a Chinese firm tied to the Chinese Communist Party to receive $10 million a year for introductions. He says the media and Big Tech are trying to cover up this “massive scandal.” Trump says he is running against the corrupt media, Big Tech giants, and the Washington Swamp. He asks voters to deliver Biden a “thundering defeat” on November 3.
7:45 PM: Trump says Big Tech takes people out when they share bad stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
7:43 PM: Trump reminds voters that Biden has spent 47 years outsourcing jobs, opening borders, and sacrificing American blood and treasure in “endless foreign wars.” He rips the “military industrial complex” and the troops who are acting like a “police force” overseas are “all coming home.”
7:40 PM: Trump warns Biden is going to raise your taxes by $4 trillion, which Trump says will trigger a “mass exodus” of jobs. He says Biden’s tax hikes will wipe out 25 percent of all U.S. investments and 401Ks and pensions will be “demolished.” Trump says the country will go into a depression the likes of which you haven’t seen since 1929. He says Biden will put “all the regulations back on” and re-join the Paris Accord.
Trump says when he got out, the people understood immediately that the deal was “taking their wealth away.”
Trump says he thought the deal was a tough one to get out of and says he closed his eyes and signed the paperwork to get out of it.
7:35 PM: Trump ripping “watermelon head” and “dummy” Adam Schiff for diminishing Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” and saying “Russia caused this.” He says Schiff should be locked up.
7:32 PM: Nearly four years later, Trump still insists he had a bigger inauguration crowd than Barack Obama. He’s now criticizing the Washington Post’s Dave Weigel for putting a fake news photo of his crowd size hours before his event took place.
7:30 PM: Trump says he had to beat Big Tech, the RINOs, the pundits and consultants, the deep staters and the swamp. Trump says the “sick” and “sad” pundits and consultants he defeated in 2016 “have never gotten over it.”
7:27 PM: Trump says you must defeat Sleepy Joe Biden and the radical left if you want children to grow up in a free nation where they can speak their minds and practice their religion and live by their values.
He says you must reject left-wing radicalism.
7:26 PM: Trump says kids have “stronger immune system” and are “very powerful” when talking about opening up schools. He says he never realized how strong kids were until his son Barron recovered from the Coronavirus.
Trump says Democrats will censor, punish and persecute for violating their speech codes.
7:23 PM: Trump says the media only ask Biden about his favorite ice cream flavors. He didn’t give an answer after Fox News asked him about his favorite milkshake favor though.
7:20 PM: Trump talking about stopping projects, low-income housing, and crime from going into the suburbs. Trump claims he was never begging for women to love him and says he has a “surprise” for 60 Minutes. He says he was being sarcastic.
7:18 PM: Trump says the election is a choice between a “Trump boom” and a “Biden lockdown.” He wants North Carolina to open.

7:17 PM: Trump says all the news outlets talk about is “COVID, COVID, COVID,” because they want to “scare” people.
7:15 PM: Trump says the deep state, the Democrats, and all of the people he’s been dealing with are “getting a little bit nervous” because he’s going to win North Carolina in 13 days and four more years in the White House.
7:10 PM: Trump takes the stage to get the rally started.
“This is one helluva big crowd,” Trump says.

Thousands have arrived at Gastonia Municipal Airport for President Donald Trump's 7 pm arrival. A lot of excited supporters with some telling me this is their first-ever presidential rally. Cell signal spotty. Few mask wearers and no social distancing. @wcncpic.twitter.com/0cjWiqXK7Y
