At his rallies, Donald Trump warns of the downfall of America, insults his opponents and spreads lies. He follows a pattern – but has also recently shown weaknesses.
Donald Trump loves the stage. When the spotlight is on him and thousands of fans are cheering him on, he is in his element. His rallies have become his political brand essence. The events take place in sports arenas and convention centers. Visitors often queue for hours. They wear Trump shirts and red caps with “Make America Great Again.” And they burst into cheers when the first bars of Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” – Trump’s enema song – are heard.
Since June, the 78-year-old Trump has appeared like this 60 times, most recently in the important swing states. He begins his final week of campaigning this Sunday at the famous Madison Square Garden in New York. Election campaign rallies have a long tradition in the USA. But just as Trump is no ordinary politician, his speeches are by no means ordinary.
