Donald Trump wrapped up his 2024 campaign in Pennsylvania with a dark, vengeful message. He admitted he shouldn't have left the White House after the 2020 election and claimed the vote was rigged against him. Trump also made alarming remarks about the press and his political rivals. He even joked about a supporter's crude comment about Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump's final campaign push stands out for its negative tone and controversial statements.

Trump's speech was filled with angry rhetoric. He described Democrats as "demonic" and complained about polls showing him behind in Iowa. He also made unfounded claims about election interference and threatened retaliation against his political rivals. Trump even suggested he wouldn't mind if a gunman shot through the "fake news" to reach him. His campaign spokesman later tried to explain this away, saying Trump was concerned for the press's safety.

Trump's closing message is one of the darkest in modern US political history. He's pledged to use the military against civilians and made disturbing remarks about his critics. For instance, he mused about how former Rep. Liz Cheney would fare with guns pointed at her in a warzone. Trump also approved of a supporter's suggestion that Harris worked as a prostitute. This shows a decline in political discourse since Trump entered the scene in 2015.

Trump's message to women has also become stranger. He's been advised not to say he wants to protect women, but he insists on doing so. Recent polls show Trump trailing Harris among female voters. Instead of addressing this, Trump's allies are encouraging more men to vote.

Vice President Harris, on the other hand, focuses on policy and unity. She promises to end the divisiveness that's marked the past decade. Harris aims to restore federal abortion rights and improve the lives of all Americans, not just those who agree with her.
