Donald Trump Suggested that convicted drug dealers should be given death penalty during sober-toned speech Las Vegas Friday night.
He also said that his former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is in hospital with a “heart problem” just days after being summoned in an election fraud investigation by Georgia prosecutors in Fulton County.
Former New York City mayor is ‘recovering,’ Trump said, ‘can you believe it? What did he give to Rudy?’
However, Giuliani’s lawyer later told NBC that he was already out of the hospital after receiving a heart stent earlier this week.
Speaking with his hands firmly on the podium, the former president called the United States a ‘failed nation’. Crime rate in large cities and increase of migrants on the southern border.
He also painted a dark picture of violence in US cities, claiming that ‘elderly women are being raped’ and children being brutally slaughtered in an unusually serious tone.
‘To put it simply, we are a nation in decline. We are a failed nation,’ Trump said.
He claimed that the country was in the grip of a “deadly wave of anarchy and anarchy”.
“Our country has come down on its knees, humiliated before the world, yet we envision other people in other countries lecturing on their democracies,” Trump said.
He followed up with a statement that first appeared to tease the 2024 bid.
‘So it’s a bit controversial. And I’ll either get a standing ovation – and I don’t care about the ovation, I care about the country – or people are going to run out of room for what I’m about to say. But it is finally time to say it,’ said the former president.
‘If you look at countries around the world, the only countries that do not have a drug problem are those who provide the death penalty for drug dealers.’
The former president delivered an unusually dark speech where he described ‘blood’ running down the streets of Democrat-run cities

He added, ‘They are the only ones who have no problem with them.’
‘We just wish, it’s so simple, a great country again. And we have to make a safe country.
Explaining what he believes is the unusually dark toll of rising crime, Trump claimed that Democrat-run cities were rife with rape and murder crimes. He also blamed President Joe Biden’s policies for fueling the wave of violence.
‘The blood of these victims is almost exclusively in these Democrat strongholds. Children are being murdered, elderly women are being shot in the face and raped,’ Trump said.
‘Elderly women are being raped. Children are being mutilated with knives. As a candidate, Joe Biden helped lead his party’s hate campaign against our police officers, and then he took the rioters’ agenda straight to the White House.’
He said Biden’s recent executive order to increase police accountability – which includes banning chokeholds, prohibiting no-knock warrants, among other measures – was “maligning police departments”.
Trump accused Biden of ‘staffing his administration with an army of anti-police fanatics’, despite the president’s voice on the left that his closest advisers may have been too liberal on the issue.
He also used the concerns of a crime wave to smuggle another president.
Trump said his former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is in hospital with a ‘heart problem’ after he was presented by Georgia prosecutors in his ongoing election fraud investigation.
Task number one for the new Republican Congress will be to stop this extreme agenda on the right track. We want law and order,’ Trump said.
‘And then we need to elect a Republican president in 2024 to end Joe Biden’s reign of anarchy.’
A recent report suggested that violent crimes are increasing at an alarming rate over the past year.

During the speech, Trump once again took aim at New York Attorney General Letitia James, his frequent political foe as a Democrat official launched an investigation into her family’s real estate empire in 2019.
He and his two eldest children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., have agreed to testify in James’s civil investigation into whether the Trump Organization committed financial fraud by misrepresenting the value of his assets. The date for his statement has been set for next Friday, July 15.
Trump suggested in Friday night’s speech that James’ investigation was a violation of his civil rights.
Trump told his supporters, ‘We have to eliminate every single street gang, cartel and violent criminal organization operating in America. Prosecutors, no easy task, have to go after these violent criminals and really mean it.’
‘However, in many cases, racist prosecutors must also be vigorously investigated for open violations of federal civil rights laws.’
New York Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating the Trump Organization since 2019. He summoned Donald Trump and his two eldest children late last year.
Hitting James outright, he said: ‘It’s happening to me, in New York, with a racist attorney general who campaigned solely on the fact that he would get Donald Trump’
‘I said, who is this woman? is he crazy? dash. No, many,’ he said as the crowd laughed.
Trump began his rally with a video montage that began with clips falsely suggesting that defaming the police is a goal for mainstream National Democrats.
It ends with optimistic, cinematic music and Trump’s promise: ‘We will succeed.’
But his rally got off to an awkward start as the former president began with a tribute to the recently slain ex-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe – but drowned out by his intro song, Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.”
Republicans see Nevada as rife with weak blue seats that they may flip in the upcoming midterm.
Trump is in Las Vegas to campaign for former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who is now running to oust Democrat Senator Catherine Cortez Masto in November.
He is also stumping for Nevada gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo. Clark County Sheriff Lombardo won the Republican nomination with Trump’s endorsement and will now face incumbent Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak.
Both races are considered toss-ups. Lombardo is only two points behind Sisolak in FiveThirtyEight’s polling average.
A Change Research survey from late June shows Cortez Masto is on a small lead of three percent.

There, the former president is voicing support for Republican Senate candidate Kelly Shibaka and House nominee Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and one-time vice presidential nominee.
While Palin is running to fill the seat of the late Representative Don Young, who died this year, Tshibaka is looking to remove incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski.
Murkowski is a fellow Republican who angered Trump by voting to plead guilty in his second impeachment trial.
The high-profile primary race will take place on 16 August.
