Remarks: Donald Trump Holds a Virtual Tele-Rally for Michigan GOP Candidates - October 31, 2026

[Laughs] That's great.

Thanks.

Thank you very much, Mike. And I don't mind that. You know, the next -- I'd love to do that, actually. Let's start that movement.

[Laughs]

But, uh, we're doing, we're doing well. We're doing -- our country is so hot. We're the hottest country here, anywhere in the world. Anywhere in the world, there's nobody. They're all talking. We had a dead country two years ago. Everybody was saying we're the king of Saudi Arabia. We had the heads of every country.

They said we were a dead country. Now they say we're the hottest country any- -- anywhere in the world. And a big part of it is your election, Mike. And, uh, you're gonna do, I think, incredibly. I just saw a good poll that was just released. I think you're gonna do something that's gonna be really magic, very important.

And I just wanna say hello to Michigan. I won Michigan by a big number and we had a great election there. And we did, uh, previously also. We've done well in the state. The auto workers love us. I brought back the auto business like nobody's ever seen before. Nobody. We have more auto plants being built in our country now than at any time in the history of our country.

And we went 49 years without a plant. They all were leaving, not coming in. 49 years without a plant being built, and now we're building more plants than ever before. Audi just announced a 400, I'll tell you what, a 400 million, and then they're gonna add, they're gonna do something at 400, but they're gonna do a $40 billion plant producing 250,000 cars a year.

That's Audi. And we have 19 others building auto plants. So the auto workers love us. The Teamsters love us. The right-to-workers love us. And, uh, we won, we won everything. We won everything. And Michigan was one of them. And I really, I'll tell you what, I really appreciate the kind of support that we were given.

You know, we were, and it was really something. It was a special, very special moment, 2024. I think, uh, it made us hot again as a country. And, uh, we're just three days away from the most important midterm election of our lives and the most important Senate election in the history of your state by far.

You need to defeat Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed and elect Mike Rogers. He's abs- -- he, he's absolutely an incredible person, respected by everybody. And he has to go to the U.S. Senate. We cannot have somebody that's gonna have to go through metal detectors to be sitting there. This guy has the worst reputation, the Abdul, the worst reputation of anybody that you can, it's not even imaginable that he can be even doing this.

Also vote for John James for governor, Bill Huizenga for 4th Congressional District. Bill's a great friend of mine. Mike Bouchard -- they're all friends. Mike Bouchard for the 10th and reelect Congressman Tom Barrett in the 7th. He's fantastic. I'm also asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot, because when I'm on the ballot, I get almost 50% more votes.

We won every, every time I'm on the ballot, we had big landslide victories. When I'm not, 50% of the people stay home. I really am on the ballot, because we have no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, no tax on overtime. I mean, all of this stuff is good. We have the strongest border, by the way, strongest border in the history of our country.

We've gone now 18 months with zero, it's hard to believe, actually, but people that lean left [Laughs] make these things. Zero people have come in through our southern border. We had 25 million people come in under the Biden administration. We're not gonna let that ever happen again. It's the hardest thing.

We also inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country and the highest prices. And you know, they like to talk about the, uh, prices, but we're, the prices, you saw it today, it just came out. Prices are coming way down, and the oil, as soon as we're finished with, we had a big victory in Venezuela.

We're taking in millions and millions of barrels of oil and, uh, that was a one-day war. And we're doing extremely well with Iran. It shoulda been done by other presidents. It's been going on for 51 years. And they started the war 51 years ago. You look at the SS Cole, you look at all the, the people they killed, all of our soldiers and many others, many others.

A very evil group, and they, they cannot have a nuclear weapon, and they won't have a nuclear weapon. That's already, frankly, that's already been decided by our great B-2 bombers when we bombed the hell out of their nuclear potential. So early voting starts tomorrow. Election Day is November 3rd, as you know, and we need Mike Rogers so badly.

Mohamed El-Sayed. He's a jihadist. His mother worked for an organization, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Osama bin Laden, who knocked down the World Trade Center. His sister celebrated the terrorist slaughter of innocent babies on October 7th and loved it. His father sits on the board of an organization that funnels money to Saddam Hussein after the 9/11 disaster.

His father-in-law leads a group for Muslim Brotherhood. He's a big Mu- -- Muslim Brotherhood. And so is Abdul. He's a, he's 100% Muslim brother. You have to look at his notes from before a year ago. You know, once he ran, he sort of tried to clean up his act, but it didn't, I don't think it worked well. We're gonna know on Tuesday.

But, uh, I can't imagine it worked. I'll tell you what, if you're Jewish or if you're Black, if you vote for Abdul, you're crazy. A terrorist organization banned in eight Muslim countries is the Muslim Brotherhood and he's absolutely 100% for it. His sister-in-law was placed on the terror watch list, and strongly placed.

Now I think she probably got off 'cause she had a good lawyer. And you know, government doesn't like to fight so much, so they take her up. But they were s- -- her sister-in-law was on the terrorist watch list. Abdul himself signed a letter supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and strongly supporting it. And the copies of the letter are now all over the place, tried to hide it. And he campaigned with a communist agitator who says that America deserved 9/11. That's the way it is. He deserved it. We didn't, didn't deserve.

We don't deserve the, the horror show that we'll have with him either. Abdul also wants to defund and abolish the police. He was an absolute defunder. And when you want to defund the police, that means you want to defund the police. That means in two days after the election, [Laughs] you just have him come out to defund. 'Cause politicians, I've seen this, I've been doing this not that long on this side, but on the other side, I've been watching it for a long time.

When they say something early, that's what it is. He wants to abolish the heroes of ICE. They're taking murderers and they're taking the toughest people anywhere in the world out of our country. You know, they, we had an open border where, under the Biden administration where people were allowed to just pour into, it was like an invasion of our country, pour into our country.

ICE and Border Patrol and our police. What a job they've done. What a job. And we've gotten a lot of them out. We've got most of them out, but they allowed 11,888 murderers into our country. Many of them murdered more than one person. And these are the people, they wanna abolish all prisons. We want all prisons abolished. [Laughs] Can you imagine, and take away your guns?

They wanna end your Second Amendment, your Second Amendment right. So save Michigan from this embarrassment. Save Michigan from this communist jihadist and go out and v- -- vote for Mike Rogers. I say it about him. He's like Central Casting. He's, he's apple pie. We need a little apple pie right now, everybody.

We need some apple pie. [Laughs] We're tired of these people that have destroyed, look at what's happened in France and all over Europe, the riots and, and that's all, that's not about schools. That's about, uh, immigrants coming in who hate the country and they c- -- they hate our country. You also need to defeat your corrupt radical Democrat candidate for governor, Jocelyn Benson.

She's terrible. The worst, she's one of the worst in the country and vote for combat veteran John James, a very good guy. As Secretary of State in 2020, Jocelyn Benson cheated more than I think anybody in the country on the elections. She wants no prisons. She wants no police to b- -- she wants to cut the hell out of the policeman's salary.

She basically wants to defund the police. She wants open borders like it was. Our country is being destroyed. And to defund the police, she is gonna be a defunder 100%. And she just has the distinction, this is not easy, of getting an F rating from the NRA. So the NRA, not easy to get. That means not just a destruction of the Second Amendment, but she wants no guns.

An F rating is not -- [Laughs] it's hard to get an F rating. An F rating means you won't have any guns. They will take away your guns if she gets in. Michigan also needs Bill Huizenga, a friend of mine for a long time in the U.S. House. Bill is running against radical Democrat Sean McCann in the state Senate.

McCann was a laughed-at person, voted to gut your Second Amendment, just totally gutted, essentially ended and in favor of the green new scam, the, one of the greatest scams. I would say Russia, Russia, Russia may have been a bigger scam actually, but the green new scam, one of the greatest scams in the history of our country where we're all gonna be dead in 12 years.

Remember? Well, I guess we're still living. Sending your energy bill soaring. And vote for Bill Huizenga. He's done a great job and he's gonna continue to do a great job. He's a warrior. We also need to elect Captain Mike Bouchard. Mike's opponent is ultra-radical Democrat prosecutor Christina Hines. And you know who that is. She started with the domestic abusers, cut deals with rapists, dropped the charges against a human trafficker who went on to re-offend and do some bad, bad damage.

This is a radical left lunatic. And Capt. Mike Bouchard, a, a, a hero, uh, respected by everybody. These are great people I'm talking about and they shouldn't even have to think about having to run against people like this. Finally, reelect Tom Barrett. Tom's opponent, William Lawrence, founded the Lansing chapter of the Democrat Society of America.

He wants to defund the police, abolish our borders, and started with a goal of, quote, "Full socialism in the United States of America," and "To destroy the American way of life." He says, I want to, "Destroy the American way of life." He's a communist. He's no good. Vote for Tom Barrett. So, Michigan, you have to go out and vote.

If the people that voted for me vote, we have a landslide for Mike, John James, Bill Huizenga, Mike Bouchard and Tom Barrett. They're unbelievable warriors. They're unbelievable. I want to thank them for running. It's, uh, takes courage to run. I want to tell you, take, takes a lot of courage to run. So do not let the jihadists and the communists and these people destroy our country.

Once again, early voting ends tomorrow, or vote on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd, and go to swampthevoteusa.com for more details if you need them. I think you probably know everything there is to know right now. But I just want to thank everybody and I want to wish you all a lot of luck and I hope I'm going to speak to every one of you on Tuesday night with a very strong congratulations.

And again, I want to thank the people of Michigan for voting so strongly for me and giving us that big win. And, uh, let's give another one and let's keep it going. We have the hottest country anywhere in the world. Everybody says it. We're doing better than we've ever done before with investment in our country.

We created $25 trillion of wealth since my election. Things have happened like we've never, nobody's ever seen anything like it. Let's keep it going. And good luck to everybody. And John, I think I'm going to turn it over to you. Thank you very much, everybody.
