Trump
At the Missoula rally, Trump elaborated on his themes, with supporters behind him holding signs saying ‘FINISH THE WALL” and “DRAIN THE SWAMP”:

  • “What they did to Brett Kavanaugh and his beautiful family is a national disgrace that will not be soon forgotten. Remember that![Applause.] And come Election Day, Americans will remember Kavanaugh.”
  • “[A] lot of money’s been passing through people to come up and try and get to the border by Election Day, because they think that’s a negative for us. Number one, they’re being stopped. And number two: Regardless, that’s our issue.”
  • “As you know, I’m willing to send the military to defend our southern border if necessary.”[Cheering.]
  • On illegal immigration: “I will say I have caused the problem. I’m taking full blame. You know why? [Pausing to imagine the reaction.] Everyone’s, like, in shock. … Hey look, ‘Fake News’ [indicating cameras in the back]: It’s my problem. I caused it. Because I have created such an incredible economy, I have created so many jobs, I’ve made this country and you so great, that everybody wants to come in! So they’re all pouring in, or trying to.” Axios
