Trump leads oath at rally and calls himself greatest president

Estados Unidos president Donald Trump has called on supporters to raise their right hand and repeat a pledge to vote in midterm elections during a Republican convention in Dallas, Texas, on Friday. Trump led the audience to pledge support for him and claimed he was “the greatest president in the history of the Estados Unidos.”

“Rise your right hand and repeat with me,” he said. Then the crowd attending the event repeated the words led by the president, at a time marked by red, blue, white and gold balloons.

Collective Oath and Voting Promise

At the oath, Trump asked supporters to pledge to go out to vote on Nov. 3, accompanied by family and friends. The speech took place during the second day of the Republican Party convention, aimed at mobilizing for the midterm elections.

Shortly before, he had asked supporters to “cheat like hell” during the elections and that those who did not vote in the polls “go to hell”. The declaration generated immediate repercussions and raised questions about the president’s rhetoric regarding the integrity of the electoral process.

Context of midterm elections

The midterm elections, known in the Estados Unidos as midterms, are scheduled for November. The U.S. will elect the 435 members of the House of Representatives, as well as about a third of the members of the Senate.

The dispute will be important for Trump’s second term because control of the two Houses of Congress influences the government’s ability to move forward with its legislative agenda. Today, Republicans control the House and Senate. Election polls, however, have indicated the possibility of Democrats taking back control of the House.

Dividend promise of $5,000

“If Republicans win the House of Representatives and Senate of Estados Unidos, both ... because of our enormous strength and economic success, I will award a dividend of $5,000 to every adult citizen of America’s Estados Unidos,” Trump said.

Trump said the money would have to be spent within the Estados Unidos, but did not provide details on the implementation of the measure. If the country’s approximately 270 million adults received $5,000, the potential cost would be approximately $1.3 trillion. Trump has not yet explained where the funds would come from or defined the criteria for receiving the payment.

Impact and controversy

Trump’s talk of “cheating” in the election has drawn criticism from analysts and the opposition, who see the statement as an incentive for illegal practices. The dividend promise was also received with skepticism, given the absence of details on financing and fiscal viability.

The Dallas event reinforced Trump’s campaign tone, which seeks to mobilize his base for midterms. The Republican convention had as main focus the mobilization of voters, with speeches focused on the economy and national security.

Next steps

With the November elections approaching, it is expected that Trump will intensify his agenda of rallies and party events. The struggle for control of Congress is expected to dominate the political news in the coming weeks, with a direct impact on the governability of the second term.
