Trump cautions US approaching ‘World War III’ because of Biden-Harris admin’s foreign policy failures

He told Sean Hannity and the audience in the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, "We're heading into World War III territory, and because of the power of weapons, nuclear weapons in particular, but other weapons also, and I know the weapons better than anybody because I'm the one that bought them.”

Trump touted his record of strengthening of the US military saying, "We rebuilt our entire military. We upgraded our entire program. And, you know, the one program I hated to upgrade, hated it, was the nuclear program. And I understand it maybe better than anybody. My uncle was at MIT, a professor, the longest serving professor in the history of MIT. Very smart guy. We have a smart family. It's nice to have a smart family, but I knew, I understood, nuclear for a long time. The power of nuclear weapons. You need a president that's not going to be taking you into war."

Trump added, "We won't have World War III when I'm elected. But with these clowns that you have in there now, you're going to end up having World War III, and it's going to be a war … like no other."

Since the decision by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Trump said that if he were in office the conflicts would not have happened. "We have things going on in the world right now with Israel and with the Middle East. … It's blowing up. We have Ukraine and Russia. That would never happen. That would have never happened. October 7th would have never happened if I were the president. It would have never happened. And everybody knew it. Iran was broke. They didn't have the money for Hamas and for Hezbollah. They didn't have the money for anybody. They wanted to get by, and we would have made a fair deal with them.”

Hannity fielded questions from voters in the battleground state during the town hall. Harris rejected participating in a Fox debate on September 17 in Pennsylvania. Trump called out Harris for rejecting the debate.

The GOP nominee also slammed Harris for the illegal immigration crisis at the US Southern Border. "She wants open borders. Now she's all of a sudden, oh, I think we'll close the borders. She was the border czar, whether you like it or not, but even if you don't want to use that term. She was in charge of the border."

Trump added, "And, by the way, women traffickers, you know, women trafficking is the biggest, and they're traffickers in women. And they're coming in now and they're putting them in our Social Security accounts, and they're putting them in Medicare. And just one thing, if you take a look, take a look. Over the last week, I said this was going to happen. And it's happening because these people are tougher than our criminals are, our criminals are nice people by comparison."

Trump noted, "More terrorists have come into the United States in the last three years, than I think probably 50 years. There's never been anything like it. These people are so bad. They're so dangerous. What they've done to our country is they're destroying our country, and we can't let this happen."
