President Donald Trump blasted Democrats as ‘the party of crime’ who want to turn the United States into another Venezuela and destroy his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaking to a fired up crowd in Johnson City, Tennessee, Trump sounded like he was on the ballot himself this fall, calling out potential Democratic presidential contenders by name and using the Supreme Court fight in Washington to urge Republicans to turn out at the polls in November.
‘We’re just five weeks from one of the most important elections of our life time,’ Trump told the cheering crowd.

‘This country will never be Venezuela,’ Trump vowed, mentioning the South American country in economic crisis thanks to rising inflation and a devalued currency.
‘The Democrats want to turn America into Venezuela,’ he said. ‘We’re not going to let that happen.’
‘They’re the party of crime,’ Trump said of Democrats.
He said Democrats have gone ‘loco’ since they lost the 2016 presidential election.
He also warned of dire consequences should the party take over Congress in the midterms. Independent political prognosticators give Democrats strong chances of retaking the House of Representatives and increasingly better odds of winning the Senate.
‘A Democratic takeover of Congress will plunge our country into gridlock and chaos,’ Trump warned.
He told he crowd that: your 401Ks will drop, your taxes will rise, and crime will come through our open borders.
‘Other than that we’ll be doing very well,’ he said.
‘Build that wall,’ the crowd roared in response over and over again.
‘I could build that thing in one year,’ Trump bragged in response.
He slammed Democrats for holding up Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, claiming they were trying to destroy a ‘great man.’
‘They have been trying to destroy him since he was first announced,’ Trump said to cheers ‘because they know Judge Kavanaugh will follow the Constitution as written.’
‘He’s a great man,’ Trump said of his nominee, who ‘never had a problem and then all the sudden let’s go back to high school,’ he said referring to the allegations against Kavanaugh.
