A photo of a flag with a Trump logo and a swastika circulating on Twitter claiming to be from Donald Trump's presidential rally in Waco, Texas, is false. The photo was taken at an anti-Trump demonstration in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania, in 2022, where the flag was burned by Gene Stilp, a Pennsylvania political activist and Democrat. Newsweek was unable to find instances of the swastika displayed at the rally in Waco.
Former President Donald Trump held his first major campaign stop of the 2024 presidential race in Waco, Texas, where he railed against the Biden administration, his likely top GOP opponent in 2024, and the legal woes he faces. Trump focused less on what he would do for America as president and more on what America could do for him. He attacked the Manhattan district attorney's office and denied having an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump promised to be an agent of "retribution" if re-elected as president and told the crowd at one point: "Either the deep state destroys America or we destroy the deep state." Trump also made his most public attack on his biggest political threat, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom he criticized for being a "disciple" of former House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Waco, Texas, where he addressed his supporters and criticized his potential 2024 rivals, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump also spoke about the multiple investigations into his conduct and declared himself "the most innocent man in the history of our country." He warned of "potential death and destruction" if he were to be indicted, as the grand jury is expected to reconvene on Monday. The rally coincided with the 30th anniversary of the deadly Waco siege, but Trump made no explicit mention of it.
Mary Trump has launched a campaign to sabotage her uncle Donald Trump's upcoming rally in Waco, Texas, by encouraging people to request tickets they won't use, so that the venue will be filled with empty seats. She claims that the location is a ploy to remind his supporters of the infamous Waco siege of 1993, and that her uncle wants the same violent chaos to rescue him from justice. This is not the first time that one of Mr Trump's events has been disrupted in this manner.
