Trump claims that a second term would be different due to his knowledge of "the good, the strong, the weak, and the stupid."

As the 2024 race nears its conclusion, former President Trump restated his goal of "making America great again."

Trump met with Sean Hannity on Mar-a-Lago and reiterated his campaign promises, including securing the border, addressing the economy and immigration system, and employing tariffs against foreign nations.

The 2024 GOP presidential nominee stated that a potential second administration of his would be distinct because he now understands "everyone in Washington."

"I didn't know anyone during my first term. I wasn't a Washington person. I was rarely there," Trump said Wednesday on "Hannity." "I know everyone now. I know the good, the strong, the weak, the stupid. I know everyone. And we're going to make this country great again, and we have to save our country."

He criticized the Biden-Harris administration for its handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, record border crossings, and weak foreign policy, arguing that Russia's war against Ukraine and Israel's war against Hamas would not have occurred if he had been in the White House.

"Again, we will be respected. Once more, America will be great. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing. I don't desire to be on a beautiful beach or in a luxurious hotel, watching TV or doing something else. I want to be doing what I'm doing," Trump exclaimed. "It's amazing."

On Wednesday, the former president traveled to a rally in Green Bay, Wis., in a garbage truck following Biden's description of Trump supporters as "garbage."

The White House claimed that Biden's comments were not directed at Trump's supporters and instead accused comedian Tony Hinchcliffe of making offensive remarks about Puerto Rico at Trump's rally.

Biden's X tweeted Tuesday evening that the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally was "garbage" and that his demonization of Latinos was "unconscionable." The tweet stated that the comments at that rally did not reflect who the nation was.

On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris stated on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews that she "absolutely" opposes any form of criticism directed at individuals based on their voting preferences.

"Last night, I delivered a speech that you heard and have been a part of my career. I believe that my work is about representing everyone, regardless of their support for me."
