Trump administration stopped sharing evidence in Good and Pretti killings, Minnesota officials say

GREENVILLE, October 22 — Despite Donald Trump's final campaign, no one can replace his electrifying rallies, according to attendees. "There's a lot of Americana. There's a lot of, you know, happy people," remarked Bart, a Trump supporter at an outdoor event in North Carolina. The 80-year-old president has been traversing various US states before the November midterm elections, with his party facing a significant risk of losing both houses of Congress.

Bart, along with his family, attended his first Trump event in 2015. He was drawn back by the unique blend of aggressive rhetoric, showmanship, and enthusiasm that only Trump can deliver. For Jaycie Bullard, an 18-year-old nursing student, attending the Greenville rally was a no-brainer. "I knew I had to come when I heard he was coming," she said, beaming like a child on Christmas.

The president's speech, a 111-minute tirade against opponents, his false claim of winning the 2020 election, and his usual humor set the tone. He concluded with the Village People's "Y.M.C.A." However, these gatherings are becoming less frequent as Trump's support base dwindles. The retiree Patty Laronde, who had never seen Trump before, voiced her concerns about the future, saying, "Who's going to take his place?"

She was hopeful that Vice President JD Vance, seen as a potential 2028 presidential candidate, could fill the void. Yet, many attendees, including self-employed 51-year-old David, agree that "the copy is never as good as the original." Professor Yagmur Karakaya of Yale University explains that Trump's rallies transform negative emotions into excitement and pride, relying on comedy, culture-war rhetoric, sports metaphors, and business jargon.

This unique style, likened to a "Grateful Dead concert" by speech communication professor Jacob Justice, is difficult to replicate. The question remains: can anyone follow in Trump's footsteps? Only time will tell.
