MINT HILL, N.C. (Netavison): “No threat will shake me. No enemy will intimidate me. I have never been more determined that we will make this country great again!” Donald Trump tells a North Carolina crowd firmly.

Trump has many enemies.

This year alone, he has been the target of two possible assassination attempts.

The Trump campaign believes Iran may have also played a role.

– We'll blow it to pieces.

Just two days ago, Trump was supposed to be informed of threats from the state to assassinate him.

He issued a stern warning to Iran during a campaign rally in North Carolina.

“If I were president, I would tell the threatened country, in this case Iran, that if you do anything to hurt this person, we will blow your largest city and the country itself into pieces, we will destroy it to pieces,” Trump says to cheers from voters.

Trump returned to the state to rally votes.

But in going after voters, many believe Trump is his own worst enemy.

As, for example, when he questioned whether Kamala Harris was black, or when he criticized popular Gov. Brian Kemp in the swing state of Georgia.

And here in the swing state of North Carolina, Trump voters are happy about it. Trump says and does whatever he wants.

“The only thing I believe can stop Trump is God. I believe God will do what is right. Enough people will vote for Trump, and I believe God will bless this country again,” Russell Rowe tells NettaVision.

– It's getting messy.

Doris Brown, Alison and Ted Kavanaugh also believe Trump will win this year.

What do you think of where we are in the election campaign now?

“It's been chaotic and wild, but I think it's going to work out in the end,” Kavanaugh says.

“I’m not sure I have that good feeling,” Brown says. “I don’t know how much I trust the other side and all the devious schemes they can come up with to destroy Trump and his voters.”

– He had six phones.

This is Trump's second trip to North Carolina in less than a week.

It is ahead by only 0.6 percentage points on average. Opinion polls here.

Brown, a lady who is not afraid to speak up. Exactly what you mean He has this to say about polls:

– It's because Democrats are lying and trying to promote the first female president and race. That shouldn't be a factor. Most of us don't care about that, Brown says. We just care about the person and the love they have for their country.

“They say it’s even, but they don’t come here and count the people in line,” Kavanaugh says. “I think the media is promoting it.”

– Corrupt media industry! Brown adds.

She only reads Fox News and Newsmax. In her eyes, the left-wing media is terrible.

“There are never any positive articles about Trump, and they promote everything Kamala Harris says and does. But all that smiling and chattering doesn’t suit everyone,” Brown says.

But since polls show the candidates so evenly matched, both Trump and Harris are visiting the state hard these days.

On Monday JD Vance was here.

In the swing state, Trump is trumpeting jobs, tax breaks for companies that make their products in the United States, and that he will beat inflation.

Trump promises that the “furniture capital of the world,” as North Carolina has been referred to, will return to its glory days.

Although the inflation rate in the United States was 2.5 percent in August, not far from the 2 percent target, Americans are unhappy with the rising cost of everything from gasoline to groceries in the United States today.

– I wish he hadn't tweeted.

Netavisin spoke to several voters on Mint Hill outside the Trump campaign rally.

The impression is that most Trump voters are willing to “swallow some camels” to fix the economy and stop immigration to the United States.

– I wish he didn't tweet. I wish he didn't respond to things. Just go ahead and do your job. “You shouldn't respond to the ugly things that people write and share,” says Roberta Errington.

“I don't know if he's my political idol, but he's the best for this country,” Russell Rowe says.

“I don’t like foul language, but I just decided that’s what he is and I can get over it,” Melinda Fleming said. “I’m doing this for our country, because I think he’s the best candidate.”

Springfield's Claims That're Making a Stir

Trump's most recent move that caused a stir was when he claimed during a debate against Harris that Haitian immigrants were eating dogs and cats in Springfield.

Christy Higgins supports Trump because of economic policy, what he accomplished in his first term as president, and because he is capable of running again.

When it comes to the conflict in Springfield, she is skeptical about the truth. She says people have already called and expressed concerns about it.

“I don’t know how much of it is verifiable, but there were people who were panicked enough to call and say it. It was on the news. I don’t know how much of it he carries,” Higgins says.

The debate surrounding Springfield is not limited to Haitian immigrants in a small Ohio town.

The city and the claims have become a symbol of the challenges many Americans feel with immigrating to the United States.

In 2023, more than two million people crossed borders illegally, according to figures from the European Union. US Customs and Border Protection.

It's the only number you have an overview of.

“They put people in the middle of the country,” Higgins says. “I don’t know what kind of religious practices they have or if they’re going to eat our dogs, but I’m not as worried about that as I am about criminal gangs and the southern border.”

– They shouldn't eat my dog! He shoots a lady from the sidelines.

The problem with the allegations in Springfield is that the city's leader and Mike DeWine, Ohio's Republican governor, have denied they vote.

At least they don't have any evidence of that.

DeWine says in a post on New York Times He is disturbed when he sees Vance and Trump continue to spread these allegations.

The governor also believes the focus on Springfield is preventing Vance and Trump from winning the debate over immigration and the southern border.

– Do you think it is the residents or politicians who should verify the claims before they are made public?

“Definitely politicians. Maybe we should all check its legitimacy before making a big deal on it. But there are ducks out of the pond. I don’t know what else to say,” Higgins says.

– The toughest man ever

Brown also believes Trump gets a lot of flak, even when it comes to discussing what's happening in Springfield.

– He has to take criticism more than anyone else. That's the truth. He's the toughest guy ever, and he was the best president ever.

– Do you think anything Trump says or has said is unacceptable?

“Well, he’s from New York. He says what he thinks. Sometimes it would be nice if he didn’t, but he tells the truth and doesn’t lie,” Brown says.

– God knows he doesn't need to do that.

Americans are also grateful for Trump's resilience.

“He’s been prosecuted more than anyone else. It’s ridiculous. I’m surprised he would even do this,” says Roberta Errington. “I’m grateful for that.”

“God knows he doesn’t need to do this. After all our country has put him through. He’s not a perfect man, but he understands what we want in a leader,” says Christy Higgins.
