“Haitian immigrants have descended upon Springfield, Ohio, and are destroying their way of life,” Trump told the crowd.“A recording of 911 calls shows residents reporting that the migrants are walking off with the town’s geese. They’re taking the geese. You know where the geese are? In the park, in the lake. And even walking off with their pets.”
However, the actual disruption in Springfield came from a bomb threat at City Hall, which led to early school closures and evacuations. According to The Haitian Times, the local Haitian community is facing property damage and heightened safety concerns, unrelated to Trump’s sensational claims.
Contrary to Trump’s narrative, a local Springfield CEO recently praised Haitian immigrants as hard-working and reliable. The narrative about geese, based on a single 911 call, has been widely discredited.
Trump’s rally speech also took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting without evidence that her events draw “zero” attendees. This claim came as Harris spoke to a crowd of about 17,000 in North Carolina’s Greensboro Coliseum, according to her campaign.
Additionally, Trump made an unusual pivot to discussing voter demographics, hinting that he might blame older voters if he loses the election. “My audiences, they’ve gotten younger and younger,” he observed. “Don’t worry, I still like the old people the best. I don’t care!” He added that he remains loyal to his longtime supporters despite the shifting crowd dynamics.
