Trump hands out $100 bill, leads anti-immigrant chants in Pennsylvania

Former President Donald Trump handed out $100 to a grocery store shopper and vowed to roll back prices before leading anti-immigrant chants at a rally in battleground Pennsylvania.

Pulling a $100 bill out of his pocket, the billionaire Republican candidate told the starstruck mother of three that he would cure inflation if she voted him back into the White House in the November election against Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Here, it’s gonna go down a little,” Trump told the shopper, whose grocery tab was $194. “It just went down 100 bucks.”

“We’ll do that for you from the White House, all right?”

Shopper Jenny Kantz thanked Trump for the handout at the Sprankles Grocery Store in Kittanning, northeast of Pittsburgh. She later vowed to frame the bill as a memento and not spend it.

Some suggested the Trump handout could violate laws barring vote-buying, but it would likely fall in the category of a token gift.

Trump often attacks President Joe Biden and Harris for igniting inflation that has raised prices during the four years since he was voted out of office.

Pollsters also say voters mostly believe he has an edge over Harris when it comes to dealing with the economy.

After the grocery store stop, Trump addressed a rally in nearby town of Indiana, Pennsylvania where he railed against immigrants and repeated his racist smears about Haitian immigrants in the city of Springfield, Ohio.

 

He vowed to force the Haitians to return to their Caribbean homeland even though the vast majority are in the U.S. legally.

The predominantly white crowd chanted “send them back” after Trump railed against the supposed ills Haitians have brought to Springfield. He has refused to retract or apologize for spewing the hateful lie that Haitians stole and ate people’s pets in the city.

“You have to get them the hell out,” Trump said.

Harris has slammed Trump and his running mate JD Vance for spreading lies about Haitians even as she trumpets her own hard line on border security.

The Democratic nominee may visit the southern border on Friday to highlight her support for a bipartisan border security measure that Trump torpedoed months ago.

Border crossings are down dramatically since President Biden implemented a tough executive action, undercutting Trump’s hysterical claims that immigrants are causing havoc from coast to coast.

Pennsylvania is one of seven battleground states that will likely determine the winner of the White House race and many pundits consider the Keystone State to be the most pivotal contest of all.

Harris narrowly leads Trump in polls of Pennsylvania, which Trump won in 2016 but lost to Biden in 2020.
