President Donald Trump mobilized his supporters in Nevada on Saturday in an attempt to garner support in the state as the state polls indicate that his Democratic challenger Joe Biden is leading.
Trump spoke to a multitude of thousands at an airport outside Reno. There, he talked about a list of grievances that he has against Democrats, the press, and mail-in ballots.
Despite constitutional limitations that prevent U.S. Presidents from serving over two, four-year terms, the president mused about remaining in office for 12 years.
“We are going to win four more years in the White House. And then after that, we’ll negotiate, right, based on the way we were treated. We’re probably entitled to another four after that,” he said.

Trump again criticized Democrats for attempting to “rig” the Nov. 3 election. He also pounded Biden over an ad condemning Trump for allegations of making derogatory remarks about the U.S. war dead. Trump did not hesitate to refute the claims.
Trump is lagging behind the ex-vice president in the national polls. This also includes Nevada, where the real estate developer narrowly lost to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.
In addition, Biden slammed Trump for failure to set out a comprehensive plan to fight the pandemic.

“Nevadans don’t need more bluster from the president, and don’t need his reckless rallies that ignore the realities of COVID-19 and endanger public health,” Claimed Biden in a statement Saturday.
“Nevada families require solutions — from controlling the pandemic to bringing the nation back to getting affordable health care more available to millions of Americans.”
