JANESVILLE, Wisconsin - President Donald Trump leaned into fear tactics Saturday as he accused the left of trying to destroy the American way of life in a late reelection pitch to voters in Michigan and Wisconsin - two Midwestern states that were instrumental to his 2016 victory but may now be slipping from his grasp.
In back-to-back rallies, Trump accused the left of wanting to erase American history and purge American values. He claimed, with no basis, that Democratic rival Joe Biden would put communities at risk.
Trump offered the dark message as he faces headwinds not only in national polling, which shows Biden leading, but also in key battleground surveys.
As he tries to energize his base and keep on-the-fence voters from turning against him, Trump sought to paint Democrats as anti-American radicals and said moderates had a moral duty to join the Republican Party.
The Democrat Party you once knew doesnt exist, he said.
It was the same on issue after issue, as he claimed in hyperbolic terms that Bidens election would spur the single biggest depression in the history of our country and turn Michigan into a refugee camp.
Addressing the coronavirus crisis, Trump warned that Biden would shut down the country, delay the vaccine and prolong the pandemic. Public health experts say the nation would be in far better shape had Trumps administration taken more aggressive action early on.
And while he repeatedly predicted victory, Trump seemed to grapple throughout the day with the prospect that he could indeed lose in November.
In Michigan, he quipped that, in January, he better damn well be president. In Wisconsin, he wondered how he would process a loss.
Can you imagine if I lose? I will have lost to the worst candidate in the history of American politics.

Dont be afraid it will be all over soon, relax, smoke some pot
Look at Democrat controlled cities such as San Francisco, Chicago and Detroit and tell me Democrats don’t destroy everything they touch.
Socialism is like termites eating at the very foundation of any society. There is not enough wealth in the world to make socialism work, eventually it all collapses leaving nothing behind to rebuild with.
AP hyperbole reaching its zenith...
Biden heads the party of corruption, anarchy, riots, and chaos. That is not hyperbolic, it’s fact. Of course, AP doesn’t look beyond their own nose.
Fear tactics? AOC promises to destroy our despised middle=class life. For environmental and social justice.
Slipping away? Better tell Senate Democrats. They are pooping their pants because John James has pulled even with Senator......, Senator.......??? Who is the other Democrat Senator from Michigan?
That’s advice for DU more than FR
Gary Peters is senator up against John James.
John James is awesome and with our prayers, hopefully he can win in Michigan.
Maybe send some moola to James.
How about the truth AP? You remember what that is, right?
Watch for this to be the hook that the media and the polling agencies will latch onto to describe the miraculous turnaround in polling over the next two weeks.
Trump, of course, was never behind, but now they have their meme...
It should have been posted: D-AP
AP = Scared, very scared on what’s coming!
Right but the democrats saying the world will end from global warming, women and blacks will have no rights, peolebwill lose health coverage, seniors will lose medicare...are not fear tactics.
It is to traitorous enemydia like AP.
No bias here. Nothing to see. Move on.
AP=barf
No alert needed.
The Ass. Press lives up to their name.
I am laughing at the corrupt AP, given that the entire Biden campaign is a campaign of fear, baseless fear of Trump.
I remember when Ass Press was respected.
That’s all I can say.
