‘Do you miss me yet?’: Trump tears into Biden at Mar-a-Lago wedding
Former President Donald Trump recently tore into President Joe Biden over a number of issues in a speech at a wedding held at Mar-a-Lago.
The speech was reportedly delivered Saturday evening at a wedding for John and Megan Arrigo. TMZ obtained the video over the weekend, The Hill reported.
The news is “telling me about the border, they’re telling me about China, they’re telling me about Iran,” Trump said at the start of the video, deriding the current situation between the United States and both countries.
The former president’s attention then turned to the border.
“The border is not good,” Trump told the crowd at his Palm Beach, Florida club and residence. “And what you see now, multiply it times 10.”

He went on to talk about the massive wave of unaccompanied migrant children making their way to the U.S.-Mexico border. There have been a variety of reports illustrating overcrowded conditions at detention facilities and poor accommodations for the migrants being held in them.
“What’s happening to the kids […] they’re living in squalor. They’re living like nobody has ever seen,” said Trump, in a tuxedo. “Look, it’s a disaster. It’s a humanitarian disaster from their standpoint and it’s going to destroy the country and, frankly, the country can’t afford it.”

Trump on Saturday told Fox News that he will “probably” venture to the southern border “over the next couple of weeks.” Biden, on the other hand, said at his Thursday press conference that he has yet to visit the border or the facilities because he doesn’t “want to become the issue” due to his large Secret Service team following him.

After touching on the pressure that the border crisis puts on education and healthcare systems, he asked the crowd, “Do you miss me yet?” And, in response, the crowd let out an uproar of cheers and applause.
Following that, Trump also touted the number of votes he received in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump has left the door open to a reelection bid in 2024. On Thursday, Biden said he intends to run again, however, he did not make a commitment.

Oprah’s Scare Tactic: If Women Don’t Vote For Harris, May Not Have Opportunity to ‘Ever Cast a Ballot Again’
It was the threat of the century when billionaire Oprah Winfrey spoke at the Kamala Harris rally the night before election day. The television mogul told women at the Philadelphia rally late Monday night that if they don’t show up and vote for Kamala Harris today, they may never ever have the chance to vote again in their lifetimes.
Winfrey told the audience a story about when she was hiking on Sunday and met a woman named Angela. Allegedly Angela told Winfrey she had decided not to vote in this election.
Oprah said she told Angela, “We don’t get to sit this one out. If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.”
Winfrey also said if women did not make sure the people in their lives could get to the polls, “that is a mistake.”
“Deciding not to decide that is most definitely a vote to let other people control your future,” she continued.
She said about Harris before introducing singer Will.I.Am, “She sees us, and she will do her mighty best to serve all of us. I believe we can do that, and I know she can do that, yes she can, yes she can, yes she can, and to say it and sing it and drive that message home.”
Singer Katy Perry also performed at the Harris rally and told the audience that she had a baby four years ago and believes Kamala Harris has her daughter’s best interests at heart and will protect her.
