Donald Trump began his final day of campaign rallies by declaring that he would win if his MAGA supporters voted. However, he also acknowledged that his raspy voice is a problem and once again defended his speaking style which he calls “the weave”.

Addressing a crowd in North Carolina, he said, “They can’t do anything if we get our vote.”

Trump then spoke about his youngest and only son with Melania Trump, saying, “And I have a husband who is at home with the first lady.”

He called Barron, who is 18 years old and recently joined NYU, “very smart” and gives him “good advice.”

“Dad: take it easy, now. Just take it easy, Dad, okay? You don’t have to go too far here. He gives me the good, he is very wise,” the former president said.

Trump has expressed hope, but he has also occasionally acknowledged the risk of failure.

Trump declares he loves dogs

In a campaign that featured more pet-related comments than others, he once declared to the audience that he “loves dogs.”

It is notable that Trump was the first president to live in the White House without a pet. “I love dogs. We love dogs,” he says.

He then deviated from the topic to talk about Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law. He said she loves dogs and other pets and would visit the office. “And she made me do things for doggies you wouldn’t believe,” he said.

“Daddy, we have to make the cages bigger. We need to get air conditioning,” Trump told the crowd Lara told him.
