Sun 26 March 2023:
Former US President Donald Trump targeted ‘gender ideology’ in his first rally for the 2024 presidential election, referring to various gender expressions. “We will defeat the cult of gender ideology to reassert that God created two genders, Male and Female,” Trump declared to a raucous crowd in Waco, Texas, on Saturday.
Trump held a rally in Waco on the same day that the Texas city saw the end of a deadly standoff between law enforcement and members of the Branch Davidians cult.

Trump began the rally by playing a song called ‘Justice for All,’ which features a choir of men imprisoned for their roles in the rioting in the US capital on January 6, 2021. These men are shown singing the national anthem of the United States while Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance.
Trump launched a sweeping attack on Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, seen as his strongest challenger for the Republican presidential nomination.
“He’s dropping like a rock and I wonder why,” Trump said of DeSantis’s recent downslide in opinion polls.
“But when a man, you know, you get him elected and there’s no quid pro quo. He gets the nomination because of you, he wins the election because of you. Two years later, the fake news is up there saying, ‘Will you run against the president? Will you run?’ And he says, ‘I have no comment.’ I say, that’s not supposed to happen. ‘I have no comment.’ No. So I’m not a big fan.”
Earlier this week, Trump predicted his own arrest on Tuesday and called for protests, but did not specify whether they should be peaceful. If he is eventually charged, he has warned of “potential death and destruction” on his Truth Social platform.
Trump spoke in background of his supporters holding signs that said, “Witch hunt”, “I stand with Trump” and “Trump 2024”.
Trump repeated the claim that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged”. He praised the rioters of January 6 and and said that the prosecutors overseeing multiple investigations into his conduct are “absolute human scum”.
“The thugs and criminals who are corrupting our justice system will be defeated, discredited and totally disgraced,” he added.
