Former President Trump made a statement to the media at Trump Tower in Manhattan Thursday afternoon, covering a wide swath of topics, including the incompetence of his opponent, Democrat presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is scheduled to visit the U.S.-Mexico border while on the campaign trail on Friday.

He began his remarks on the Harris border crisis, which he called "the worst border crisis in the history of the world," questioning why she would go to the border (e.g. such a gift to her political opponent's campaign):

Calling VP Harris "a radical Left person," Trump ridiculed her previous "visit" to the border as "very mild and no danger." She was nowhere near the actual border areas. Trump half-jokingly said he should have called his remarks on Thursday his "Why Didn't She Do It?" speech. As in, why hasn't she done any of the things she's trying to promise people she will do, when she has been in office for almost four years in the Biden administration?

Trump speculated on possible reasons they have left the border unprotected. The first reason, he said, is Incompetence; the second reason, is "They want it for the votes." He said that he didn't need to tell people the third reason, and that people could guess.

He also spoke about the second presidential debate, which Trump took part in against Harris on ABC News, and being improperly corrected by co-moderator David Muir. In what might be breaking news, Trump asserted that his campaign had a deal in advance with the producers of the debate that no fact-checking would happen.

He said, "They violated the deal. Why? They're bad people and they're fake news."

Then Trump shared some crime numbers in NYC on illegal aliens, and in Albany, NY, about a woman being brutally raped, then spoke about other horrors allegedly committed across the country--many thousands of miles from the Southern border: 

While admitting that ":there's nothing nice" about the stories he's talking about, whether on the border, the economy, or any other issue made worse by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Trump pressed the issue once again, asking why Harris has not done what she says she wants to do if elected as president, in a look toward November's elections. Those were his exact words: "Why hasn't she done it?"

Just as he did during the debate, Trump swiftly destroyed her excuses on the border problem festering on her watch:

Staying on the general election topic, he said he reckons that his and Vance's campaign is "up 21 points."

One of the money quotes from Trump also nailed the importance of conservatives getting out the vote, in fact: "Without borders and without fair elections, we have no country," he said.

Then, returning to immigration, he spoke about Americans being terrorized and hurt by illegal alien gangs in places like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio:

He ended by listing what he and Vance will do (some actions on Day 1) to end the border crisis:
