At campaign stops in Iowa, Donald Trump promised to implement strict U.S. border policies, suspend refugee resettlement, and revoke the visas of radical students, according to The Post Millennial.
“Under my leadership,” Trump began, “the world’s thugs, villains, killers, and savages were in retreat and running scared—all because you had a president who stood up for America, who stood up for Israel, and who stood up for Judeo-Christian civilization.”
Discussing his support for Israel amid attacks, Trump said, “Iran started the attack on Israel and desperately wants to become openly involved. ‘Death to Israel,’ ‘Death to America’, they chant.” He vowed to “stand with Israel 100 percent,” saying, “I kept Israel safe before—and with four more years in the White House, I will defend the state of Israel like no one else can.”
The former president added that he will “keep radical Islamic terrorists” out of the United States by “reinstat[ing] and expand[ing] the wildly successful Trump Travel Ban on entry from terror-plagued countries, territories, and places. If you’re coming from somewhere full of people who want to kill Americans, we will not let you in.”

Trump noted he “suspended refugee resettlement when we entered office in 2017, and we will do it again.” He explained, “We aren’t bringing in anyone from Gaza or Syria or Somalia or Yemen, or Libya, or anywhere else that threatens our security.”
He also described a plan to “implement strong ideological screening for all immigrants to the United States.”
“No longer will we allow dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs to get residency in our country. If you empathize with radical Islamic terrorists and extremists, you’re disqualified—if you want to abolish the state of Israel, you’re disqualified —if you support Hamas or the ideology behind Hamas, you’re disqualified —and if you’re a Communist, Marxist, or Fascist, you are disqualified.”
Trump then discussed the “open support for terrorists among the legions of foreign nationals on college campuses,” saying, “Under the Trump administration, we will revoke the student visas of radical anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners at our colleges and universities—and we will send them straight back home.”
He concluded his speech by declaring 2024 as the “final battle.”
“2024 is our final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country, we will rout the fake news media, we will evict Joe Biden from the White House, and we will finish the job once and for all.”
