Trump’s divisive Pocono rally sparks outrage over Somali American remarks

Donald Trump held a rally at Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. The event, part of his so-called 'affordability gaslighting tour', drew attention for its divisive rhetoric. During the rally, Trump directed inflammatory remarks toward Somali Americans, fueling hatred and prejudice against the community. The gathering took place at a well-known venue in the Pocono Mountains, with supporters attending as the former president continued his series of public appearances across key states. The event, organized through Eventbrite, has sparked concerns about rising tensions, with Trump's comments about Somali Americans being a particular point of contention. This was the latest stop on his ongoing tour.
