MOSINEE, Wis. — Former President Donald Trump made his fifth Wisconsin visit this year on Saturday, this time in Mosinee.
Thousands of Trump supporters flocked to Central Wisconsin Airport, hoping to hear from the former president.
It was his third campaign stop in Mosinee, after visits in 2018 and 2020.
“I believe in what Trump can do,” said Corinne Clausnitzer from Medford.
Clausnitzer said Trump’s economic agenda is especially important to her as a business owner.
“My business has gotten very, very slow in the last three years and I’m looking to get him back in so that we can have a good economy,” she said.
The economy was the focus of Trump’s speech. The former president laid out a plan he said would address the rising cost of living, bolster the fossil fuel industry and make investments in the manufacturing industry.
“We’re not going to watch our wealth and our jobs get ripped away from us and sent to foreign countries,” Trump said. “Wisconsin will be one of the biggest beneficiaries, just like I gave you the Marinette shipbuilding contract.”
Many voters who spoke to Spectrum News 1 said they were hoping to hear how he would address the cost of living, including Zackery Gruhn of Wausau.
“I’ve seen in the past the gas prices, prices of food and prices of housing have all gone down when he was in the presidency last, and I’m just really hoping he will do it again,” he said.
Trump didn’t shy away from other topics, including immigration. If elected, he said he would tighten restrictions at the border.
“I will get these monster criminals out of Wisconsin, I will get them out of our country and I will get them out fast,” Trump said.
Public safety was a topic voters, such as Linda Frisch, also hoped to hear about from the former president.
“I want for my grandchildren what I had, just a safe place to get on my bicycle and ride around the neighborhood,” she said. “They can’t do that anymore, and it’s just very sad.”
Throughout his remarks, Trump reiterated his campaign promise to improve conditions for the middle class.
“On November 5th, we will save our economy, we will rescue our middle class, we will reclaim our sovereignty and restore our borders,” he said.
