"I will bring the world glorious new peace," said Donald Trump during a speech at a rally on the tarmac at Freeland Airport in Michigan. The Republican Party presidential candidate also promised to construct a "great Iron Dome" over the United States, akin to the one in Israel.

"Biden's weakness has led the planet to the edge of nuclear war," Trump stated in a Wednesday speech. "I will bring the world glorious new peace," he emphasized.

"I am the only one that can say this; I know them all and they respect me; they don't respect our country anymore; it's a country that's in decline, but they respect me and we're going to have it back very soon — but I'll say this: I will prevent World War III. I'm the only one that's going to do it," he added.

Trump highlighted that "we will have peace through strength." - "In my next term, we will build a great Iron Dome, as much as Israel has, but even better," he assured me.

"I'm saying, 'Why don't we have that? We should have that, too. We have a lot of hostile people out there. We have a lot of bad actors out there. We're going to build the greatest dome of them all," he said.

He assured us that it would be produced in the USA, creating numerous American jobs. However, he did not provide specific details—when such a dome might be constructed or how it would function. The "Iron Dome" protects Israel, but Israel is a much smaller country—its area is just over 7,722 square miles, whereas the USA spans over 3.8 million square miles.

Donlad Trump: "You saw how effective that was with Israel"

Discussing the "Iron Dome," Trump stated that "Israel was 99 percent effective last month in stopping retaliatory missile attacks from Iran and 100 percent effective in protecting Israel from destruction and death"

"You saw how effective that was with Israel last week with 300 rockets shot down, every one of them knocked out, every one of them knocked down," repeated Trump and once again assured that the USA - during his term - will build a great Iron Dome. "We're going to have a shield around our country, and it's made here," he added.
