Donald Trump claims America is “finished” if he loses the election and “Crooked Joe” Biden remains president.
The former president spoke about his Saturday night rally in a video message recorded from his private jet, ‘Trump Force One.’
Trump said he was on his way to Washington, D.C., for a Faith and Freedom Coalition event where he would give a speech to Christian voters.
Immediately afterwards, he would return to the plane and travel to Philadelphia to attend a rally, which he said would be broadcast on most television channels.
“It’s very simple, if you get ratings, they (television stations) pick it up, if you don’t get ratings, they don’t pick it up,” he said.

Trump then boasted that a new poll put him 10 percent ahead of “crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in history.”
“November 5 will go down in history as the most important and consequential day in the history of our country,” he said of Election Day.
“We have to win, if we don’t win, this country is finished.”
Trump was referring to a Rasmussen poll released Friday that put him ahead 46 percent to Biden’s 36 percent in a five-way race.
Independent candidates Robert F Kennedy Jr and Cornel West got nine and two per cent each and the Greens’ Jill Stein just one per cent.

Trump was also ahead 49 to 40 percent in a two-way race with Biden: Seven percent said they would vote for someone else and four percent were undecided.
Rasmussen historically leans toward conservative candidates and the poll is a huge outlier compared to other recent results.
Biden has a small lead in the FiveThirtyEight average of recent national polls, while Trump has slight leads in more sporadic polls of battleground states.
The president is immersed in five days of debate preparation at Camp David before the two rivals face off Thursday night.
