The vision for Trump's America is a "dystopian hellscape."
That was New Yorker's Susan Glasser's takeaway after watching Trump hold court with his MAGA supporters at a rally in Rome, Georgia after clinching the Republican delegates needed for the GOP's presidential 2024 nomination.
"On November 5th, the curtain closes on Crooked Joe’s corrupt reign, and the sun rises on a brand new day for Georgia and for America, right," the former president said.
Glasser's story described Trump's nearly two-hour stump speech as "rambling, unhinged, vituperative, and oh-so-revealing."

She then appeared on MSNBC to discuss it in depth.
Trump's vision, contrasted with his previous runs in 2016 and 2020, came off as dire and it disturbed her.
"There is something, you know, different this time," she stated before continuing, "It is not just the level of grievance and revenge and retribution — it's actually the dystopian hellscape. It is much worse and darker than even the American carnage speech frankly."
That speech took place in 2017 when, fresh off his victory, Trump was inaugurated and claimed: "This American carnage stops right here and stops right now."
Glasser was also struck by Trump's struggle with the truth and the English language.
She said his "lying, rambling, ranting, much of it doesn't make much sense as you know for years he's struggled with the basics of a verb and a period — you're not going to find a lot of those there."
There is also a sense that fatigue and his 77-years in age is kicking in.
"Even beyond the delivery and certainly when it comes to age, you will come away from a performance like this," said Glasser. "And this is a guy who really struggles with his words, who is visibly diminished in his vocabulary and his delivery, just in the last few years."
