Donald Trump has insisted there is no free speech in the US while continuing to make unfounded claims that he is the rightful winner of the 2020 election. On Saturday night, the 75-year-old former president delivered a lengthy speech to thousands of his supporters gathered at Robarts Arena in Sarasota, Florida, for his second "Save America" rally. The address saw the businessman-turned-world leader promise to restore the right to free speech as, currently, "we don't have" it, according to Trump. He said per <a href="https://www.ktvn.com/story/44237710/former-president-trump-holds-rally-in-florida-promising-to-reject-cancel-culture">KTVN</a>: "We will... reject leftwing cancel culture. And we will restore the right to free speech in America again, which we don't have."

Otherwise, you’ll have … that’s communism. That’s what they do in these communist countries, you have no voice." Trump, who has continuously espoused <a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-ap-fact-check-joe-biden-donald-trump-technology-49a24edd6d10888dbad61689c24b05a5">baseless claims of voter fraud</a>, went on to say: "We have a truly sick election system, it’s got to be changed." The ex-POTUS continued: "Remember this, I am not the one trying to undermine American democracy. I am the one trying to save American democracy." Insisting that he did not lose the 2020 US presidential election, he said: "If we lost the election … I wouldn’t have a crowd that goes beyond what the eye can see, that stays in a thunderstorm."

They illegally changed the rules in key states. They stole the votes. "They abolished signature verification requirements, created a powerful system for media and the online censorship of their opponents, and did everything possible to facilitate fraud just like you would do in a third-world country. That’s what happened with this election." Trump has continued to perpetuate false claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Not only are the claims unfounded, but US election security officials have confirmed the election was <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/news/2020/11/12/joint-statement-elections-infrastructure-government-coordinating-council-election">"the most secure in American history"</a>. In addition to that, state and federal judges have dismissed over 50 lawsuits citing election fraud, per <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-courts-election-idUSKBN2AF1G1">Reuters</a>. <h6>Featured image credit: Alamy / jeremy sutton-hibbert</h6>
