Josef Fransson is in the US together with SD colleagues Dennis Dioukarev and Tobias Andersson to follow the election campaign.

They recently attended a campaign meeting at Penn State University in Pennsylvania where they were inspired by Trump's performance. Fransson describes the meeting as “powerful” and highlights that Trump made the audience laugh and got involved in freedom of speech issues.

– It was powerful to get in there and experience such a “rally”. There were easily 10,000 people and a super talented singer sang the national anthem and wailed like only her, says Josef Fransson to Expressen.

During the meeting, Trump also brought up the death penalty for foreign nationals convicted of murder, something Fransson called ” pointed” but himself has a neutral attitude towards. The SD politician also emphasizes that the US is facing a “huge problem with criminality among illegal immigrants” and criticizes Kamala Harris for having admitted “over 13,000 convicted murderers”.

Fransson emphasizes that he is not in favor of the death penalty, but believes that Trump's conservative policies can be a positive example for the world and describes the American “woke culture” as “deranged”.

The commitment and energy at a presidential election rally in the USA has no equivalent in Sweden. Although Trump was almost 2 hours late, he faced a packed arena in Penn State University, Pennsylvania. pic.twitter.com/0FB0oG1ZHt
