Here’s the difference between President Trump and Joe Biden…
On the same day Joe Biden went to great lengths to apologize to Laken Riley’s killer for calling him such a disrespectful word as “illegal” instead of “undocumented person,” President Trump has cut through all the BS to call it like it is.
At his rally in Rome, GA, Trump described Laken Riley’s killer in a way that completely contrasted with Biden’s backtracking…
“I say he is an illegal alien, he is an illegal immigrant, he is an illegal migrant, and he should have never been in our country, and he wouldn’t have been under the Trump policies!”

Fox News reported:
Former President Donald Trump said he met with the family of Laken Riley backstage before speaking at a rally in Georgia on Saturday.
"I met her beautiful mother and family backstage," Trump told the crowd in Rome. "They said she was like the best. She was always the best to us. They admit that she was the best, and she was the first in her class. She was going to be the best nurse. She was the best nursing student. She was always the best. She was the brightest light in every room, they told me."
He added, "She was the whole world to her parents and to her sister and just to the whole family."
Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia, was allegedly killed by a Venezuelan migrant in the country illegally while she was on a jog on Feb. 22.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden held his own event in Atlanta, GA.
Look at that turnout...
Joe Biden just landed in Atlanta, Georgia for a rally and there were barely any non-politicians there to greet him.
The latest Morning Consult poll has Trump with 49% support and Biden 43%.

The Washington Post has more to say on Trump and Biden's same-day events in Georgia:
President Biden and former president Donald Trump will campaign 70 miles from each other Saturday evening, seeking to woo supporters in this crucial state in the opening salvos of the general election rematch.
The dueling appearances underscore the key role that Georgia, which holds its primary Tuesday, will play in November, after Biden defeated Trump in the state by fewer than 12,000 votes in the 2020 election. Trump decidedly won the state in 2016, beating Hillary Clinton by five percentage points.
Biden will rally voters in Atlanta, while Trump will hold his event in Rome, a city in northwest Georgia that is part of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) district. The visits come two days after Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address, during which he assailed Trump, though not directly by name, for threatening individual rights, freedom and democracy.
