Donald Trump walked off the stage, waving his arms and mocking Ron DeSantis

Mr. Trump then left the podium, waving his arms and downwards , which is reminiscent of Monty Python's «Ministry of Silly Walks.»

«He walks off stage like he's trying to keep his balance,» he said. “I thought he was wearing skates. Who cares?

DeSantis's pose while wearing cowboy boots in recent weeks has sparked speculation on social media that he is wearing lifters to increase his height.

Zephan Parker, a shoemaker at the Parker Boot Company in Houston, Texas, told Politico in late October that DeSantis «wears elevators, there's no doubt about it.»

Graham Ebner, a shoemaker in Austin, Texas, agreed, saying, “Three things stand out to me. The instep, the spring of the toe and where the ball of the foot is in the shoes.»

Mr. DeSantis' campaign has strongly denied suggestions that he wears shoes that increase his height.

The Florida governor told the PBD podcast in October that his cowboy boots were «just standard, off-the-shelf Lucchese boots.» .

'A serious threat from within'

Mr Trump also used his rally to attack the left, vowing to «root out» the «radical leftist thugs who live like parasites within our country.»

“The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and serious than the threat from within,” he said in a Veterans Day address.

He blamed President Joe Biden and the Democrats for causing inflation, rigging elections and bringing the country to the brink of World War III.

Mr Trump also praised China for sentencing drug traffickers to death execution, saying it was the solution to America's opioid crisis.

“President Xi Jinping in China has an iron fist over 1.4 billion people, no drug problem,” he said.

«Do you know why they don't have a drug problem? Death penalty for drug traffickers.

“If you want to solve your drug problem, you have to have a meaningful death penalty.”

Mr. Trump has previously called for the death penalty for drug traffickers , although that would apply to Alice Johnson, the woman whose 21-year sentence he commuted as president in 2018.

Mr Trump repeated his praise for Xi Jinping later during the rally, reflecting on that no Hollywood actor could do him justice.

“There is no one in Hollywood who could play the role of President Xi Jinping — his look, his strength, his voice,” he said.
