### Trump Addresses January 6 and Future Elections Amid Pennsylvania Rally Interruptions
Former President Donald Trump asserted on Tuesday that the 2020 presidential election saw a "peaceful transfer of power," downplaying the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot where his supporters violently stormed the building. He made these remarks at the Economic Club of Chicago. His comments did not clarify whether he would ensure a peaceful transition of power in case of a loss in the upcoming presidential election next month.
In a separate event, Trump was forced to adapt during a Pennsylvania town hall when two separate medical emergencies abruptly interrupted proceedings. The former president filled the unexpected gaps by having songs played for over thirty minutes, ultimately leading to the event being cut short on Monday night. The Trump campaign labeled the spontaneous concert "very special." Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris's team commented on social media that Trump "appears lost, confused," with Harris adding, "Hope he's okay."
In a different conversation, former President Trump unveiled a plan to use a centuries-old law to conduct mass deportations. He aims to employ the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a statute originally designed to detain "enemy aliens" during wartime. This proposal raises significant concerns about the potential unjust detention of lawful immigrants and their American-born children. The legal landscape for this endeavor remains uncertain under the Supreme Court, which currently has a conservative majority.
