Donald Trump was back in Eastern Carolina for Tuesday's rally in Kenansville.

His jet landed around 4:00 p.m. at Albert Ellis Airport outside of Richlands. He took the stage shortly after 5:00 p.m. and spoke for about 45 minutes.

People were lined up outside the Duplin County Events Center, ahead of the visit.

This is Trump's second visit this month to Eastern Carolina. Two weeks ago, he made a campaign stop in Greenville.

Donald Trump is describing the nation's African-American communities as being "in the worst shape that they've ever been." Ever.

Trump said, "We're going to rebuild our inner cities because our African American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they've ever been in before, ever, ever, ever."

The New York billionaire has made similar comments before as he works to improve his standing among minority voters.

President Obama won North Carolina in 2008 thanks in large part to his support from the black community. Obama narrowly lost the state in 2012, but earned 96 percent of the black vote.

Trump says his Democratic rival is "the chief emissary for globalism."

He used the phrase as he accused Hillary Clinton of caring more about so-called special interests than what's best for the country.

It's part of his "America First" theme, in which he says he's not running to be president of the world, but president of the United States.

The declaration drew chants of "USA!" from the crowd.

Trump is also bragging about how much less he's spent on ads and organizing than his Democratic rival.

He told the North Carolina crowd that if they don't vote, he's "going to feel very, very foolish" because of how much personal time and money he's invested in the race.

There were some protestors outside the event.

Retired Colonel and Clinton supporter Earl Atkinson, said, "Donald Trump is unqualified to be our next Commander In Chief. He doesn't have the personal history, he doesn't have the moral compass, he doesn't have the skill set or knowledge."
