He denounces that Biden’s senile dementia will lead the United States to disaster.
Donald Trump yesterday raised the level of his challenge to the White House with the announcement that he will pardon his violent supporters who stormed the Capitol if he is re-elected president. He further revealed that he pays the insurgents’ legal debts and that his popularity levels have risen since the FBI raid on his mansion.
He thus responded to criticism from Joe Biden in his address to the nation on Thursday. The Republican leader aimed at the jugular and also denigrated the current president’s age, accusing him of being crazy or having senile dementia that, in his opinion, will lead the country to disaster.
“Liberal Democrat”
But Trump also mobilized the entire party apparatus to fight back. Its communications director, Taylor Budowich, described a country in “decline under the hand of Joe Biden and the Radical Democrat,” and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene accused the White House of destroying the economy, witnessing the rise of crime and to support a lax border policy. In addition, she blamed the government for the recent FBI raid on Trump’s mansion in Mar-a-Lago.
Other ‘trumpists’ such as Stephen Miller, one of the former president’s main former advisers, described Biden’s speech as dictatorial, typical of the “enemies of the state”. Speaking on the ultra-conservative Fox network, Miller, one of the promoters of anti-immigrant racism in the last legislature, described Biden as “another radical Marxist tyrant” involved in “repressive and authoritarian behavior.”
The president defended himself yesterday during the informal press conference on Fridays. In a more conciliatory tone, he pointed out that everything they defend (in his party) is based on the platform of democracy and that Trump’s voters in 2020 did not vote in favor of attacking the Capitol or nullifying the elections, but for a philosophy . This weekend’s long bridge – the United States commemorates Labor Day on Monday – marks the official start of the mid-term election season.
