First modification:
Donald Trump took a mass bath on Saturday night in Pennsylvania, and took the opportunity to declare that the true enemy for the United States was his successor, Joe Biden. He also accused the US president of using the FBI against him.
It was his first public appearance since the August 8 raid on his Mar-a-Lago mansion, and it did not go unnoticed. On Saturday night, from Pennsylvania, Donald Trump called Joe Biden an “enemy of the state.”
The attack intervenes as a response to his successor. Joe Biden declared in effect this week that Donald Trump and Republican supporters “represent extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
Trump called that speech the “most vicious, hateful, and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president.” Before striking back: “The Republicans in the ‘Make America Great Again’ movement are not the ones trying to undermine our democracy. We are the ones trying to save our democracy, very simply. The danger to democracy comes from the radical left, not from the right”.
The former president’s speech at a Wilkes-Barre pavilion came at a time of mounting legal pressure on him over documents found by the FBI at his Mar-a-Lago estate. And his speech was also the occasion to describe the search as a “parody of justice”: “There cannot be a more vivid example of the very real threats to American freedom than just a few weeks ago, you saw, when we witnessed one of the most outrageous abuses of power by any administration in the history of the United States,” Trump said.
However, such a claim that the Biden administration may have directed the raid runs counter to long-standing protocols, under which the Justice Department and the FBI act independently of the White House. Still, Trump warned that this “appalling abuse of the law” would produce “a backlash the likes of which has never been seen.”
The Justice Department said highly classified government documents, including some marked “Top Secret,” were discovered in Trump’s personal office during the raid. A detailed list of what was seized also showed that Trump had more than 11,000 unclassified government records that he claims are his but are legally owned by the country’s National Archives.
A resounding entry in the legislative elections
It is no coincidence that Donald Trump turned up in Pennsylvania for the November midterm elections: the state is key in every election. An example of this is that Biden won in the 2020 presidential election and Trump in the 2016 election.
The politician was in the state to promote two Republican candidates for senator and governor: Dr. Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano. They both spoke briefly; but the rally really revolved around one person. A former president who hinted at his intentions towards the White House again, without announcing them openly: “I ran twice and won twice. I did better in the second than in the first. Maybe I have to do it again” .
Trump estimated that the mid-term elections will be a referendum on “inflation skyrocketing”, the “millions and millions of immigrants” who enter the country illegally or the “corruption and extremism of Joe Biden.” The Democrats are immersed in a desperate attempt to keep me from going back to the White House, where they know I will clean up this mess again. They want to prevent us from completing our mission to restore American values,” concluded the former president to a standing ovation from the public.
