āHere is what is becoming clearer and clearer every day. The threat that Trump poses would be greater in a second term than it was in his first term. This isnāt the same Trump who got elected in 2016. Heās worse,ā Biden said, according to prepared remarksā¦
āSomething snapped in him when he lost in 2020. He canāt accept he lost, and it is literally driving him crazy,ā he added. āNow heās running again. And heās not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he is clearly unhinged.ā
Biden called Trump a āconvicted felon,ā which his campaign has done several times since the conviction, but it marks the first time the president has.
āFor the first time in American history a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,ā Biden said. āBut as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.ā
The presidentās remarks came during a fundraiser with wealthy donors in Greenwich, Conn., and follows comments on the conviction on Friday, during which he said its āirresponsibleā for Trump to say the trial was rigged.
Biden on Monday told donors that he thinks Trump is running to keep his freedom.
āThroughout this campaign Trump has made it clear he is running to exact for revenge,ā the president said. āNow after his criminal convictions itās clear heās worried about preserving his freedoms.ā
Additionally, the president outlined recent comments from Trump, including that he would be a dictator on day one of a potential second term and that if he doesnāt get elected it will be a āblood bath.ā
A jury found Trump guilty Thursday on all counts of falsifying business records to conceal alleged affairs during his 2016 campaign. Trump has since called the trial ārigged,ā and he has vowed to appeal the case.>>>
It depends on whether you think the Justice system is fair. I personally think the justice system is unfair, but since it is biased in Trumpās favour, his conviction is an even larger blemish on his track record. Of course it should also weigh heavily that this crime directly relates to misleading Americans prior to an election.
