Trump Calls Biden 'Enemy of the State' at First Rally Since FBI Raid

At his first rally since the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump took aim at President Joe Biden and the Democrat’s recent warnings about “MAGA Republicans.”

Speaking to supporters in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on Saturday, the former president addressed Biden’s primetime speech by deeming it the “most vicious, hateful, and divisive speech ever delivered by a [U.S.] president.”

Trump claimed Biden was “vilifying 75 million citizens, plus another probably 75 to 150 [million], if we want to be accurate about it, as threats to democracy and as enemies of the state.”

“You’re all enemies of the state,” he told the crowd to boos against Biden. “He’s an enemy of the state if you want to know the truth. The enemy of the state is him and the group that control him, which is circling around him. ‘Do this, do that, Joe.'”

Trump railed against the speech further, saying it was nothing but “hatred and anger” from the president. He also noted the red background for the speech, which numerous critics have mocked and criticized.

said, it would suit the GOP if the Democrats did what they don't have the cojones to do themselves. I'd be shocked if they don't all fall in line once Trump announces.

That he perceives the President as being told what to do by a bunch of cronies isn't far from the actuality. It's the caliber of those cronies that makes the difference.

Thanks for sharing this, RandySF.

Wait...was he describing Biden's speech or every speech he's ever given at one of his hatefests, err, rallies?

and repeating his total bullshit. They don't care much about our democracy either. It's pretty self-defeating though as the orange slobfather would turn on them if he was in power again - with much more permanent consequences.
