A stuttering and addlepated Joe Biden made his first speech of the 2024 campaign in which he likened President Trump to Nazis!
With lower-than-ever approval ratings as he officially enters the quest for a second term, the unpopular incumbent warned that the “twice-impeached former president” is “willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.”
The 81-year-old Democrat branded his likely challenger in November a “loser” and “sick” in a speech on the eve of the third anniversary of the deadly January 6 Capitol attack by pro-Trump supporters.
“He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power,” Biden told supporters, alternating between whispers and furious shouts as he laid into the man he beat in 2020.
Not only had the twice-impeached former president instigated the Capitol attack, but the tycoon and his followers were still embracing “political violence” ahead of the 2024 vote, said Biden.
“He calls those who oppose him vermin. He talks about the blood of Americans being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany,” he added.
Biden chose a symbolic location for the speech near Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, the historic site where George Washington rallied American forces fighting their British colonial rulers nearly 250 years ago.
He portrayed himself as a defender of America’s institutions, warning that if Trump won a second term in the White House, then democracy itself was at risk. “Trump’s assault on democracy isn’t just part of his past. It’s what he’s promising for the future,” said Biden.
Resorting to such “name-calling” is all Biden has in a rematch against President Trump. Biden lags behind Trump in almost all respected polls right now, particularly in the battleground states that gave him his victory in 2020. Biden also has the worst approval rating of any modern president at this stage in his term of office.
The current president has failed to convince voters the economy is improving, while migration remains a headache, and US support for Ukraine and Israel remains divisive among voters.
But perhaps Biden’s biggest vulnerability is his age: as America’s oldest-ever president, he has suffered a series of trips and verbal slips that make most Americans rightfully feel he is unfit for another four years in the Oval Office.
