Former President Donald Trump shredded President Joe Biden when he spoke to fans at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday.
“Joe [Biden] and his henchmen have you trapped, and it’s an express train barreling toward servitude and to ruin. It’s moving at a speed that Joe doesn’t understand because Joe… I don’t think he knows what the hell’s going on, to be honest with you, but he’s surrounded by some very bad fascists,” he said.
“A vote for Trump is your ticket back to freedom. It’s your passport out of tyranny. And it’s your only escape from Joe Biden and his gang’s fast track to hell. And in many ways, we’re living in hell right now,” the former president added.
“The fact is, Joe Biden is a threat to democracy, he really is. I stand before you today not only as your past and hopefully future president but as a proud political dissident. I am a dissident,” Trump said. “Remember, this, I’ve been indicted more than Alphonse Capone… I’ve been indicted more times by this gang of thugs… for bulls**t.
“It’s very dangerous what’s going on. They’ve weaponized the government. They’ve weaponized the DOJ and the FBI. We’ve never had anything like this in this country, and it’s a phenomenon that’s taken place many times, but in third-world countries and in banana republics, not in the United States of America,” Trump continued. “So it’s very dangerous, and they are indeed a threat to democracy.
“And I’m here to unleash this captive nation from Joe Biden and his gang of very bad people, very sick people — smart people, intelligent people, but they’re hell-bent on the destruction of American freedom,” he said.
Last week, when he spoke to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, he challenged the president to a series of debates:
INGRAHAM: We’re going to get — we’re going to get into that in a minute, but back to Biden and his current state, whatever you want to call it, will you challenge him to regular debates?
TRUMP: Yeah.
INGRAHAM: Regardless of the concern about the moderators, I know that’s always annoying. But — I’ll be happy to moderate one, by the way. Would you — would you challenge him —
INGRAHAM: Come on, Joe. You can do it
Would you challenge him to a debate regularly on focused specific topics? In other words —
TRUMP: Yeah.
INGRAHAM: — it’s not a wide-ranging, just one debate on foreign policy?
TRUMP: Well, I’ll do it right now on your show. I’ll challenge him right now. And — we can do you. You can do anybody you want. I’ll take anybody from CNN, which is doing very poorly in the ratings by the way as you probably know.
TRUMP: I’ll take anybody because I think you have an obligation in this case. You really have an obligation to debate.
When it came to the Republicans, you know, I was up by 40, 50, 60 points, like being up on her. I think a poll just came out, I’m at 91 and she’s at 7.
