US President Joe Biden started the hot phase of the election campaign with a sharp attack on Republican Donald Trump. Trump is willing to “sacrifice our democracy” to return to power.
On the eve of the third anniversary of the storming of the Capitol by Trump’s supporters, the Democrat accused his predecessor of wanting to “steal history” with lies.
“We all know who Donald Trump is,” Biden said. “The question is: who are we?” There was no statement from Trump. Shortly before the speech, his campaign team released a spot calling Biden “the true destroyer of democracy.”
Biden accused Trump of waging a re-election campaign aimed at exacting “revenge and retaliation” against political opponents. The Republican called his opponents “vermin,” “the exact same language used in Nazi Germany.” Biden said, almost in a whisper, “How dare he? Who the hell does he think he is?”

Trump will “act like a dictator”
Democrats have been warning for months that the United States would descend into an autocracy if Trump were re-elected. In early December, he said he wanted to act like a dictator on the “first day” after his re-election. He has also stated that he will investigate, arrest and take other action against his political opponents.
In recent months, Biden has repeatedly referred to the danger that Trump, according to his portrayal, poses to American democracy. Trump and his lawyers have rejected the charge of an insurrection against the US. His statements of January 6, 2021 fell under freedom of expression.
Trump is currently fighting on many fronts
Donald Trump has not yet commented on Biden’s spot. He is currently fighting on many fronts and dealing with all kinds of procedures. The US Supreme Court wants to rule on February 8 on his participation in the primaries for the Republican presidential candidate.
Trump had turned to the court to overturn a ruling by the state of Colorado that disqualified him from the 2021 primaries due to his role in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
Due to the various rulings, it was considered very likely that the dispute in the primaries would ultimately end up in the Supreme Court. A substantive Supreme Court decision on Colorado’s primaries should also resolve outstanding cases in other states, as plaintiffs’ arguments are the same everywhere.
