President Says Indictments Allow Him To Retaliate Against Biden’s “Banana Republic’

During a campaign rally in Iowa, President Trump said the federal indictments he faces allow him to retaliate against President Biden if he wins the 2024 presidential election.

From The Hill:

Trump railed against the criminal justice system, speaking to a crowd of supporters in Iowa on Sunday, and accused the Justice Department under Biden of “cheating” and of targeting him for political purposes.

Trump compared the Biden administration to leaders of “banana republics.”

“They brought our country to a new level, and, but that allows – think of this – that allows us to do it to Biden, when he gets out,” Trump said to roaring applause from the audience. “And that would be very easy.”

“But I don’t want to do it. You know, once you, once you do that, you’ve set yourself on a very downward, very bad path. Very bad path, but a thing like this has never happened before.”

The 45^th President also said he considers the indictments against him as a badge of honor.

Trump also suggested he could have gone after Biden when he was in office, but he said he didn’t because “I had too much respect for the office to hit Joe Biden.”

“And I would never have done that until they did something that’s never been done. They indicted a former president,” Trump added. “And the only reason they indicted me is that we’re leading him in the polls. We’re killing them.”

President Trump also promised to keep the country safe, something Joe Biden has failed to do. He reminded supporters that, unlike his predecessors, he is the only president not to start a war.

Trump currently faces charges in two federal criminal cases, two state criminal cases, and in civil suits. He has said that the investigations into his actions were a result of his entrance into the 2024 presidential election.
