Angry Trump Calls Biden Admin the ‘Gestapo,’ Predicts ‘World War Three, and Everything Else!’
Donald Trump unleashed his anger against President Joe Biden at a closed door GOP fundraiser on Saturday where he made a speech that was “frustrated and often obscene,” according to The New York Times. In a Truth Social post the following morning, Trump attacked Biden as “a very dishonest man, a Manchurian Candidate” and predicted “World War Three, and everything else!”
“These people are running a Gestapo administration,” Trump said of Biden at the fundraiser hosted at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, audio of which was obtained by the Times. “And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion, and it’s actually killing them. But it doesn’t bother me.”
Trump baselessly accused the Biden administration of secretly masterminding the indictments against him in numerous jurisdictions, resulting in 88 criminal charges. Trump is facing business fraud charges in New York, classified documents charges in Florida, a state election interference case in Georgia, and a federal election interference case in Washington, D.C.
The former president espoused conspiracy theories about why he lost the election in 2020 and without evidence accused Democrats of cheating in elections and getting “welfare to vote.”
“When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions, and you have welfare,” Trump said Saturday. “And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote, and then they cheat on top of that. They cheat.”
Even Trump’s own former attorney general, William Barr, has called Trump’s election interference allegations “all bullshit” and admitted there was not voter fraud on any scale that would have influenced the election. At the fundraiser, Trump attacked Barr and said his future pick for attorney general would need “courage” should Trump win the presidency.
Speaking to donors, Trump mocked Special Counsel Jack Smith as “unattractive both inside and out,” adding, “This is one unattractive dude.” Trump then used “two expletives to describe” Smith, per the Times. According to NBC News, the former president called Smith an “evil thug” and “deranged.”
Trump also mentioned South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who was at the event but reportedly left early. He called Noem “somebody that I love” even though sources told Rolling Stone that Trump was “disgusted” by an anecdote in Noem’s book where she proudly described shooting her family dog.
On Sunday, Trump took his anger to his keyboard, posting a rambling message on Truth Social attacking his opponent. Trump blamed Biden for the anti-war protests that are taking place on college campuses and falsely claimed Biden is “unable to talk, unable to reason, unable to put two simple sentences together, unable to even climb 3 steps to a helicopter, or the main stairs to Air Force One.”
Trump also — without evidence — accused Biden of “receiving money, for no apparent reason, from foreign countries.”
“Now we have the protests, and Crooked Joe Biden doesn’t know what to do — Next will be World War Three, and everything else!” Trump wrote. “We are a Nation in Serious Decline, a Failing Nation, but we will not be a Failing Nation much longer. Four years ago we were a GREAT NATION, AND WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN!!! MAGA2024.”
During his speech on Saturday evening, Trump challenged donors in attendance to give $1 million that night. If they did, Trump promised, “I will let you come up and speak.” According to the Times, Trump “sounded disappointed until someone accepted the invitation.”
One of the people who accepted the challenge, per NBC, was a woman who came to the podium and stated that “Donald J. Trump is the person that God has chosen.”
