Trump says his trial is like one of the "banana republics"

Former president Donald Trump, Republican candidate for next November’s elections, said on Saturday that the criminal proceedings that have been opened against him are something that is done in “banana republics” or third world countries, not in a country like the United States, and blamed the president, Joe Biden, for the legal problems he faces.

The New York magnate gave a campaign rally in Wildwood (New Jersey), where he directly blamed Biden for the southern border crisis, which allows, he said, “Millions of prisoners and people released from mental institutions flood the United Statesfor which he promised “strong, not open borders” with Mexico, if he reached the White House.

The former president (2017-2021) and New York magnate gave a long campaign rally in Wildwood (New Jersey), where he squarely blamed Biden for the crisis at the southern border that allows, he said, “millions of prisoners and people released from institutions mental attacks flood the United States, which is why he promised “strong, not open borders” with Mexico, if he reaches the White House.

Trump referred on several occasions to the criminal cases he has open and, in a mocking tone, said at one point that “they (the Democrats and Biden) rigged everything with the Department of Justice” and they have brought more charges against him than the famous ‘gangster’ Alcapone.

He argued that this is more typical of “third world or a banana republic”, but that “it is not done in a country like the United States”, and that, furthermore, “they waited for the elections”, until they saw how their candidacy was developing, to do it.

He charged on numerous occasions against Biden, whom he accused of being a “imbecile, incompetent and corrupt”“the worst president the United States has ever had” and that “everyone laughs at him.”

He also held Biden responsible for the rise in food prices, citizen insecurity, high inflation, the rise in mortgage and energy rates, factors that, he stressed, are hitting the country’s middle class.

“If Biden wins this election, the middle class loses; but if Trump wins, the middle class wins,” Trump, 77, said before what is likely his first major rally in the New York area, which drew about 30,000 people.

In his vitriolic and continuous attack he even said: “We could take the ten worst presidents in the history of our country and together they have not done the damage that this idiot has done”, words that were cheered by the tens of thousands of followers present. .

“This country will not survive four more years of Biden. We want the American dream, not the chaos and inflationary nightmare of Joe Biden,” He said, to ensure that one of his priorities, upon returning to the White House, is to make “communities safer and end the” defunding “of the Police.
