Biden: Trump movement is a threat to US democracy

According to him, extremist threats from supporters of the ex-president could change the institutions of American democracy.

US President Joe Biden harshly commented on the attacks of his rival Donald Trump . He said that the politician’s movement threatens US democracy.

“Something dangerous is happening in America right now. There is an extremist movement that does not share the core beliefs of our democracy: the MAGA movement (Make America Great Again – Trump’s campaign slogan in the last election – ed.). There is no doubt that today’s Republican Party “is driven and intimidated by Republican MAGA extremists. Their extremist agenda, if implemented, will fundamentally change the institutions of American democracy as we know them,” Biden said, as quoted by  CNN .

The American leader recalled that Trump openly said that the Constitution gives him the right to do whatever he wants as president.

“I’ve never heard a president say that as a joke,” he added.

Biden also alluded to Trump’s recent proposal to execute Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and said Republican silence on the comment was “deafening.”

“We must all remember: democracies do not necessarily die at gunpoint. They can die when people are silent, when they cannot rise up. I believe in free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power. I believe that in America there is no place – neither one, not one, not one – political violence,” he added.

Trump’s scandalous statements

Let us remind you that presidential elections will be held in the United States in 2024. Although Trump faces several charges, and  a court recently found him guilty of fraud , he does not stop making loud statements about the United States itself, Europe, and the war in Ukraine.

For example, Trump recently said that the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,  Mark Milley,  was allegedly guilty of “treason” and “deserves to be executed.” According to the former US President, Milley allegedly negotiated with China behind his back.

In addition, he criticized the US Air Force and the F-35 aircraft produced by Lockheed Martin, calling these fighters ” defective .”

For Ukraine, Trump is remembered for his loud promises to “end the war in 24 hours,” calls to “give” Crimea to Russia in exchange for peace, and words that if he were the president of the United States, the Russian Federation allegedly would not have decided on a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

      • In 2014, where was America, or the West, as I did not see them in Ukraine, nor weapons sent to fight the Ruzzian Communists??

        So did Obama/Biden have dick in their mouth, as well as the rest of the West?

    • Remember too, it was Biden who loves the Chinese and Ruzzian’s. Making deals with the Communists, is a Biden thing for decades.

    • Biden isn’t jailing anyone. If you’re referring to the Trump indictments, a federal grand jury brought the indictment, at the behest of a special counsel, named by the attorney general, Merrick B. Garland, precisely to insulate the legal investigation of Mr. Trump from any perceived or real pressure from the president or his political appointees.

      The claim that it’s political has been dismissed by many experienced Republican legal minds, such as Mr. Trump’s own attorney general, William P. Barr, and the retired appeals court judge J. Michael Luttig. Judge Luttig wrote on Twitter on the day of Mr. Trump’s arraignment, “There is not an Attorney General of either party who would not have brought today’s charges against the former president.”

  1. The orange moron is indeed a threat to us and our political system. The orange one has a very twisted way to interpret democracy. And, if he has nothing but love and admiration for the likes of putin, the fat idiot in north korea, and other non-democratic criminals, this should expose his true nature to even the most narrow-minded birdbrain.
    But, is Biden any better? He’s also a danger to this country. His opening our borders is a blessing to the drug cartels, human traffickers and every other criminal entity there is. His disastrous exit from Afghanistan is a permanent source of embarrassment, and his piss poor handling of the war in Ukraine is a virtual green light for bat virus land to sharpen its swords.
    I wish we had a more sensible electorate in this country. Surely, we have better to offer in politics out of 350 million people.

    • Amen and well said Sir OFP. Biden is as divisive as the orange baboon and combined with a lack of mental acuity makes him as dangerous. God how did this country get so low so fast?

    • If I remember, when I immigrated to America in 2016, my testing of America and history at immigration, said, America is NOT a Democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic.

      What policies of Trump did you not like? For Ukraine, Trump did well. If you like Ukraine so much, then why do you want harm to Ukraine?

      • Why do you stick up for the orange one so much? Just because he sent Ukraine a few things? They were by far not enough to make good our failure to keep our word in the Budapest Memorandum. I appreciated it too, at the time, but was sorely disappointed that nothing more and not better stuff was sent. And, you are totally ignoring his praises for Vlad. Are you deaf and blind?

      • “America is NOT a Democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic.”

        A claim made by Republicans to leave Democrats out of the picture. In fact, the United States is a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

        Why? Because:

        • The United States is a sovereign state where citizens vote in their representatives.
        • The United States have a form of government where all citizens are equally entitled (more or less, the US isn’t a pure democracy) to vote.
        • The United States’ government is based on a constitution.

  2. Biden’s are American criminals.

    Jail would be too nice to them.

    Biden and Obama made the invasion happen in Ukraine in 2014 and 2022.

    No love lost for Communist sympathizers

    • “Biden’s are American criminals”

      I’m not interested in any Bidens who don’t hold public office. There’s never been any evidence presented that *Joe* Biden has done anything criminal.

      James Comer’s witnesses at the sham impeachment inquiry all said they had no evidence of President Biden doing anything wrong.

      Jonathan Turley: “I do not believe that the current evidence would support articles of impeachment”

      And Bruce G. Dubinsky said, “I am not here today to even suggest that there was corruption, fraud or any wrongdoing.”

  3. Biden and Trump are both full of shit! They are unable to unite America because they keep polarizing society. BTW, illegal immigrants have no right for asylum, neither in the United States nor Europe according to the LAW!
