Former US President Donald Trump used a Pennsylvania rally to vent his anger at an FBI search of his Florida home and President Joe Biden’s attack on political extremism, staking his claim as his successor’s election rival in 2024.
Declaring Biden an “enemy of the state,” Trump mixed support for two Republican candidates with a rejoinder to the president’s speech 48 hours earlier in Philadelphia, where Biden denounced what he called anti-democratic forces within the Trump movement.
“Joe Biden came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to give the most vicious, hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president,” the former president said on Saturday in Wilkes-Barre. “His speech was hatred and anger.”
Trump then launched into a grievance-filled speech about the FBI search, the five-year-old investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia, former opponent Hillary Clinton’s emails, the outcome of the 2020 election, crime rates, the Mexican border and the social-media giants his own company is now competing with – while lavishing praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
