Donald Trump declared Joe Biden an “enemy of the state” when he responded to the American president’s assertion that the Republican predecessor and his supporters are undermining American democracy.
In his first public appearance since the FBI’s search of his Florida home on August 8, Trump told a rally in Pennsylvania that the search was “a travesty of justice” and warned it would produce a response the likes of which no one had ever seen.
– There cannot be a more vivid example of the very real threats to American freedoms than just a few weeks ago, you see, when we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in American history – said Trump, despite the existence of protocols by which the Department of Justice and the FBI they operate independently of the White House.
Trump told supporters at a “Save America” rally in Wilkes-Barre that the “outrageous abuse of the law” would produce “a backlash like no one has ever seen.”
“There can be no more vivid example of the very real threats from American freedom than just a few weeks ago, you saw, when we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in American history,” Trump claimed, reported by France24 .
