As the 2022 election season approaches, former President Donald Trump expressed his concern for America’s future if he were to lose to President Joe Biden. During a campaign event in Waukesha, Wisconsin on May 1st, Trump criticized Biden’s handling of the economy and immigration. He stated that the country’s survival would be at stake if he did not win re-election.
Trump’s campaign is emphasizing the contrast between what they view as his successful first term and what they see as Biden’s failed presidency. During his speech, Trump accused Biden of allowing the US to be “invaded” by migrants and being passive in the face of protests. He also reiterated his claim that the criminal charges he is facing are politically motivated, without providing evidence.
Observers believe that Trump and his supporters are trying to paint Biden and the Democrats as responsible for the country’s problems, particularly in terms of border security and economic management. Trump has faced multiple legal challenges, including charges related to his actions in overturning the 2020 election results and handling classified documents.
President Biden’s campaign has not missed the opportunity to mock Trump over his legal troubles, calling him “Sleepy Don” in reference to the former president’s nickname for Biden, “Sleepy Joe.” Biden has publicly commented on Trump’s legal issues, suggesting that the former president is preoccupied with pending court cases.
