The billionaire Republican, who dreams of being re-elected in November and returning to the White House on Jan. 20, 2025, meets with voters for the first time in eight days since leaving the presidency on Jan. 20. , 2021.
On January 6, 2021, exactly three years after his supporters staged an unprecedented attack on a congressional seat in Washington, Donald Trump made the pledge in a speech that lasted more than two hours in Newton, near the regional capital of Des Moines. “Third term victory” in the presidential election in November.
“Scandal Joe”
Defeated four years after being elected in November 2016, the Republican Party considers the election victory “stolen” from Democrat Joe Biden, 81, calling him “Joe-la-Scrabble” again. Fun made.
Describing Joe Biden as the “worst” president in US history, 77-year-old Donald Trump, who overturned American democracy in less than a decade, lamented that the world's leading power was “in decline”.
As in the 1930s, he assessed that his country was in danger of “World War III” and “Depression,” and warned a few hundred jubilant MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) supporters in the Newton Room: “This is our last chance to save America.”
“Sick”, “dictator”, “electoral denier”: Joe Biden kicks off his election campaign with his view of Donald Trump
“I'm a Dictator”
Ironically, the billionaire declared: “I'm a dictator.”
Earlier in the day, in a campaign speech focused on defending “democracy” in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden compared his rival's rhetoric to “Nazi Germany.”
Despite his legal setbacks and the risk of prison for his efforts to alter the results of the November 2020 presidential election, polls show Donald Trump with 60% of the Republican vote against his main opponents, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
He didn't hold back from mocking his two Republican rivals.
In Iowa and many conservative states across the country, the septuagenarian has a loyal base that brushes aside his escapades and legal troubles.
The attack on the Capitol, the temple of American democracy, is deeply divided in America: a quarter of Americans and 44% of Trump voters believe, without evidence, that the Federal Police (FBI) was involved in the attack. First, according to a study conducted by the Washington Post and the University of Maryland.
1,200 people were arrested
The same FBI announced on Saturday that it had arrested three people in Florida on January 6. A sprawling 35-month investigation is still ongoing, with authorities charging more than 1,200 people in nearly all 50 US states. More than half were convicted.
Mr. For Trump, they are “hostages.”
He has denied for three years that he incited his supporters to riot – new images of the violence aired on television on Saturday – and on January 6, 2021, Joe Biden's victory certified Joe Biden in a blow to Congress.
So a criminal trial is due to begin in Washington on March 4 to address the pressure he has exerted to overturn the results.
“Super Tuesday” in about fifteen states: Texas, California…but also Colorado and Maine: it will be ahead of the big deadline in the Republican primaries.
The latter two states declared him ineligible for the presidency in December due to his actions on January 6, 2021. The Supreme Court took up the matter on Friday, though it was waiting for a decision in February. Primary ballot.
