The US President gave a speech in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, the historic site of the American Revolutionary War (between 1777 and 1778, this was the winter camp of the army led by George Washington). Joe Biden returns to attack his main opponent head-on. A hard, calculated, deliberate attack. Trump, the president states without hesitation, is prepared to “sacrifice” American democracy. The push, by which Biden hopes to revive his candidacy, is intended to highlight the serious risks he believes the tycoon would pose to the Stars and Stripes' democracy.
“Donald Trump's campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. (He) is willing to sacrifice our democracy to gain power,” the president said. “The most pressing question of our time is whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause. That is the meaning of the 2024 election.” It seems to be the modern rendition of the eternal battle between good and evil. But this, too, may serve to close ranks and mobilize the Democratic base to get back to the top as polls show the president is behind Trump.
Biden does not forgive Trump for his refusal to denounce political violence, particularly in the context of the events of January 6, 2021 (the attack on Congress). “Hear me clearly: I will say what Donald Trump won’t say. Political violence is never, ever, ever acceptable in the United States political system. There is no place for political violence in a democracy.” And he added what he thought of these difficult days for the United States: Those who took part in the attack on the Capitol were insurrectionists, not patriots, and later added adding that the riot was a “violent attack” and not a peaceful protest. “By attempting to rewrite the events of January 6,” the president added, “Trump is attempting to do this.” Stealing history in the same way he tried to steal the election. But we knew the truth because we saw it with our own eyes.
To raise the level of conflict even further, Biden compares his challenger's language to that of the Nazis. “Trump talked about poisoned American blood. Use it.” The same language as the Nazis“. And again regarding the attack on the Capitol: “He told the people to fight and that he would be by their side, then, as usual, he left the dirty work to others and began to watch the events on television and.” He didn’t do anything.
