He maintained his destructive and victimizing rhetoric, typical of the martyr who pretends to be for his faithful. But Donald Trump was seen with little energy in his post-indictment tirade, of just 30 minutes, less than half the usual time, which he delivered Tuesday night upon returning from Florida to his mansion and club in Bedminster, New Jersey. .
After appearing before a Miami court, where he pleaded not guilty to the 37 charges made for stealing secret documents and not returning them, in addition to obstruction of justice and falsehood, the former president established himself at the center of the universe and proclaimed that this day had ended. produced “the most evil and egregious abuse of power in the history of our country.”
In the fundraising act, since in the criminal accusations against him he has hit an edge to ask for money, Trump maintained that his accusation was an act of corruption and “a political persecution” that seeks his destruction. So he tore apart the secrets law, from which the most serious accusations stem, and insisted on the lie of his power to declassify anything.
“A nice birthday,” he responded to the anticipated “happy birthday” chants. This Wednesday she turns 77 years old.
As he already did last Saturday, he assured that the entire accusation, perfectly detailed in his evidence in the prosecutor’s brief, was a falsehood and that the boxes of documents that appear in the photos were put up by the FBI agents themselves. The entry and search they carried out was done with witnesses from Trump’s own team.
So, without any evidence, he accused his successor in the White House as the hand of the evil one who pulls the strings to prevent him from being his rival again in the 2024 elections, although he has not yet won the Republican nomination.
“Biden will always be remembered as not only the most corrupt president in the history of our country, but perhaps most importantly, the president who along with a gang of thugs, misfits and Marxists tried to destroy American democracy,” he said. As one of the gang, he was again described by special counsel Jack Smith as insane, manic, or violent.
His confrontational rhetoric, of belligerent factions, sounds more than shocking when one thinks that he has not yet accepted his defeat in 2020 and that another possible charge hangs over him, one more, for his incitement to the failed coup on January 6. of 2021, when he tried to prevent Congress from ratifying Biden’s victory and he perpetuated himself in the Government. Nor should it be forgotten that he even suggested the repeal of the Constitution to facilitate his return to power.
Not content with that outburst, Trump still escalated his attack. “I will appoint a special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family.”
At that moment, in the audience, a brief shout of “jail him up” was heard, something to which, today, Trump is closer than the current president.
But the Trumpist fervor spread to Fox, its friendly television, and its great propaganda machine. They did a double broadcast because at the same time that Trump was speaking, Biden was doing the same at a reception. A banner appeared on the screen reading: “Would-be dictator speaks at White House after political rival of his is arrested.”
Trump was already indicted in April in a New York court for possible falsifications to conceal payment to a porn actress for her silence. And he is still waiting for the aforementioned case on January 6, 2021 or the alleged pressure to subvert the electoral result in the state of Georgia.
