In a video posted on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump issued a warning to President Joe Biden, suggesting that the ongoing indictments against him could have consequences if Trump is reelected. Trump’s remarks touched on several key points:
- Presidential Immunity Claim: Trump reiterated his belief in presidential immunity, asserting that he, as a former president and commander-in-chief, was entitled to immunity. He argued that every president has such immunity, especially considering the job he did.
- Voter Fraud Allegations: Trump maintained his claims of finding “tremendous amounts of voter fraud” in the 2020 election, emphasizing that he was fulfilling his mandate to look for voter fraud.
- Criticism of Indictments: Trump criticized the state and federal indictments against him, characterizing them as a political move orchestrated by Biden. He referred to the Department of Justice as the “Department of Injustice” and accused Biden of using it against him.
- Warning to Biden: Trump warned Biden to be careful, suggesting that similar legal actions could be taken against Biden by the next president. He highlighted the statute of limitations extending back six years and urged caution.
- Corruption Allegations: Trump accused Biden of being involved in a corrupt election and receiving money from foreign countries. He argued that Biden should not indict his political opponent for opposing what he deemed a corrupt election.
The warning appeared to be a preemptive strike by Trump, framing the legal actions against him as politically motivated and suggesting potential consequences for Biden in the future. The message aligns with Trump’s narrative of victimization and his ongoing disputes over the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
