Biden Campaign Labels Trump Speech as ‘Pathetic’

The response from President Joe Biden’s campaign came after a press conference by former President Donald Trump following his guilty verdict in a New York criminal trial on Thursday.

“America just witnessed a confused, desperate, and defeated Donald Trump ramble about his own personal grievances and lie about the American justice system, leaving anyone watching with one obvious conclusion: This man cannot be president of the United States,” the Biden campaign posted on social media.

Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election by silencing a porn actor who alleged they had an affair. This trial and subsequent conviction marked the first time a former president has been tried or convicted in a criminal case.

During his press conference, Trump criticized Democrats, calling them “bad people” and “sick people,” while also attacking the Biden administration.

“They want to raise your taxes by four times. They want to stop you from having cars with their ridiculous mandates that make it impossible for you to get a car or afford a car,” he stated. “It makes it very possible for China to build all of our cars. It’s a very serious problem that we have. They’re destroying our country, our country is in very bad shape, and they’re very much against me saying these things.”

The Biden campaign accused Trump of being consumed by his own thirst for revenge.

“He thinks this election is about him,” the Biden campaign stated. “But it’s not. It’s about the American people: lowering their costs, protecting their freedoms, defending their democracy.”

According to the Biden campaign, Trump is “sowing chaos” and only concerned about himself.
