Former US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on his successor Joe Biden, accusing him of surrendering American college campuses to “jihadist freaks” and “anti-American extremists.” Speaking at a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, Trump claimed that the same people funding violent campus uprisings are also funding Biden’s campaign.
The ex-president criticized Biden for allowing pro-Palestine protests to escalate on college campuses, leading to calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. Trump labeled Biden as weak and accused him of surrounding himself with “fascists” in the Oval Office.
Trump vowed that if he were to return to the White House, he would not allow “violent radicals” to take over college campuses. He promised to deport anyone spreading “anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism” on campus.
The rally, held on a beachfront, was intended to showcase Trump’s strength as he faces multiple felony charges in various criminal cases. With the elections looming, Trump’s fiery rhetoric against Biden and the Democratic Party aimed to rally his supporters and paint a stark contrast between his leadership style and that of his successor.
As tensions continue to rise on college campuses across the US, Trump’s strong stance against extremism and violence resonates with his base, setting the stage for a contentious election season ahead.
