“Here is what is becoming clearer and clearer every day. The threat that Trump poses would be greater in a second term than it was in his first term. This isn’t the same Trump who got elected in 2016. He’s worse,” Biden said, according to prepared remarks…
“Something snapped in him when he lost in 2020. He can’t accept he lost, and it is literally driving him crazy,” he added. “Now he’s running again. And he’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he is clearly unhinged.”
Biden called Trump a “convicted felon,” which his campaign has done several times since the conviction, but it marks the first time the president has.
“For the first time in American history a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” Biden said. “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.”
The president’s remarks came during a fundraiser with wealthy donors in Greenwich, Conn., and follows comments on the conviction on Friday, during which he said its “irresponsible” for Trump to say the trial was rigged.
Biden on Monday told donors that he thinks Trump is running to keep his freedom.
“Throughout this campaign Trump has made it clear he is running to exact for revenge,” the president said. “Now after his criminal convictions it’s clear he’s worried about preserving his freedoms.”
Additionally, the president outlined recent comments from Trump, including that he would be a dictator on day one of a potential second term and that if he doesn’t get elected it will be a “blood bath.”
A jury found Trump guilty Thursday on all counts of falsifying business records to conceal alleged affairs during his 2016 campaign. Trump has since called the trial “rigged,” and he has vowed to appeal the case.>>>
Dang. It’s nice when he says something so directly.
Gloves off, now’s the time to go on the offensive

There was a joke from the 2020 election where people were willing to pay to watch Biden and Trump duke it out in a boxing ring, or even just on the election debate stage.
I would still pay to see it. It would go down in history as legendary.
Nothing snapped. He has always been a piece of shit. He’s been a liar, cheat, rapist, fraud, moron, and a piss poor businessman his entire life. There are no shortage of stories backed by very real evidence. Much of it is on video. The difference is that now it’s out in the open, and for some reason that appeals to fellow idiots and racists.
The real story is how broken our education and legal systems are. I knew there were problems, but it’s so much worse than I could have imagined.
Oh. I’m pretty sure a few buttons have snapped off from all the hammered-fueled doomscrolling he does.
Do buttons count?
You know… I don’t think someone being a convicted felon should stop them becoming president. I mean look at Nelson Mandela.
But I’m Trump’s case… It’s the person that’s just a fucking psychopath.
It depends on whether you think the Justice system is fair. I personally think the justice system is unfair, but since it is biased in Trump’s favour, his conviction is an even larger blemish on his track record. Of course it should also weigh heavily that this crime directly relates to misleading Americans prior to an election.
“I will be your vengeance.”
Trump is telling us exactly who he is. Listen.
After 2020? I would say before that, even pre Obama
Well said
