“Corrupt” and “Unhinged”: Donald Trump and Joe Biden said everything to each other at different campaign events

The former president of United States Donald Trumpwho aspires to return to the White House, harangued his supporters this Saturday with insults towards his Democratic rival, the president Joe Bidenwho in turn stated at a campaign event that the Republican magnate is “unhinged.”

At an event in Dallas, Texas, where he received support from the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA), Trump said that Biden is “by far the worst president in the history of the country” and called the Democrat a “complete liar.”

“You’re fired, get out of here, Joe,” the magnate said, drawing laughter from the members of the audience, whom he assured that Biden would come for their firearms. Biden is “corrupt” and a “threat to democracy,” he added.

If the current president were a Republican, they would “give him the electric chair,” Trump concluded at the NRA event, a group related to the Republican Party for its position in favor of not restricting access to weapons despite the numerous shootings that occur in the country.

In addition to facing multiple criminal charges for his attempt to overturn the election results in 2020, Trump was campaigning in Texas during the weekend break for his criminal trial in New York, the first of a former US president.

Meanwhile, Biden participated this Saturday in an event in AtlantaGeorgia (south), a state in which the Democrat narrowly won in 2020.

“Our democracy is really at risk,” Biden told a group of supporters gathered at Mary Mac’s Tea Room restaurant, owned by African-Americans, a key audience for his November presidential campaign.

And to applause he added: “My opponent is not a good loser. But he is a loser.”

“He’s not just obsessed with having lost in 2020. He’s crazy (…) Trump is not running to lead the country. “He’s doing it out of revenge,” he said.

Biden has repeatedly called for reinstating the long-standing ban on military-style assault weapons, among other restrictions.

More than 40,000 gun-related deaths occurred in the United States last year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
