Former President Donald Trump slammed President Biden at a rally on Saturday for Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz and hinted at a possible presidential run in 2024.
Trump, who’s Mar-a-Lago property was recently raided by the FBI, called Biden an ‘enemy of the state’ who vilified anybody that voted for Trump.

On Thursday, Biden gave a major speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia where he launched an incensed attack on Trump and accused him of ‘destroying American democracy’.
Biden also branded him – and MAGA Republicans who follow him – as ‘extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic’.
Trump referenced Biden’s controversial remarks on Saturday and said Philadelphia, considering the state of the city, was a perfect place for Biden to give such a divisive speech.
‘I think Philadelphia was a great choice to make this speech of hatred and anger,’ he said.

Standing on the darkened stage with ominous red lighting, the Biden called Trump out by name and slammed him for promoting the claim the 2020 election was stolen.
Although he made it clear he doesn’t think every Republican is ‘extreme’ or a threat, he said ‘there’s no question that the Republican party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.’
‘And that is a threat to this country,’ he added. ‘Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal.’

‘If he doesn’t want to Make America Great Again, which through words, action, and thought, he doesn’t, then he certainly should not be representing the United States of America!
‘If you look at the words and meaning of the awkward and angry Biden speech tonight, he threatened America, including with the possible use of military force. He must be insane, or suffering from late stage dementia!’
He also shared an uncaptioned image of Biden with the dark red lighting on the stage with his arms raised in fists next to a picture of himself kissing the American flag.
