You have two and a half weeks before the US presidential election. Donald Trump headline his attacks on his Contradict Joe Biden tight. “Joe Biden is a corrupt politician,” the Republican said during a campaign appearance in Ocala, Florida. “And the Biden family is a criminal enterprise.” Meanwhile, “New York Times” commentators asked voters to vote for Trump in a disturbing opinion piece.
Trump’s re-election efforts “represents the greatest threat to American democracy since World War II”writes the Editorial Board, a group of commentators who work independently of the newsroom of the prestigious American newspaper. “The enormity and variety of Mr. Trump’s offenses can be overwhelming. The repetition has dulled feelings of outrage and the accumulation of new emotion leaves little time to go into detail.”
Rules out of force
Trump’s appearance in Florida is another example of his kind of overriding rules and customs as president. The 74-year-old man accused his rival and his family of getting rich “while America was robbed.” Trump described the “mainstream media” as “enemies of the people” and accused them of failing to report on “the world’s greatest story”, referring to the alleged corruption of Democrat Biden.
Trump supporters chanted “Lock him up” when Biden’s name was mentioned. This is the slogan used by Trump supporters in the election campaign four years ago to introduce his rival Hillary Clinton. Trump has been raising corruption allegations against former Vice President Biden and his son Hunter for a long time and without proof, which have now been fired by the “New York Post” tabloid.
Biden resists reports
In recent days, the newspaper attempted in several articles to link Joe Biden to his son Hunter Biden’s earlier deals in Ukraine and China. The newspaper published emails that were supposed to prove Hunter Biden was trying to cash in on his father’s office as vice president. Barack Obama overcome. The newspaper also evaluated the emails as evidence that Joe Biden, contrary to his testimony, knew about his son’s controversial foreign business. Biden denies being guilty of anything. On Friday he called the New York Post article a “smear campaign.”
The authenticity of the email has not been confirmed. How they were made public is also questionable. They are said to have been found on a laptop in a repair shop. The “New York Post” received a copy of the hard drive from a week ago. Rudy giuliani, Trump’s longtime personal attorney and confidant. The copy was made by the owner of the repair shop before the FBI seized the laptop in December 2019, the newspaper reported.
In polls below
Hunter Biden was a member of the supervisory board of the Burisma gas company between 2014 and 2019. Trump accused Biden, among other things, of having used his position as vice president to try to protect his son from the Ukrainian judiciary. Biden rejects that. Trump wanted to get investigations in Ukraine. The conflict sparked an impeachment process against Trump, which failed in February due to a Republican majority in the Senate.
Trump is behind Biden in national polls. Due to the complicated voting system, these are not significant. The White House spokeswoman on Saturday accused polling stations of influencing public opinion with “inflated” polls. However, ratings released Friday night showed the challenger is also ahead of the game with viewers. His 90-minute appearance on ABC was viewed by 15.1 million people Thursday night, while Trump’s 60-minute appearance on NBC and affiliated cable channels MSNBC and CNBC was viewed by 13.5 million. people. The appearances took place in place of the second debate of the presidential candidates, which fell into the water because of Trump’s crown disease.
New York Times campaign
The “New York Times” writes about Trump that “he has no real rivals as the worst American president in modern history.” Commenters deepen their allegations in other articles using the example of individual topics. Trump’s term has shown that he cannot solve the country’s most pressing problems because he is the country’s most urgent problem himself. He is a “racist demagogue”, an “isolationist” and an “eternal showman”.
The “foundations of American civil society” had already collapsed before Trump announced his bid for the presidential nomination in 2015, the article said. “But he has exacerbated the worst trends in American politics: Under his leadership, the nation has become more polarized, paranoid and petty.” It could be decades before the full extent of his misconduct comes to light. “But what is already known is quite shocking.”
The “New York Times” officially endorsed Joe Biden in early October. The editorial board of the “Washington Post” had already officially endorsed Biden and vice-candidate Kamala Harris and called Trump the “worst president of the modern era.”
