Trump calls Biden the 'destroyer' of democracy despite his own efforts to overturn 2020 election
President Donald Trump on Saturday attempted to turn the tables on his likely rival in November, President Joe Biden, arguing that the man whose election victory Trump tried to overturn is “the destroyer of American democracy." Trump's allegations about Biden, a Democrat, echo the ones that Biden has been making for years against his predecessor. As Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary and talked about targeting his rivals and the news media if he wins the White House again, Biden has stepped up his own warnings, contending Trump is “ determined to destroy American democracy." On Saturday, Trump made his most explicit argument to date on why voters should instead see his rival as the bigger democratic threat.
