Without offering evidence, the leading candidate for the Republican Party nomination accused the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden of orchestrating his criminal prosecution to undermine his bid for the White House. Trump held his rally in Waco as the city marked the 30th anniversary of a raid by federal agents on the Branch Davidians religious sect there that resulted in 86 deaths, including four law enforcement officers. Many right-wing extremists see the raid as a seminal moment of government overreach, and critics saw the rally’s timing as a nod to Trump’s far-right supporters.
“I’m not a big fan,” Trump said of DeSantis. “Florida has been tremendously successful for many years, long before this guy became governor.” Trump did speak of “demonic forces” trying to demolish the country, which he said was at risk of falling into a “lawless abyss” unless he is voted back into the White House. Trump depicted the US as a failed state whose economy is in freefall — a description at odds with the country’s record-low unemployment rate.Trump also found time to nurse old grievances and return to the extreme allegations and name-calling that were a hallmark of his presidency.
