Ex-President Donald Trump has not yet announced whether he will run again – but when he appeared in Arizona he insulted his successor.
Munich – Donald Trump* (75) has pulled his famous red cap deep into his face.
As always, it says, "Make America Great Again."
The ex-president speaks to loyal supporters in Florence, Arizona* – some have arrived days in advance, some from Florida or Texas.
There's a party atmosphere, and it's almost like it used to be when Trump was still president.
His fans also wear their political messages on their shirts and hats.
One reads: "Trump - he will return".
A flag reads: "Trump 2024 - or before".
Donald Trump does not hold back with attacks on his successor Joe Biden
It was once customary for incumbent or former presidents not to criticize their predecessors or successors. Trump is throwing that practice out of the way. The Republican * has always not been sparing in attacks on Biden, whom he still accuses of having come to power through electoral fraud - although he failed with lawsuits in dozens of courts. "In less than a year, Joe Biden* and the radical Democrats have brought our country to the brink of ruin," Trump said to his supporters last weekend.
Trump complains that there is an inflationary crisis, fuel prices have risen, store shelves are empty, crime and illegal migration have increased drastically, as have corona infections.
In addition, Biden has embarrassed the United States on the world stage, including through the "surrender" in Afghanistan.
Russia, China, Iran and North Korea also no longer have any respect for the United States.
Biden had "completely failed".
Trump, as in the past - despite his own time in the White House - presents himself as an anti-establishment man and says: "These corrupt, power-hungry madmen have to hear us loud and clear: We are fed up with our lives being run by politicians and... bureaucrats in Washington.”
71 percent of Trump supporters say Biden's victory was illegitimate
The rally is Trump's first appearance in front of a larger audience since October.
As usual, Trump says there was "the biggest" crowd today - "further than the eye can see."
Before his election in 2016, and throughout his presidency, tens of thousands of supporters regularly flocked to the rallies.
Since his election defeat, however, participation has declined.
The number of participants in Arizona is also well below previous records.
A survey by the University of Massachusetts shows how much Trump's unsubstantiated claims about electoral fraud undermined trust in democracy, especially among Republicans: 71 percent of supporters of Trump's party said that Biden's victory was probably or definitely not legitimate.
Also alarming is the result of a survey by the broadcaster CBS, according to which 62 percent of Americans expect violence on the part of the losing side in future presidential elections.
Around two out of three respondents see democracy in the USA* in danger.
Regarding Trump 's possible re-election,
New York Magazine
recently wrote: "It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the fate of American democracy may depend on the success of President Joe Biden."
Trump has so far left open whether he would like to run again in the 2024 presidential election.
According to the Quinnipiac poll, 69 percent of Republican supporters would support such a move.
Also 100 percent of his fans in Florence, Arizona.
