Waukesha: Donald Trump used a hiatus in his high-profile trial to make back-to-back appearances at two Midwest battlegrounds on Wednesday, but he kept his legal challenge front and center by accusing President Joe Biden of using the court’s weapons.
The former Republican president, who is about to return to the White House, has gathered supporters in Wisconsin and Michigan, among the most heated states in his runoff with Democrat Biden in November.
His speech included everything from complaints about eco-friendly lifestyle gadgets to apocalyptic warnings of a coming world war, but his speech last night in Michigan was marked by vitriol.
In a speech in Freeland, Michigan, he talked about the criminal charges against Biden, losing the 2020 election and his decision to run for re-election in November.
Trump spoke at an afternoon rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where he criticized Biden on the economy and immigration.
In both speeches, he accused Democrats of “punishing” newborns, discussed the issue of abortion rights in depth, and in both implied that Biden was behind the 88 felony charges against him.
“I have to do these two things a day,” he told the sea of red hats at the Michigan meeting.
“You know why? Because I was in New York all the time with the Biden trial – the sham trial that all the legal scholars say is a travesty,” Michigan said.
Trump claims his charges are being staged as part of a political witch hunt for three counts of election fraud and one for keeping classified documents, but offers no evidence.
Away from the Manhattan courtroom, the 77-year-old celebrity used his rare days to reprise his favorite role as a confident and seasoned campaigner accused of covering up payments to porn stars before the 2016 presidential election.
Trump is the first former president of the United States to face criminal charges, and the case seems to have angered him to no end.
Judge Juan Mercana, who had sat through two weeks of witness testimony and demanded his involvement, became frustrated and angry, and later issued an order prohibiting Trump from openly attacking witnesses, jurors or the court. worker
Before and after each day of the trial, Trump spoke to legal reporters about his legal challenges, the US economy, his wife’s birthday and the “freezing” temperature in the courtroom.
Biden’s campaign didn’t miss an opportunity to drag his opponent over his legal troubles after he reported that the Republican bowed out of the courtroom.
The nickname sparked Trump’s “Sleepy Joe” insult for Biden.
Biden has led the polls since March, and the two candidates are now neck and neck.
But Trump and his supporters hope to draw media attention to the hearings to fire up his base and spread the message that Democrats are destroying the country with reckless border security and poor economic controls.
In Waukesha, the former president accused Biden of being too passive about the pro-Palestinian student protests that have rocked campuses across the country and allowed the country to be “taken over” by migrant forces.
Although Trump has received a boost from campaign rallies, he has not held one since the impeachment trial on April 15, and the only other scheduled event was canceled due to weather.
