President Joe Biden's failed leadership has resulted in skyrocketing inflation, crippling interest rates, a humanitarian and national security crisis at our border, lawlessness in our streets, and endless wars through weakness. With just 10 months left in his presidency and no accomplishments to run on, President Biden is desperately trying to flip the script and hide from his record of failures. But the jig is up; Americans are fed up, feeling less safe in their communities, watching the value of their hard-earned wages plummet as the costs of groceries rise.
Without the luxury of campaigning from his basement, even the mainstream media is struggling to prop Joe Biden up from his dismal approval ratings. With nowhere to turn, Biden has built a re-election campaign based on gaslighting and projection. Taking no accountability for his failed policies, Biden instead projects his failures onto his opponent—Donald Trump. The desperation of the Biden team couldn't be more glaring as we hear he and his media hacks on the news accuse President Trump of being a "threat to democracy"—a hollow attack that is rich with hypocrisy when you take a closer look at President Biden's record.
It was none other than President Biden who directed his Justice Department to indict his political opponent. The New York Times made that clear when they reported that Joe Biden had told his "inner circle" that Trump "should be prosecuted" and that Attorney General Merrick Garland needs to "take decisive action." When Biden's indictments failed to slow down President Trump's political momentum, Biden-aligned Democrats colluded to remove Trump from the ballots in states across the country.
Stopping Americans from casting a vote for President Trump is the epitome of election interference and the antithesis of democracy.
Make no mistake about it, these politically motivated attacks were designed and planned by the far Left and directed by President Biden. Look no further than Biden's November 2022 declaration when he said the quiet part out loud, vowing in a press conference that he would personally make sure Donald Trump would not become the President again.
Meanwhile, President Biden's record of putting America last has made our country less safe and less prosperous.
On day one, President Biden reversed President Trump's successful border policies and upended our national security for an invasion of terrorists, Chinese nationals, and millions of illegal "gotaways" at our wide-open border who are now living right here in our heartland. I'd argue that erasing our borders for all practical purposes, allowing criminals into our country, and paying for their health care, housing, cell phones, and transportation to the tune of nearly $500 billion a year of taxpayer dollars is a threat to our democracy.
Moreover, President Biden's refusal to enforce immigration law is an illegal nullification of the laws passed by elected officials. It's a daily attack on American sovereignty and our rule of law when Biden releases thousands of illegal migrants into our streets.
But Biden's elimination of Trump's safe and secure border isn't the only crisis Biden is deflecting on. This month, our national debt reached a historic high of $34 trillion. When asked about the White House's concern for the national debt crisis, they doubled down, blaming none other than President Trump again. Unfortunately for the Biden Administration, the facts are not on his side. It is President Biden's reckless inflationary spending that has added $10 billion per day to the national debt without a single reduction. A country unable to pay its debts, forced to borrow from adversarial nations like China, is a threat to our democracy.
Along with open borders and crippling national debt, Biden threatens our democracy by ignoring our constitution, disregarding our existing laws, and undermining our highest courts to enact his radical political agenda.
And he hasn't just used the government to target President Trump. Biden attacked individual liberties by mandating vaccines on servicemembers, federal employees, and private businesses. He insults our Supreme Court justices, calling it a "MAGA-court" while angling to pack the courts for rulings in his favor.
Under President Biden's rule, even freedom of speech is in the crosshairs. His administration created a "Disinformation Governance Board," a dystopian program to give unelected government bureaucrats the authority to determine what the American people can say online in the name of "national security."
But the American people are smart; they are on to this game of deceit and projection. They are watching Biden's corruption and election interference play out in real time. Americans have watched a two-tier system of government hard at work under President Biden, and a weaponized FBI that has relentlessly tried to find a crime to derail President Trump in the 2024 election—a plan that has surely backfired.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden and his family's decades of influence peddling in exchange for cash from foreign adversarial nations has become clearer by the day, exposing the Biden Crime Family pay-to-play scheme.
President Biden wants to make this election about threats to democracy, but when his record is held to account, it is indisputable that the Biden agenda has done the most damage to America's democracy. After three years of relentless assaults on our law, institutions, and constitutional rights, President Biden is the one who threatened our democracy and left America as a shadow of her former self.
