Trump Likens Biden Administration to 'Gestapo' at Private Donor Event

[Social Media]

 

Former President Donald Trump sparked controversy at a private donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, where he compared President Joe Biden's administration to the secret police force of Nazi Germany, known as the Gestapo. Trump's remarks, delivered during a closed-door luncheon, centered on his legal troubles and recent indictments of his former aides in Arizona.

 

Describing Biden's administration as a "Gestapo administration," Trump criticized the prosecutors involved in his cases and lamented the ongoing legal challenges he faces. He expressed disdain for the indictments against his associates and denounced Biden as "the worst president in the history of our country," labeling him as "grossly incompetent" and "crooked as hell."

 

Trump's disparaging remarks extended to Jack Smith, the special counsel prosecuting two federal cases against him, whom he referred to as an "evil thug" and "deranged." The former president's comments drew sharp criticism from Biden's campaign spokesperson, who condemned Trump's rhetoric as despicable and insulting.

 

The event, held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club, coincided with the Republican National Committee's spring retreat, attracting hundreds of donors. Despite his legal obligations, Trump made time to address the attendees, highlighting the challenges posed by his criminal trial in Manhattan and his commitment to his political endeavors.

 

White House Condemns Trump's Comparison of Biden Administration to Gestapo

 

The White House swiftly denounced former President Trump's recent comparison of the Biden administration to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police force, labeling his rhetoric as echoing "the appalling rhetoric of fascists" and highlighting President Biden's commitment to democratic values and the rule of law.

 

Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates emphasized President Biden's efforts to unite the American people around shared democratic principles, contrasting them with Trump's divisive remarks. Bates underscored the significant reduction in violent crime achieved under Biden's leadership, positioning it as a testament to the administration's approach.

 

Trump's comparison of the Biden administration to the Gestapo evoked strong criticism, with many pointing out the historical context of the Gestapo's role in Nazi atrocities during the Holocaust. This is not the first time Trump has faced backlash for employing language reminiscent of authoritarian regimes.

 

In previous instances, Trump has faced criticism for his rhetoric towards immigrants and political opponents, drawing parallels to the language used by dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The White House's condemnation reflects a broader concern over the use of inflammatory language and its potential consequences in public discourse.

Trump always accuses Biden of doing exactly what Trump is doing.

Nothing Trump says can be taken seriously. This man is seriously disturbed. And semi senile. He is a divider and a hater. He will say or do anything to get re-elected. God forbid. 

 

Lock him up. Best for the nation and the world.

This from the guy who has overtly stated, to the joy of his lickspittle supporters, that he shall be a dictator on Day 1, if he wins the Presidency,

You always have conversations with yourself, like here where you're responding to your own post? I guess that explains why you support Trump.

[Hanaguma]

...and how many on the left have thrown accusations of Naziism, being Hitler, etc have been thrown Trump's way? The latest being DeNiro's childish screed last week.   

 

So enough of the faux outrage please.

Trump is a dangerous man .

 

Not only for the US , but for the rest of the world , should he win the next election .

 

Biden and his team should stop making big political mistakes that will only help Trump .

 

Only a few month left now , and the DEMs are losing ground ...

Not an American, not a Trump fan, however I feel uncomfortable at the extent to which the US justice system is being  used against him.

We used to say "if the cap fits" but means the same.

 

I'd have cheered Trump if I'd been there.

 

I'd have called Biden worse than that.

Perhaps an opinion as to why you think Trump is dangerous is in order. You are just parroting the Dems propaganda otherwise.

And yet he has thrown his full support behind the modern day Hitler in Vlad “the impaler” Putin. 
Go figure.

Perhaps he meant it as a compliment, or spoken in envy.

Without it the GOP would have a completely blank slate as their political platform.

 

It is absolutely true that every accusation is a confession for these people. You actually do post things with a modicum of sense once in a while, what keeps you tied to these maroons?

As I have written many times, not a fan of either the senile geriatric OR the Bad Orange Man.  Not tied to either. But in this election, it is the rare case that BOTH candidates have records to run on. Both have had a shot at the Presidency.

 

So I look at the Trump years- 2% inflation, two dollar gas, record low unemployment for minorities, steps towards peace in the Middle East, attempts to engage with North Korea, etc.  and from a pragmatic point of view, it ain't bad. Then compare the Biden years...not so good. It is also a position held by a majority of American voters.

I don't think it's nearly as astonishing as claiming that there are more than 2 genders or that myself driving an ICE car is going to end the world as we know it.

If anything, in such an obviously barking society as we live in now, having two blatantly unsuitable candidates for "leader of the free world" is IMO eminently appropriate.

When kindy kids are apparently as intelligent as grown ups our "civilisation" can't be going to survive much longer, IMO.

I agree but it could be said that we get what we deserve, when America has been dumbed down for 20 years by reality TV, social media and podcasts, this is what we get. Two really terrible choice, and the inability or unwillingness for a serious and noble contenders to step up and try for the office. Those days are over. Only dregs from here on out.

It's amazing to me that some Americans would rely on certain things that the POTUS has no control over (e.g., economy, inflation, world events, etc.) and completely ignore the individual character of the candidates.  It seems the Republican party no longer cares about things like morality, honesty, integrity, law and order, family values, etc.  Why else would they support a corrupt lying conman with multiple indictments who would cheat on his wife after she's just given birth?  Isn't the President supposed to be the ultimate role model for our children?  We'll see in November I guess.

Not that I really GAF who becomes POTUS but I've seen this Trump comment cherry picked a few times.  I actually saw the interview when he said he would become a dictator ' for a day'. Followed by ' long enough to close the border and say drill, drill, drill'.  Each time it's just abbreviated to indicate he says he will become a dictator.

Logic not your thing then.

 

Once a Dictator for a day declares himself to be above the law or annuls the Constitution, who gets to tell him h’es not dictator on Day 2?

Are you sure you don't mean Biden?  If you can understand his rambling can you take it seriously?  He seems far more senile IMO. But no worries.  If he's re-elected it shouldn't be long before his VP has to take over and we'll have the pleasure of her cackling after every statement she makes.

As for being a divider and hater he just isn't in the league of of the Democrat administration and supporters.  They seem to be able to deny any wrong doing on their own behalf while constantly denigrating Trump and spewing hate and childish names.
