U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday noted that he sees greatness where Democratic White House nominee Joe Biden sees darkness in response to his rival’s speech during his party’s convention.
“Where Joe Biden sees American darkness, I see American greatness,” Trump said in a meeting with the conservative Council for National Politics in Arlington, Virginia.
In this way, the representative reacted to Biden’s Thursday speech at his party’s national convention to accept the Democratic presidential nomination, in which he presented himself as an “ally of light” in the face of the darkness he believes Trump represents.
“It is time for us, the people, to come together, because they make no mistake, together we can, and we can, overcome this time of darkness in America, we will choose hope in the face of fear, facts in the face of fiction, justice over privilege,” the Democrat promised at the close of the convention, in a 25-minute address.
Trump complained that Democrats “have spent four days attacking the U.S. as a racist and as a horrible country that must be redeemed.”
“Joe Biden declared in a grim way a time of American darkness, and yet look at what we have achieved until the plague (in reference to the pandemic) came, and look, we’re doing it again,” the president said, for whom the Democratic event was the “darkest, darkest” convention.
In this regard, the representative opined that his Administration has helped to create “the most successful period” in the country’s history.
For Trump, the best part of Biden’s speech was “what he didn’t talk about,” noting that the Democrat did not mention issues like law enforcement or China.
In this regard, he warned that if his rival wins the Chinese elections, he would own the U.S., and claimed that there are intelligence reports that “China wants very much for Biden to win.”
“We’re not going to let that happen, ” he settled.
Trump also criticized his predecessor’s speech in office, Barack Obama (2009-2017), on the third day of the convention, in which he warned that the president is willing to “take down” democracy if necessary to win, and asked his countrymen not to let a leader who “has never taken his office seriously” from “taking away” the right to vote.
“Don’t forget President Obama. They say he was a great president, well, you can’t be a great president when I take what he did we’ve undone it,” he stressed.
