While President Joe Biden and the White House prepare to focus Democrats’ 2024 State of the Union address on abortion, child manufacturing technology, and “threats to democracy,” former President Donald Trump released a “prebuttal” to “Joe Biden’s sad excuse for a State of the Union address.” It eviscerated his Democrat opponent for deliberately failing to address voters’ deep concerns about the U.S. border and economy.
Biden and Trump both just wrapped up dueling visits to the ravaged border, so they are no strangers to its insanity. Yet Trump is the one who made the invasion the center of his pre-SOTU pitch to voters.
Biden may briefly bring up the border to take credit for what the Associated Press called “tougher migration rules” or to bash Republicans for refusing to pass Democrats’ “atrocious” amnesty bill. But it’s the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who dared to mention the consequences of a record-breaking influx of illegal border crossers to voters on Thursday.
“Over the past three years, Biden has actively aided and abetted the importation of millions and millions of illegal alien migrants and resettled them into your communities. At any time during the past three years, crooked Joe Biden — and he is crooked as you can be and the most incompetent president we’ve ever had — could have called off the invasion, but to this is keeping order of a little bit, and illegal aliens pouring into the country,” Trump said.
