three years after the attack on the Capitol, Trump assures that he will “win” the presidential election in November

The billionaire, who dreams of being re-elected in November despite four criminal charges, was campaigning in Iowa on Saturday, a week before the start of the Republican primaries.

Faced with his supporters, he presented himself as the one who would “save America”. Three years to the day after the assault on the Capitol by his supporters, former US President Donald Trump held a series of meetings in Iowa (United States), Saturday January 6, a week before the Republican caucuses in this state and the kickoff of the presidential primaries.

The billionaire, who dreams of being re-elected in November despite four criminal charges, will face voters in Iowa in eight days, a first since his crashing departure from the presidency. On Saturday, three years after the unprecedented attack on the seat of Congress in Washington, Donald Trump affirmed, in two disjointed speeches lasting more than two hours each, that he would “win for the third time” the presidential election. Elected in 2016 then beaten by Joe Biden four years later, the Republican still considers that the victory was his “volley” in 2020.

Despite his legal setbacks and the risk of prison for his attempts to reverse the results of the presidential election in 2020, polls credit Donald Trump with 60% of the Republican vote against his main opponents for the primaries.

“I am a dictator”

Donald Trump, who overturned American democracy in a decade, judged that the world’s leading power was “in decline” SATURDAY. He called Joe Biden“incompetent”of “corrupt” and of “worse” president in the history of the United States. For the populist candidate, if the current Democratic president is re-elected, the country risks “World War III” and the “Depression”. “We are a failed nation” And “we’re going to bring her back from hell”he said in the evening at a school in Clinton.

The candidate for the Republican primaries also joked about the warnings, from Democrats and the media, about the risks of a Trump “dictatorship” in the event of a second term. “I am a dictator”, he joked to his supporters. The day before, in a speech in Pennsylvania focused on democracy in danger, Joe Biden had compared his rival’s rhetoric to that of “Nazi Germany”.
