Trump Accuses Biden of ‘Gestapo Administration’ in Private Donor Address
Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, in a private address to donors, has accused his Democratic rival, President Joe Biden of operating a “Gestapo administration,” as reported by U.S. media outlets.
Excel Magazine International gathered that Trump made the comparison with the Nazi police in Germany’s World War Two regime during a donor retreat at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
These remarks followed Trump’s complaint about politically motivated indictments against him, including those related to a recent New York hush money trial.
The Trump campaign did not provide comment on the reported remarks.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates responded, contrasting Biden’s governance with Trump’s rhetoric and accusing the former president of echoing fascist rhetoric and associating with extremist groups.
Bates emphasized Biden’s focus on democratic values and law enforcement achievements.
Excel Magazine International reports Trump, facing legal challenges as he pursues the presidency in the upcoming election, denies wrongdoing in all cases.
His past inflammatory and racist statements, particularly regarding immigrants and political opponents, have drawn criticism.
Historians note parallels between Trump’s language and that of autocrats who dehumanize their adversaries.
The Jewish Council for Public Affairs condemned Trump’s Nazi comparison, citing his history of normalizing antisemitism and promoting a bigoted agenda.
