“Convicted felon”. This is what has been referred to in the last few hours Joe Biden to Donald Trumpfor the first time since the jury declared the former president guilty of all the charges he faced in the Stormy Daniels case.

Its about most frontal attack by the current president of the United States against his predecessor as a result of his legal problems, a matter on which until now he had remained quite cautious.

However, during a campaign event this Monday, the Democratic president directly attacked his opponent in the presidential elections at the end of the year, warning that now Trump “is worse” than in his first term for his desire for “revenge” after his 2020 electoral defeat.

“For the first time in American history, a former president who He is a convicted felon. now he seeks to become President,” Biden warned a small group of donors at a fundraising event in Greenwich, Connecticut.

There, he warned that, despite the “disturbing” of this, “it is more harmful total attack that Trump is carrying out against the Justice system American”, ensuring that it is “reckless and dangerous” to claim that the judicial system is rigged, as Trump maintains.

It is the first time that Biden has spoken so directly about the guilty verdict against Trump, an issue on which until now he has remained largely on the sidelines to avoid giving the impression of politicizing the process. In fact, after knowing the verdict his first reaction came through his campaign team, who stated that “no one is above the law”.

Furthermore, the Democratic president has now stressed that “the threat posed by Trump would be greater in a second term than in the first.” “This is not the same Trump who was elected in 2016. It is worse. Something broke in him when he lost in 2020. He can’t accept that he has lost and it is literally driving him crazy.“, has manifested.

In that sense, he has named some statements made by the former president during the campaign, in which he has made reference to “be a dictator on the first day” to close the border or promised to “end the Constitution” and grant pardons to the “patriots” – in reference to those who participated in the assault on the Capitol-, even talking about a possible “bloodbath” if he lost the elections again.

“Throughout this campaign, Trump has made it clear that he is running for revenge. Now, after his criminal convictions, it is clear that he is concerned about preserving his freedoms,” Biden added. These statements came on the same day that the trial against his son Hunter for possession of weapons.
