The former commander-in-chief has warned that public services will buckle as \u201chordes\u201d of illegal aliens inundate the country<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that he is the only hope for preventing America\u2019s collapse, saying Joe Biden will finish destroying the nation if he wins a second term in the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf crooked Joe Biden and his thugs win in 2024, the worst is yet to come,\u201d Trump said on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in suburban Washington. \u201cOur country will go and sink to levels that were unimaginable.\u201d He added, \u201cThese are the stakes of this election: Our country is being destroyed, and the only thing standing between you and its obliteration is me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump is polling as, by far, the leading Republican candidate to challenge Biden in the November presidential election. He claimed that while the incumbent president\u2019s mental state prevents him from properly comprehending reality, he is surrounded by \u201csome very bad fascists\u201d who are intentionally destroying the US, partly through open borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith four more years of Biden, the hordes of illegal aliens stampeding across our borders will exceed 40 to 50 million people,\u201d Trump said. \u201cMedicare, Social Security, health care and public education will buckle and collapse. It will collapse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ex-president estimated that the US will have 18 million illegal migrants by the time Biden\u2019s term ends in January 2025, and he vowed to launch the largest deportation campaign in the nation\u2019s history if he wins back the presidency in November. \u201cThey\u2019re killing our people,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re killing our country. We have no choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump gave his speech one day after former White House senior adviser Stephen Miller told the CPAC audience that if his ex-boss takes office again, he will immediately \u201cseal the borders\u201d and start mass deportations. Biden, who halted many of Trump\u2019s border-security measures, has presided over the largest influx of illegal migrants in US history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump also blasted Biden\u2019s foreign policies, enabling the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, and accused him of using law enforcement to target political enemies. The Republican challenger faces four criminal indictments and several civil lawsuits, which he has argued are part of an effort to interfere in this year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA declining, crooked Joe Biden \u2013 he\u2019s the crookedest, most incompetent president in the history of our country \u2013 will soon have us losing World War III,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe won\u2019t only be in World War III. We\u2019ll be losing World War III, with weapons the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump, referring to himself as a \u201cproud political dissident,\u201d vowed to take his revenge by winning back the presidency and making the US more successful than ever before. \u201cFor hard-working Americans, November 5 will be our new Liberation Day,\u201d he said. \u201cBut for the liars, and cheaters, and fraudsters, and censors and imposters who have commandeered our government, it will be their Judgment Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
