Donald Trump is doubling down on his claim that he was the target of an assassination attempt.

Donald Trump is now looping his baseless conspiracies into his fundraising emails.

On Monday, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee escalated his claims that President Joe Biden authorized the FBI to shoot and kill him during its 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, this time promising to punish his two-time opponent for the alleged assassination attempt.

“Biden’s day of reckoning is coming,” the Trump campaign wrote in a fundraising email distributed Monday. “He tried to publicly torture and humiliate me … but he failed. He tried to raid my home and take me out with deadly force … but he failed.”

    President Joe Biden on Friday said that Donald Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial reaffirmed “the American principle that no one is above the law.”

    That is not a factual statement though…

    Lots of Americans are above our legal system.

    I can’t believe an American thinks differently in 2024 just because Biden said it.

    That’s incredibly concerning if you legitimately believe that’s true.

    This was the exception, not the rule, literally the first time ever an expresident was found guilty of some of their crimes they committed while president.

      You put “approved” instead of “above” in your first post and the other user is trolling you about it.

      Maybe you should re-read what you wrote down as the quote in the original comment and compare it to the actual quote.

        I said:

        When Biden said “no one is above the law”…

        Headline is:

        drumroll

        Biden says Trump verdict shows no one is above the law

        Can you explain why those are so different?
