45th President Donald Trump has revealed that he can’t run in 2024 on the slogan “Keep America Great,” because “America’s not great right now.”
Speaking to a crowd at his Mar-a-Lago home over the weekend, President Trump declared that since the Biden administration took power, Americans were now “living in a Third World country,” blaming many current crises on their leadership.
“We had a thing, Keep America Great. It was going to be a theme, we had Make America Great Again, and this was going to be a theme, because we did so well. Keep America Great, and I couldn’t use it, because I said America’s not great right now,” Trump confirmed. “We’re laughed at all over the world.”
“There’s never been destruction of a country, in my opinion, outside of horrendous war, there’s never been destruction of a country like there has been of the United States in the last two years,” the former President added. “All of these were self-inflicted… With all of the great things we did, it’s so sad to see what’s happened. ”
One of the first examples Trump led with was the arrest of Ashli Babbitt’s mother, Micki Witthoeft, Ashli Babbitt’s mother, for allegedly “jaywalking” during a peaceful protest on the anniversary of her daughter’s killing by Capitol Police.
“We have a weaponised country right now with law enforcement,” Trump argued. “[Witthoeft was arrested] because she was protesting the death of her daughter being shot by a lunatic who’s got a record of ‘not so good’, and then they try and protect him… So she loses her daughter, and on top of it, she gets arrested.”
Trump further lambasted Biden’s pull-out of Afghanistan, and his current policy towards Russia and Ukraine, alleging that Putin would “never in a million years [have] attacked Ukraine” if he was still in office.
