4 highlights from Trump's post-indictment speech
Trump calls the US a 'failing nation,' blasts Biden
As his speech concluded, Trump declared that "the USA is a mess." Attempting to deliver an indictment of his successor's tenure in office, the former president lamented that the "economy is crashing, inflation is out of control."
"Russia has joined with China. Can you believe that? Saudi Arabia has joined with Iran. China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have formed together as a menacing and destructive coalition," he added.
"It would've never happened if I were your president. It would never have happened, nor would Russia attacking Ukraine have happened. All of those lives would be saved. All of those beautiful cities would be standing."
Warning that "our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world's standard," he described such a possibility as what "will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years" and "will take us away from being a great power."
"If you took the five worst presidents in the history of the United States and added them up, they would not have done near the destruction to our country as Joe Biden and the Biden administration have done," he proclaimed. "Incredibly, we are now a failing nation."
