‘Destroyer Of American Greatness’: Trump Savages Biden As He Accepts GOP Nomination

Trump took aim at Biden’s assertion that the 2020 election is a “battle for the soul of our nation,” calling him “not the savior of America’s soul” but the “destroyer of America’s Jobs” and, if elected, “the destroyer of American Greatness.”

Trump also seized on allegations by several women that Biden made them uncomfortable with physical contact, quipping, “For 47 years, Joe Biden took the donations of blue-collar workers, gave them hugs and even kisses.”

Trump also claimed to have done “more in three years for the Black community than Joe Biden has done in 47 years” – a common theme of the RNC in which Black speakers, ignoring Trump’s tough-on-crime stances,  slammed Biden for 1994 crime legislation that imposed tougher federal prison sentences and funded construction of more state prisons.

“Biden’s record is a shameful roll call of the most catastrophic betrayals and blunders in our lifetime,” Trump said, citing Biden’s support of free trade deals and his foreign policy stances.

Trump also repeated a favorite claim of his that “China would own our country” if Biden won, saying he has it “upon very good information” that China “supports Joe Biden and desperately wants him to win,” a reference to a DNI threat update that also said Kremlin-connected actors are “seeking to boost President Trump’s candidacy.”

Repeating a claim often made by his campaign, Trump called Biden a “Trojan horse” for “wild-eyed Marxists like Bernie Sanders and his fellow radicals,” and labeled him “weak.”
