Former President Donald Trump declared in a post on Truth Social on Friday that America will once again be “respected and feared (if necessary!)”
“In just three and a half years under Crooked Joe Biden, the World has experienced Misery, Destruction, and Death,” Trump began, explaining that America is “no longer respected because we have an incompetent president who is weak and doesn’t understand what the World is thinking.”
“I am the only one who can bring Peace, Prosperity, and Stability like I did during my first term,” Trump continued.
America will be respected and feared (if necessary!) again,” he concluded.
Trump’s comments come amid growing certainty — and clarity — that he will emerge as the official Republican candidate for president, paving the way for a rematch in 2020 against Biden, who is 81 years old.
Numerous polls, both nationwide and at the state level, indicate that Trump would enter this probable showdown with an advantage, outperforming Biden in key swing states.
For instance, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll unveiled on January 31 revealed that Trump is ahead of Biden in direct matchups in states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Moreover, Trump maintains his lead over Biden even when third-party contenders, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are factored in, as reported by Breitbart News.
- Arizona: Trump 43 / Biden 35 / Kennedy 10 — Trump +8
- Georgia: Trump 44 / Biden 37 / Kennedy 8 — Trump +7
- Michigan: Trump 43 / Biden 37 / Kennedy 8 — Trump +6
- Nevada: Trump 43 / Biden 31 / Kennedy 12 — Trump +12
- North Carolina: Trump 45 / Biden 32 / Kennedy 9 — Trump +13
- Pennsylvania: Trump 43 / Biden 40 / Kennedy 7 — Trump +3
- Wisconsin: Trump 43 / Biden 35 / Kennedy 10 — Trump +8
According to a recent Rasmussen Report poll released on Monday, Trump holds the title of America’s most respected leader, with Biden lagging behind by 21 points.
However, Trump has raised skepticism about the possibility of facing Biden again this year. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in December, Trump referred to Biden as “a cheater,” “scoundrel,” and “bad guy.”
“But in his life, he’s always been able to convince people he’s this really nice guy. I laugh when they say, ‘Trump is the evil one, and he’s the nice one.’ That’s the one thing he’s been able to do. All you have to do is look at his credentials. When you compare him today to 15 or 20 years ago, he’s a different kind of guy. The guy can’t talk. The guy can’t put two sentences together,” Trump said.
“So I do think this: I cannot believe he’s going to be the nominee. I hope he is. But I can’t believe he’s going to be the nominee,” the former president concluded.
