Trump: I’m Not Undermining US Democracy

Trump – Rebuking the unraveling of America under President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump struck back at media suggesting he is attempting to “undermine American democracy,” defiantly declaring: “I’m the one that’s trying to save it.”

“They want to silence you; they want to silence your voice,” Trump told the North Carolina Republican Party Convention on Saturday night in a raucous speech.

“Remember, I am not the one trying to undermine American democracy. I’m the one that’s trying to save it. Please remember that.”

Trump called for election integrity measures, including signature verification, voter identification, and regulation on Big Tech funding like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s hundreds of millions for election drop boxes in the past presidential election.

“We all know what happened with the election, and we can never, ever let that happen again,” Trump said.

Trump said America under Biden is heading to a dictatorship, although he mocked the current president for not even being the one in charge.

“We’re not going to have a country if you don’t have election integrity, and if you don’t have strong borders, our country can be run like a dictatorship, and that’s what they’d like to do,” Trump said. “I don’t even think Biden is the dictator.

“If anybody knows who the hell is running that operation could you let us know? Because I don’t think it’s Joe. But who the hell knows? Maybe it is. Maybe it is.”

The trademark Trump speech began with a vow to bring the Republican Party forward in 2022 as its top endorser.

“It’s great to be back in Greenville, with so many proud North Carolina patriots who love our country, support our military, respect our police, honor our flag, and always put America first,” Trump began. “We don’t put America’s second. As we gather tonight, our country is being destroyed before our very own eyes. Crime is exploding. Police departments are being ripped apart and defunded.
