Donald Trump warns if he loses re-election then the 'whole country will be Minneapolis' as he paints dire picture of America under a President Joe Biden
President Trump painted a dire picture of an America under President Joe Biden as he sat down with his son Donald Trump Jr. for a Father's Day-themed interview.
'The whole country will be Minneapolis,' Trump warned. 'I feel like if the Democrats get in, we are literally going to end up in a recession/depression the likes of which you've never seen,' the president also said.
Minneapolis was the site of the death of George Floyd, a black man, who was killed by a white police officer on Memorial Day, setting off weeks of 'Black Lives Matter' protests around the country and several nights of looting and rioting in the Minnesota city.
Since then Trump hsa tried to market himself as the 'LAW & ORDER' president, crediting the National Guard for defusing the situation in Minneapolis.
'When the National Guard went in, it was so beautiful,' he said in the interview, which was released Thursday night.
Trump lambasted cities under Democratic leadership and suggested without his Republican leadership at the top, the country would be a mess.
'It's a very sad thing,' he said. 'But I happen to think it's explaining to people that are getting ready to vote on November 3, that there's only one answer, and you can't go back to the bedlam,' Trump said.
'The country, I don't think would ever recover from it,' Trump warned.
He pointed to the current situation in Seattle, in which demonstrators have taken over several blocks of the city and turned them into a police-free zone.
He also continued to make an example out of Minneapolis.
'You look at Seattle, when you go to Minnesota, and you take a look at what's taken place there, it's incredible. They tried to take over a great city,' he said.
Trump broadly critized Democrats at the helm of city governments.
'The cities that are having trouble are Democratic run cities, meaning Democrats ... The Democrat-run cities are the ones that are having the trouble,' he said, making sure to say Democrat, not Democratic, which is a Republican jab. 'It's a very simple thing.'
But then had a number of choice words for Biden.
Trump suggested Biden was declining, saying he's 'certainly not in the condition' to lead the country.
'He's China's dream,' Trump added.
Over the course of the interview, Trump also debuted a new over-the-top campaign ad that suggested Biden had received the posthumous endorsement of Osama bin Laden, because papers found in the terrorist leader's compound revealed a plot to kill President Barack Obama, leaving Biden, Obama's vice president, in charge.
Bin Laden calculated that Biden was 'totally unprepared' for the presidency and the U.S. would be plunged into 'crisis.'
The plot was first reported by The Washington Post in 2012.
Trump, however, had no knowledge of the report until Donald Trump Jr. brought it up.
'It says to me I didn't know that - and it says to me we're going to immediately make a commercial out of that if that's true. Is that true?' the president asked his son.
Donald Trump Jr. then rolled the ad, calling it a Father's Day present.
'That was a good present,' Trump said.
