Trump: Biden Leading Toward World War
Amid the alarming escalation of international tensions and war in Israel, President Donald Trump delivered a potent message to supporters at a campaign rally Saturday evening, cautioning that under Joe Biden’s leadership, the world teeters closer to World War III than ever before.
Israel now faces a tumultuous battle, reeling from surprise Hamas attacks on civilian targets Saturday. At the same time, Russia continues its assault on Ukraine. Trump emphasized that such turmoil underscores the stark contrast between his administration’s strength on the world stage and Biden’s perceived ineffectiveness.
“We are closer to World War III than we’ve ever been,” Trump declared in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a message that echoed throughout Newsmax’s comprehensive coverage of the event. He emphasized the unique danger of this potential global conflict, noting, “That won’t be a war with army tanks. That will be a war with weaponry the likes of which this world has never seen before.”
The root of the Israel conflict, Trump posits, traces back to Biden’s financial decisions. After the Biden administration reportedly gifted Iran $6 billion, Trump warned of impending war in Israel, suggesting this funding would likely bolster anti-Israel groups in the Middle East.
Trump wasn’t just critical of Biden’s moves concerning Israel. He lamented the President’s overall approach to foreign relations, saying the world is “laughing” at the U.S. under Biden’s leadership. “Crooked Joe put China first, Mexico first. But he puts America last,” Trump stated, further condemning Biden’s handling of Russia’s war in Ukraine, implying it resulted from Biden’s “stupidity” and “gross incompetence.”
Despite the heavy critique, Trump’s rally was not without moments of genuine connection with the audience. In an organic exchange, a supporter proclaimed the world’s need for God. Trump quickly replied, “You’ll need God, true,” appreciating the sentiment as a beautiful assertion.
Remembering his time in office, Trump reminisced about the Abraham Accords — a peace proposal between Israel and Palestine mediated by the U.S. — suggesting its success sharply contrasted with the current tumult in Israel. “Everybody said, ‘When will you get the Nobel Peace Prize?’” he stated. “And today, we have the exact opposite, a major attack on Israel. What a difference a president makes, right?”
The underlying message was clear: Trump believes that the crisis unfolding in Israel and Ukraine would not have occurred under his watch. By highlighting his past conversations and dealings with world leaders, Trump suggests that respect and understanding from nations like Russia and China were earned, not given.
Closing his message to Iowans, Trump confidently stated his position as the best candidate to prevent a third world war. “You will never have World War III,” he vowed if elected.
With the Iowa caucuses looming and international tensions rising, the 2024 race becomes not only a domestic decision but one with global ramifications. Trump’s rally in Cedar Rapids is a stark reminder of the stakes and a call to return to his brand of leadership.
