Former President Donald Trump criticized President Biden and the Democratic Party during a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday night. Trump accused Biden of allowing 'anarchists, jihadist freaks, and anti-American extremists' to take over college campuses, blaming him for the chaos and violence. He claimed that Biden is surrounded by 'fascists' in the White House and accused him of not standing up to enemies abroad or extremists within his party.
Trump also alleged that the same individuals funding campus uprisings are supporting Biden's campaign and called on Biden and the Democratic National Committee to return donations from 'anti-Semites, American haters, and financiers of chaos.' He promised that if elected president, he would not allow colleges to be taken over by violent radicals and would deport anyone trying to bring extremism to campuses.
The rally, attended by tens of thousands, was described as the largest political gathering in New Jersey's history. Trump was endorsed by high-level supporters, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who is considered a potential vice presidential running mate.
The event took place as Trump faces multiple felony charges in separate criminal cases, with the election approaching in less than six months. The crowd size was estimated between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees by a city spokesperson, making it a significant show of force for Trump's campaign.
