Former President Donald Trump has launched a new “I know you are but what am I” campaign strategy, attacking President Joe Biden as “the destroyer of American democracy.”
The move is seen as an attempt to counter accusations by Biden that Trump is a threat to democracy.
Trump’s ongoing focus on electoral fraud and claims of Democrats, including Biden, stealing elections has been a central message of his ongoing campaign. (Trending: Joe Biden Admits He’s ‘Not Sure’ About Running If Trump Wasn’t)

“Biden and his Radical Left allies like to pose as defenders of “Democracy”—but Joe Biden is not the DEFENDER of American Democracy, Joe Biden is the DESTROYER of American Democracy, and the WRECKER of the American Dream.” pic.twitter.com/3DsBKsiaJ4— Jayne Zirkle (@JayneZirkle) December 2, 2023
The strategy aims to rile up his followers and neutralize the topic as political “tit-for-tat.”
A “senior Trump adviser” told the Washington Post, “President Trump is turning the tables, We are not going to allow Joe Biden and the Democrats to gaslight the American public.”
Additionally, Trump’s repetitive messaging about Biden’s alleged unethical behavior has had an impact, with a significant portion of the public believing Biden acted unethically or illegally based solely on lies and innuendo.
TRIGGER WARNING!!! Want to watch the lefties heads explode?? Push this message: “…Joe Biden is not the defender of American democracy. Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy. … This [Trumps] campaign is a righteous crusade to liberate our republic from Biden and…

Trump’s push for Biden’s impeachment is also part of this effort to neutralize his own impeachments.
Overall, the strategy seems to project Trump’s own flaws onto his rivals and feed into the cynicism prevalent in the political culture, potentially swaying swing voters to perceive little difference between Trump and Biden.
“But I think if you had a real election and Jesus came down and God came down and said, ‘I’m going to be the scorekeeper here,’ I think we’d win there [in California], I think we’d win in Illinois, and I think we’d win in New York.
These elections are rigged.” pic.twitter.com/L0awiH1Nr1

Trump on Truth Social suggests he would use DOJ in retaliatory ways, says the charges against him opened “Pandora’s Box” and that Biden should tell prosecutors to drop them “before it’s too late for him and the rest of the country.” To Dems he adds “be careful what you wish for.”
