Former US President Donald Trump noted that “the United States has been so shaken up over the past two years that it has become a laughingstock.”

At a rally in Illinois, he attacked incumbent President Joe Biden and his administration, blaming them for Washington’s loss of economic and political advantage on the world stage. He explained, “This is no longer a great country, it has deteriorated. It is the country with the highest inflation in 40 years and the highest fuel prices in history. We have never had such an energy situation. energy independent or even dominant country, that was just two years ago.”

“During the Biden years, the United States lost freedom of speech and an independent press, faced a sharp increase in crime and deaths, a surge in illegal immigration, and an economic collapse,” Trump said. “Perhaps the most important thing is that over the past two years the country has ceased to be listened to and respected. In many ways, she has become a laughing stock,” he added.
