Rais wa Marekani, Joe Biden, amezidisha mashambulizi yake dhidi ya rais wa zamani Donald Trump, Alhamisi, katika hotuba kali ambayo amewahi kutoa hadi sasa, kwamba rais huyo wa zamani na mgombea anaeongoza katika chama cha Republikan, ni kitishio kwa desturi na taasisi za kidemokrasia za nchi.

Katika hotuba yake aliyoitoa katika jimbo la magharibi la Arizona, rais Biden, amemshutumu Trump kwa kuwa na dhana za hatari kwa kuona kuwa na nguvu isiyosimamiwa na yupo juu ya sheria.

Amemnukuu rais mstafu Trump kuwa anasema katiba inampa haki ya kufanya chochote anachotaka kama rais.

Rais Biden amesema hajawahi kusikia rais akiwa anasema hivyo. Mwaka 2019, Trump alisema kwamba ana haki hiyo chini ya ibara ya pili ya katiba ambayo inazungumzia madaraka ya rais.

Mwezi Machi aliwaeleza wafuasi wake kwamba yeye ni haki yao, na wote ambao wamekuwa wakifanyiwa mabaya yeye ndiye mtetezi wao.

Vowing to Defend Democracy, Biden Hits Hard at Trump

U.S. President Joe Biden sharpened his attacks against Donald Trump on Thursday, delivering his most forceful assertion to date that the former president and Republican front-runner represents an existential threat to the country’s democratic values and institutions.

In a speech in the western state of Arizona, Biden charged that Trump holds the "dangerous notion" that he has unchecked power and is above the law.

"Trump says the Constitution gave him, quote, the right to do whatever he wants as president, end of quote. I've never heard a president say that even in jest," Biden said. "Not guided by the Constitution or by common service and decency toward our fellow Americans, but by vengeance and vindictiveness."

Trump in 2019 said he has such rights under Article II of the Constitution, which describes the powers of the president. In March, he told supporters, "I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution."

"There’s something dangerous happening in America right now," Biden declared in Arizona, adding that American democracy is "still at risk."

The speech is his fourth in a series of presidential addresses that lays out what he sees as the dangers of election denialism and political violence that have loomed over the country since thousands of Trump supporters attacked Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021, seeking to overturn Biden’s electoral victory.

"There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs in our democracy — the MAGA movement," the president said, referring to his predecessor’s slogan, "Make America Great Again." He warned that their "extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American democracy."

"They're not hiding their attacks," Biden said. "They’re openly promoting them, attacking the free press as the enemy of the people. Attacking the rule of law as an impediment. Fomenting voter suppression and election subversion."

While stating that democracies die when people "remain silent" and "don’t stand up", Biden urged the voters to prioritise the health of American institutions.

During his speech in Arizona, the US President said, “There’s something dangerous happening in America now…There’s an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy: The MAGA movement."

“We should all remember: Democracies don’t have to die at the end of a rifle. They can die when people are silent, when they fail to stand up," he added.

“There’s no question that today’s Republican Party is driven and intimidated by MAGA Republican extremists," Biden said, using the acronym for Trump’s political movement, adding, “Their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American democracy as we know it," he was quoted by CNN as reported by ANI.

MAGA which is "Make America Great Again" is a political slogan popularized by Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign.
