D. Trump compared the actions of the US presidential administration to the Nazi Gestapo

The presumptive Republican nominee in November’s presidential election made the remarks Saturday during a meeting with key party leaders and supporters. A recording of the speech was provided to US media by a person who attended the event at Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

In a 90-minute speech, Trump accused Democrats of running a “Gestapo administration,” referring to Nazi Germany’s secret police.

“It’s the only way they can win,” the former president said.

The comments come as the campaign heats up and follow several other statements by Trump that critics say are dangerously provocative.

According to news portal Politico, the comparison of Mr. Biden’s administration to the Gestapo was met with thunderous applause.

During the meeting, Trump again attacked prosecutors who have brought four separate cases against him, including one pending in New York over “hush money” against a pornographic actress.

Trump has denounced what he calls a “witch hunt” by Democrats against him.

The White House denies any involvement in the Trump cases and on Sunday condemned his comparisons.

“Instead of echoing the appalling rhetoric of fascists, dining with neo-Nazis and fostering debunked conspiracy theories that led to the deaths of brave police officers, President Biden is rallying the American people around shared democratic values ​​and the rule of law,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.

Biden’s campaign said Trump’s comments once again showed what they say is the former president’s rage, revenge and lies.
