Donald Trump. File photoMOSCOW, Jan 30The words of former US President Donald Trump about the incompetence of the current head of state Joe Biden are revenge for accusations of ties with Russia by the Democrats when he himself was president, says the head of the Center for Military-Political Studies at the Institute for the US and Canadian Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, professor at the Department of World Politics at the Higher School of Economics Vladimir Batyuk. On Sunday, Trump said that Biden's «incompetence» poses a threat of a third world war, and assured that under him the crisis around Ukraine would never have arisen. Speaking to his supporters at a rally in Texas, Trump took credit for the fact that under him America did not get involved in new and ended the old «absurd» wars, professing the Reagan principle of «peace through force».
Trump promised a corruption investigation against Biden»This is Trump's kind of revenge on Democratic leader Biden for the fact that during his presidential term Trump was accused of being almost an agent of Putin. All this was actively used on the eve of the 2020 elections. Trump did not forget this and I didn’t forgive, so the answer came to the Democrats,” Batyuk told RIA Novosti. He added that Trump is now an ordinary US citizen, does not hold any position, and although he is the informal leader of the Republican Party, many criticize him in the party itself, and it’s not a fact that Trump will remain their leader by 2024. “There is an election campaign before the midterm elections in November this year, which will launch the election campaign in 2024. Trump has plans to run for president, hence such tough statements,” the expert explained Batyuk assessed Biden's chances of being elected for a second presidential term as low. «Biden's chances are getting weaker and weaker every day. D all that remains is to see how his approval rating dropped during his first year in the White House. So far, there is no reason to expect that this trend will change,» the expert emphasized. According to him, now the Republicans are in every possible way pedaling the fact that Biden, in their opinion, is showing weakness in relation to Moscow, that he is not firm enough, not tough enough that the Democrats are weak, unable to defend the interests of the United States and allies. «Following Russia and Ukraine, in their opinion, a brutalized China will attack Taiwan, this is now such an active motive in Republican propaganda, and this topic will continue until the midterm elections this year,» the expert concluded.
