Former President Donald Trump took his war of words against his election opponent, President Joe Biden, to a new level on Saturday, reportedly comparing his opponent’s administration to the “Gestapo.”
Trump made the comparison between the Biden administration and the secret police in Nazi Germany during a private donor event at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday, according to multiple reports citing audio from the event.
“These people are running a Gestapo administration,” Trump said, according to NBC News. “And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win in their opinion.”
The former president has been fiery in his criticism of the Biden administration, as he faces four separate criminal cases — two of them in federal court. The White House has maintained that it was not involved in any of the indictments, despite Trump’s accusations.
“Once I got indicted, I said, well, now the gloves have to come off,” Trump said, per the outlet, also adding that Biden is “the worst president in the history of our country.”
