“Our Country Is Going To Hell”: Trump Responds To Biden Speech
Trump contrasted how things would have gone differently if Putin would have invaded Ukraine during his presidency. Since the U.S. was energy independent during Trump’s last 2+ years in office, the business mogul said the US would’ve been exporting oil to other nations which would have then prevented Russia from making a “fortune” from oil sales and would have acted as a deterrent for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Following President Biden’s first State Of The Union Speech on Tuesday former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” on Wednesday.
When asked about his take on Biden’s Tuesday night speech, Trump said he thought it “was terrible.”
“I thought it was terrible because he didn’t talk inflation, he didn’t have any ideas for inflation, and most importantly, he didn’t talk about energy with oil, and what’s happened,”
“We were energy independent one year ago. We were exporting energy for the first time ever in the history of our country. We were going to double the size this year. We’d be double the size of Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. We would have, number one, the event in Ukraine would have never happened if I were president. It would have never happened. There was no way it was happening,” Trump added.

WATCH:
Trump added that inflation is only getting worse due to the oil crisis.
“We have the worst situation in oil that we’ve ever had, and this is what is causing inflation,” he said. “You know, if you want to knock inflation, or at least take a big chunk out of it, what you do is lower the hell out of your oil prices, and we could do that but it’s going to take a while to start it up.”
“I mean the problem is with this gentleman, he really destroyed it, and it is going to take a while to do it. We would have been selling to everybody in Europe. We were hitting it, home run after home run after home run, and then it was just ended stupidly,” he added.
Trump also addressed the out-of-control crime, especially in “Democrat-run cities,” Trump said he didn’t believe that many people approved of the president’s job in office thus far. He boldly insisted that the United States “is going to hell” under Biden.
“First of all, I don’t believe 37% because if you believe that he has got 37%, that means that 37% of the people in this country approve of the job he is doing?” Trump emphasized. “How can you do that where the country is going to hell? Our country is going to hell. We have the highest crime in all these Democrat-run cities. The crime is through the roof — we don’t talk about that.”
Trump continued, addressing the invasion on the southern border; “The border is open, and we have criminals pouring in. They’re dumping their jails from many, many countries … from over 100 countries they say are dumping their prisoners into the United States, and they’re just walking in — totally, just nobody is even checking them, talking to them. We don’t even know where the hell they come from, and these are some really bad people, including terrorists, by the way.”
“We will be paying for that for a long time — that open border,” he continued. “And we had the strongest, tightest border in the history of our country a year ago. It is very, very terrible what’s happened. So, you tell me it’s 37%, Maria? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe 37% of the people would vote for him.”
Trump said Biden’s weakness is also emboldening China thus he expects the CPP to invade Taiwan because the Communist government sees “how stupid the United States is run.”
“They’re seeing that our leaders are incompetent. And, of course, they’re going to do this, this is their time,” Trump said.
“President Xi happens to be a man with high intelligence levels, and he looks at what happened with Afghanistan the way we pulled out,”
“He saw the way that we left Afghanistan, like a surrender, and left $85 billion and death behind, and left American citizens there that are still trying to get out. And he sees that, and this is his opportunity to do what he wants to do.” Trump added.
My question is what could Donald Trump accomplish if elected to a second term? It would require a scorched Earth approach, but I am not sure the RINO’s on Capitol Hill will be willing to go along with Trump’s plan.
