Trump Warns: Under Biden, America Nearly Fell
Throughout his 2024 campaign and now into his historic second term, President Trump has repeatedly described the catastrophic impact of Biden-era policies. From the southern border crisis, to crippling inflation, to a humiliating foreign policy, Trump says the damage was almost beyond repair.
“When people see the horror show that we had for four years,” Trump said, “it was almost like they tried to kill our country.”
But with his America First agenda back in action, Trump believes the nation is experiencing a dramatic turnaround:
“Now we have the hottest country in the world.”
A New Team, A Stronger Trump: “We’re Operating on a Whole New Level”
While President Trump often speaks proudly about the success of his first term, he says the current one may prove even more powerful.
“We’re doing things that are even on a different level.”
Trump credits this new momentum to a united, loyal, and highly effective team behind him.
“They love each other, they love the country, and it’s smoother.”
For conservative voters fed up with deep-state politics and failed leadership, Trump’s confidence in his current administration is energizing.
One Year After Assassination Attempt, Trump Reflects on Survival and Security
The interview comes just ahead of the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a gunman came within a quarter-inch of taking the President’s life.
“It was unforgettable,” Trump said. “I got whacked… They shot eight bullets. People were screaming. I got down quickly, fortunately.”
The shocking event marked the closest a U.S. President has come to assassination since 1981. Despite the terrifying experience, Trump remains steady in his resolve.
Trump Holds Law Enforcement Accountable — But Stands With the Good Guys
While Trump expressed faith in the agents assigned to protect him, he didn’t sugarcoat what went wrong.
“They should have had somebody in the building. That was a mistake.”
He emphasized the need for stronger communication between federal and local law enforcement, something he says is essential to keeping future presidents — and the American people — safe.
“I have great confidence in these people… But they had a rough day. And I think they’ll admit that.”
“The Man Who Saved America”: Trump’s Legacy Is Taking Shape
With the nation watching and the stakes higher than ever, President Trump is crystal clear on how he wants to be remembered:
“The man who saved our country.”
For the millions of Americans who believe the country was hijacked by globalists, radicals, and bureaucrats under Biden, those words are more than just a legacy—they’re a promise fulfilled.
