Biden says that 'if Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running'
https://www.aol.com/news/bi...asn-t-221753443.html
President Joe Biden said Tuesday that his re-election campaign was prompted in part by Donald Trump's decision to run for president again and an effort to block his predecessor from reclaiming the White House.
"If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running," Biden said at a campaign event in Boston, adding that he "cannot let him win."
Biden has faced criticism from within his party, including from Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who is mounting a last-minute primary challenge, that he is too old and should step aside to let a younger generation take the torch. But Biden has opted to run anyway, a move that has long been seen as driven by the former Republican president and a belief by Biden that he is the only one who can defeat Trump.
The remark came as Biden made several campaign stops in Boston, where he took a series of jabs at Trump.
At a campaign reception earlier in the day, Biden referred to the former president as "an election denier in chief," adding that "Trump and his MAGA Republicans are hellbent on destroying American democracy."
NBC News reported earlier that Biden’s re-election campaign is boosting its war room operation this week to include back-to-back rapid responses to Trump’s town hall with Fox News on Tuesday and the GOP debate Wednesday, the final one before the Iowa caucuses, as his campaign builds on its argument that the GOP presidential platform will be rooted in Trump's “MAGA agenda.”

Ol' Joe knows that when Trump is back at the helm, he and all his cronies are sunk. But he is so far gone that he doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

| quote | Trump, Attacked for Echoing Hitler, Says He Never Read ‘Mein Kampf’
The former president’s comments on migrants have been widely criticized as racist and xenophobic. |
|
| quote | Former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday doubled down on his widely condemned comment that undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” rebuffing criticism that the language echoed Adolf Hitler by insisting that he had never read the Nazi dictator’s autobiographical manifesto.
Mr. Trump did not repeat the exact phrase, which has drawn criticism since he first uttered it in an interview with a right-leaning website and then repeated it at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.
But he said on Tuesday night in a speech in Iowa that undocumented immigrants from Africa, Asia and South America were “destroying the blood of our country,” before alluding to his previous comments.
“That’s what they’re doing. They’re destroying our country,” Mr. Trump continued. “They don’t like it when I said that. And I never read ‘Mein Kampf.’ They said, ‘Oh, Hitler said that.’” |

I'm surprised he didn't want "Mein Kampf" added to the list of books he claims to have read... it's not like he is reputed to be or ever have been much of a reader.
That was about the first 25 percent of the entire text; the remainder, of course, is online. But I'm not making a "gift" of this, as I have recently with two other New York Times article. (I got that idea from theBDub.)
