“All this happened so quickly, it’s breathtaking,” he added, in a speech of almost half an hour dotted with point of humor. But also a few moments of floating, when Joe Biden, for example, stammered on certain sentences or struggled to arrive after anecdotes, concluded before the end with a “brief”.
On his Truth Social network, Donald Trump, often quick to make fun of his former opponent to the presidential election, republished the extract from one of these unfinished tirades, without adding a comment to the writing.
Mr. Biden, 82, accused the Trump administration of attacking Social Security, a federal agency in particular responsible for distributing public pensions or disability pensions to 68 million beneficiaries.
“They attack social security with ax, dismissing 7,000 civil servants, including the most experienced. They are about to push thousands of others to the door,” denounced the former head of state.
“Why do they want to rob her? It is to offer huge tax cuts to the billionaires,” hammered the former Democratic president, accused of having been slow to give way last year to his vice-president Kamala Harris in the race for the White House, thus giving an advantage to his republican opponent.
In his first interview on Fox News, Trump threatens Joe Biden: “Difficult to say that he shouldn’t happen to them the same thing …”
“Social security deserves to be protected for the good of the whole nation,” he said. “These are not only a question of retirement pensions. It is a question of honoring a bond of fundamental confidence between the State and the people”.
In February, the Trump administration temporarily appointed an “anti-fraud expert” at the head of social security.
Elon Musk, charged by Donald Trump with a federal state weight loss, says that many frauds undermine the functioning of social security, including several million beneficiaries aged over a hundred years, without advancing detailed and public data.
