“We will retake the White House”: in front of voters of the American right in New Hampshire, Donald Trump promised yesterday Thursday that he would crush, “wipe out” President Joe Biden, who has just formalized his candidacy, in the 2024 elections.

“On Tuesday, Joe Biden officially declared four more disastrous years” in office, blasted his Republican predecessor to the presidency.

Mr Trump predictably denounced his successor’s account, describing a country mired in violence and crime, choking on inflation, where banks are “crashing”. In 2024, America will be asked to choose between “success or failure”. failure’, ‘security or anarchy’, ‘prosperity or destruction’, according to him.

The former occupant of the White House held his first campaign rally after the historic criminal prosecution against him by a New York court.

Undeterred, the real estate tycoon vowed to “smash Joe Biden” in front of his supporters, many of whom wore the famous red hats.

He also did an impersonation of Mr. Biden in a way that suggested the octogenarian president has dementia, which many Republicans have argued.

Mr Trump, 76, has previously been heavily critical of Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis, who is seen as his biggest challenger in the race for the Republican nomination, although he has yet to make his candidacy official.

He is headed to “crash” in the polls, he said.

Despite the prosecution against him, Donald Trump is currently considered by far the most dominant among the Republican candidates. And it is not excluded, at all, that the faction will choose him to face Joe Biden again in November 2024.

New Hampshire, where he rallied, is among the first states where the GOP caucuses will be held in early 2024. If he prevails, Mr Trump will have taken a valuable – and necessary – step forward.

While other investigations are being conducted against him, for his financial affairs, for the pressure he exerted on election officials in Georgia in 2020, or even for how he handled classified White House files, Donald Trump is throwing himself wholeheartedly into his new election campaign denouncing, what else, the “witch hunt” against him.
