Trump Appears to Endorse Supporters Chanting “Genocide Joe” at Pennsylvania Rally
Former President Donald Trump made headlines at a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend when he appeared to endorse his supporters chanting “Genocide Joe” in reference to President Joe Biden’s handling of the Middle East conflict. The term “Genocide Joe” was coined by Pro-Palestinian supporters protesting US support for Israel’s Gaza siege.
During the rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, Trump expressed his support for Israel, saying, “God bless the people of Israel. They are under attack right now.” He also criticized Biden’s administration for what he called “weakness” on the world stage, blaming them for recent drone and missile attacks on Israel by Iran.
Trump went on to repeat familiar attack lines against Biden, calling him “crooked Joe” and a “demented tyrant.” He also criticized the president for the rising gas prices and what he referred to as a “border bloodbath” with immigrants coming from various backgrounds.
The former president’s remarks come as he is set to face a hush money trial, where he is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump has stated that he plans to testify in the trial, calling it a “scam” and a “witch hunt.”
As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, with Iran launching attacks on Israel and the US and other allies coming to Israel’s aid, the political landscape remains tense and divisive. Trump’s remarks at the rally highlight the ongoing conflict between the two administrations and the deep divisions within the country.
