The Republican presidential candidate’s scathing remarks came a day after he was attacked at the International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while he was playing golf.
The former president said the suspect “believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris and acted accordingly.” He said this during an interview with Fox News.
“I got shot because of their rhetoric, while I’m supposed to be saving the country, they’re destroying the country,” Trump said.
According to FOX News Digital, the former president was referring to the statements made by Biden and Harris that Trump was a “threat to democracy.”
The Republican presidential candidate called Biden and Harris a ‘real threat’. He said, “I can also use inflammatory language like them, but I don’t.”
