Shortly after the unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Trump posted a political campaign-styled video on Truth Social. In the three-minute video, Trump details the many ways in which the U.S. has entered a state of decline since Biden assumed office. The video also hints at Trump’s animosity towards the Democratic establishment that continues to level dishonest legal accusations against him.  

Joe Biden is only halfway through his presidency and has already accrued a laundry list of failures. Trump’s latest political ad strikes at many of these key failures, clearly showing the dismal political prospects for Joe Biden, and the Democratic party more generally, in the future:  

We are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in over 40 years…We are a nation that has the highest energy costs in its history and we are no longer energy independent or energy dominant-which we were just two years ago. We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan… We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine.

Trump’s political ad is certainly thorough. In addition to these failures, Trump accuses the Biden administration of overseeing the fall of the freedom of speech, the em-boldenedment of China, increased COVID transmission rates, economic collapse, and more.
