“Trump a target”, only now Biden admits the sensational communication error –

Marking Donald Trump as a “target” was a “mistake.” Joe Biden admitted this in an interview with NBC News, of which the network has released an excerpt. “It was a mistake to use that word,” the US president said, adding that he wanted to “focus” more on the use of words following what happened to Butler, with the former US president hit by a bullet in the ear. However, the current occupant of the White House also argued that the rhetoric coming from his rival was even more incendiary: “How can you talk regarding a real threat to democracy, when a president says the things he says? You don’t say anything because it might incite someone?”

The president had already been criticized by Republicans because, before the attack on Trump on Saturday, in a meeting with his supporters, he had said that it was necessary to put a “target” on the tycoon and make him the main object of the campaign. “I’m not the guy who said, ‘I want to be a dictator from day one,'” Biden then stressed, referring once more to Trump. “I’m not the guy who refused to accept the outcome of the election” of 2020, “I’m not the guy who said he would not accept the outcome of this election,” the American president concluded. The tone immediately flared up once more and what happened seems already forgotten, with broadsides between the two candidates.
