In a closed-door GOP fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, former President Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on President Joe Biden, according to The New York Times. Trump's speech was described as "frustrated and often obscene," and he expressed his anger towards the current administration.

During the fundraiser, audio of which was obtained by the Times, Trump referred to Biden as "a very dishonest man, a Manchurian Candidate," and predicted dire consequences, including "World War Three, and everything else!" He also accused the Biden administration of running a "Gestapo administration," claiming it to be their only strategy for winning.

Furthermore, Trump baselessly accused the Biden administration of orchestrating the multiple indictments against him in various jurisdictions, resulting in 88 criminal charges. These charges include business fraud charges in New York, classified documents charges in Florida, a state election interference case in Georgia, and a federal election interference case in Washington, D.C.

Trump also delved into conspiracy theories surrounding his loss in the 2020 election. Without providing any evidence, he accused Democrats of cheating in elections and claimed they get "welfare to vote." Despite these claims, even his former attorney general, William Barr, dismissed Trump's allegations of widespread voter fraud as "bullshit" and acknowledged no significant fraud that could have affected the election results.

During the fundraiser, Trump also criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith, mocking him as "unattractive both inside and out." He referred to Smith using derogatory expletives and labeled him an "evil thug" and "deranged." Additionally, Trump showed support for South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, but reportedly expressed disgust over an anecdote in her book where she described shooting her family dog.

Trump took his grievances to Truth Social, where he posted a lengthy message attacking Biden. He blamed the president for anti-war protests on college campuses and falsely claimed that Biden is unable to communicate or perform basic physical tasks. Trump also made unfounded accusations of Biden receiving money from foreign countries without apparent reason.

In his speech, Trump issued a challenge to donors in attendance, offering them the opportunity to speak if they donated $1 million that night. One person accepted the challenge and voiced their support for Trump, stating that he was chosen by God.

The former president's impassioned speech and his continued attacks on Biden highlight the deep divisions within the Republican party and the ongoing controversies surrounding his legal troubles.
