President-elect Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration's handling of the transition of power during a recent speech at Mar-a-Lago. Trump accused the Biden administration of making the transition difficult and blocking reforms that the American people had voted for. He specifically pointed to legal challenges he faces, alleging that Democrats are trying to embarrass him through the courts.
Trump expressed frustration over President Biden's executive action to ban future offshore oil and gas development in parts of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. He claimed that such actions hinder his plans to ramp up offshore drilling once he returns to office.
Trump's comments come as he faces sentencing in the New York hush money trial after being found guilty on multiple felony counts. Despite his attempts to delay the sentencing, a judge denied his request.
The former president accused Biden of merely talking about a smooth transition while taking actions that contradict that claim. Trump criticized the Biden administration for its rhetoric and decisions, such as the recent executive order on offshore drilling.
These remarks follow Trump's social media post where he accused Biden of intentionally making the transition as difficult as possible. The ongoing tensions between the two administrations highlight the challenges and controversies surrounding the transfer of power in the United States.
