During a rally in Atlanta, former President Donald Trump addressed his critics who have labeled him as a 'threat to democracy.' Trump recalled the accusations that have been made against him over the past seven years, stating, 'Remember the words they used? They are a threat to democracy.' He went on to express his belief that these criticisms may have led to an attempt on his life, saying, 'I think I got shot because of that.'
Trump then asserted that he sees himself as the one who is actually working to save democracy, countering the claims made by his detractors. He defiantly stated, 'No, I'm the one that is saving democracy. Screw them.'
These remarks come as Trump continues to be a polarizing figure in American politics, with strong support from his base but facing criticism and opposition from many others. His statements at the rally reflect his ongoing efforts to defend his legacy and push back against the narrative that he poses a threat to democratic principles.
