Donald Trump: America Will Be ‘Respected and Feared (if Necessary!)’ Under My Leadership

America will be “respected and feared (if necessary!)” again, former President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post Friday.

“In just three and a half years under Crooked Joe Biden, the World has experienced Misery, Destruction, and Death,” Trump began, explaining that America is “no longer respected because we have an incompetent president who is weak and doesn’t understand what the World is thinking.”

“I am the only one who can bring Peace, Prosperity, and Stability like I did during my first term,” Trump continued. “America will be respected and feared (if necessary!) again”:

Trump’s remarks come as it becomes increasingly likely — and obvious — that he will stand as the official Republican nominee for president, setting up a 2020 rematch between himself, 77, and Biden, 81. Several surveys — both national and on the state level — have shown Trump going into that likely matchup with an advantage, besting Biden in key swing states.
