Trump Is 'Convicted Felon' Unfit For Presidency, Says Biden

Hyde cup

United States President Joe Biden on Monday referred to his opponent and former President, Donald Trump, as a 'convicted felon' for the first time.

Torizone reported that Trump was found guilty by a New York Jury of falsifying business records to cover payments made to a porn star ahead of the 2016 presidential elections, making him the first American President to be convicted of a crime.

Biden who spoke with a small group of donors at a fundraiser in Greenwich Connecticut said, "For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency."

The US president also described Trump's attacks on the US justice system as reckless, adding that the former president and his allies' unsupported allegations that the case was rigged, were more dangerous.

"But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice," Biden said.

The US President referred to Trump's utterances about a "bloodbath in America" as rather disturbing, suggesting that it is a ploy to instigate violence.

"He says if he loses there will be a bloodbath in America. What kind of man is this?" Biden queried.

The US president also called Trump "unhinged" and unable to accept defeat.

He stressed Trump's earlier comments about terminating the U.S. Constitution and wanting to be a dictator from day one if he wins a second term.

"Throughout this campaign, Trump has made it clear he is running to exact for revenge. Now after his criminal convictions it's clear he's worried about preserving his freedoms," Biden said.

While Democrats may seem on hold on strategizing Trump's convictions toward the November presidential elections, the former US president still faces criminal charges in three other cases including a Georgia election interference case, a Florida documents case, and a federal election interference case.

He is also appealing the results of his civil trials.
