BREAKING: President Trump slams ‘Crooked’ Joe Biden for being ‘owned by China’ to packed Iowa crowd

On Saturday, former President Donald Trump took the stage at the Commit to Caucus event in Fort Dodge, Iowa as the state's "first-in-the-nation" caucuses draw near. Trump is polling in with nearly 43 percent of the state's vote, with a 27 percent lead over GOP candidates Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. 

The former president notably ripped into Joe Biden for a myriad of reasons, accusing him of being "owned by China" and having a "weak" foreign policy when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Communist Party. 

Remarking on the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit which took place in San Fransisco this week, Trump said, "This week, Crooked Joe was in San Francisco for a summit with China, looking like he had no idea where he was, what was happening, or what he was supposed to do." He added, "Every voter needs to ask themselves, who do you want sitting across that table from President Xi, President Putin, and Chairman Kim Jong Un for the next four years? Do you want Crooked Joe Biden, or do you want President Donald J. Trump?"

"Since Crooked Joe took office, it has been one Biden surrender to China after another," the former president noted. "Biden shut down the investigation into the Wuhan Lab, he canceled my program to root out Chinese spies, he weakened by China tariffs, he let China open up military bases in Cuba 90 miles off our shores, and he allowed a Chinese Spy Balloon to float across the entire United States."

"It's very simple: Crooked Joe is weak on China because Crooked Joe is owned by China. He is corrupt, and he is compromised," he continued. "The Biden Crime Family took millions of dollars from a company controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, with Joe Biden personally receiving large deposits of cash and now we have a Manchurian candidate in the Oval Office.

"But less than one year from now, we will take back the White House from his Crooked hands, because Joe Biden’s banana republic ends on November 5th, 2024." 

"This week, we also learned that Crooked Joe is planning yet another Biden Betrayal," Trump added. "It was just reported that the Biden administration has been secretly plotting to resurrect one of the all-time worst sellouts of the American worker, the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership." 

"The TPP was a globalist hit job on family farmers and American manufacturers," he declared. "Hillary Clinton, Ron DeSanctimonious, and Crooked Joe were all for it, but just as I promised, I STOPPED IT my very first week as president of the United States."

The former president said, "Now, Crooked Joe is back with TPP two, threatening to pulverize farmers and manufacturers with another massive globalist monstrosity designed to turbocharge outsourcing to Asia." He added, "Under the next Trump Administration, Biden’s plan for TPP Two will be dead on day one. It’s not getting through in any way, shape, or form."

"As president, I traveled all over the world fighting and winning on behalf of Iowa Farmers. I ended the NAFTA disaster, the worst trade deal ever made, and replaced it with the brand-new U.S.M.C.A., the best trade deal ever made," he continued, "The deal was so good for farmers that Canada and Mexico are now trying to renegotiate it." 

"I took on Communist China like no administration in history—bringing hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into our treasury when no other president had gotten even 10 cents from China. I then gave the farmers $28 billion dollars straight out of the tariffs I took in from China a large part of which came to the great state of Iowa."

 

Trump also used much of the speech to roast "the radical left Democrats and their allies in the Fake News Media." He noted they, "are having a panicked meltdown, because last night, our campaign won a gigantic court victory in Colorado, where we demolished and defeated their outrageous attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters by getting us thrown off the ballot."

"We have now beaten the Radical Left Democrats’ election-rigging ballot qualification scam in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, and New Hampshire," Trump added.

"Our opponents are showing every day that they HATE Democracy," he continued, "They’re trying every illegal move they can to try to steal this election because they know that in a free and fair fight against President Trump, Crooked Joe Biden does not have a PRAYER."

"Under Biden, we have uncontrolled inflation, an invasion of our southern border, rampant crime, war in Europe, and war in the Middle East," the former president told the crowd. "Every sane person without Trump Derangement Syndrome wants to get back to how great we had it under the Trump Administration when we had a BOOMING economy, a secure border, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH."

Trump pointed out that "No one gets abused on trade worse than American agriculture, yet no other president lifts a finger." He said, "Under my leadership, we will have a rebirth of loyalty to the American Farmer starting at noon on Inauguration Day 2025."

"To defend our farmers, I will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act. If China or any other country makes us pay a 100 or 200 percent tariff, we will make them pay a reciprocal tariff of 100 or 200 percent right back. I will revoke China's Most Favored Nation trade status, and we will impose stiff penalties on China and other trade abusers. If they try to hurt our farmers, they will pay a steep price."

"I will also once again stand up for Iowa Ethanol like no president in history," Trump said. "Just as I promised, as president I issued a historic rule declaring that E15 would be made available ALL YEAR ROUND, and letting them use the existing pumps." 

"Every Iowan needs to know that Ron DeSanctimonious is a raging opponent of Iowa Ethanol," he said of his closest primary opponent. "He spent his entire time in Congress angrily railing against the Renewable Fuel Standard. If DeSanctus had his way, the economy of your state would be destroyed." 

"Unlike DeSanctus, I will be your ethanol champion for 4 more years in the White House," Trump said. 

"Crooked Joe Biden is also waging a demented crusade to annihilate Iowa Ethanol. Biden’s insane Electric Vehicle mandate will totally decimate gas-powered cars, and if that happens, Iowa Ethanol will be dead."

"When I am back in the Oval Office, I will repeal Joe Biden’s ethanol-crushing Electric Vehicle Mandate on DAY ONE," he added. "Under a Trump administration, gasoline-powered engines will be allowed, but child sexual mutilation will not be allowed."

"Crooked Joe puts China First, Asia First, Ukraine First, illegal aliens first, environmental maniacs first, everyone else first, but he puts America last. He puts Iowa last, he puts our workers last, he puts our farmers last, he puts everything good last. I put IOWA first, and I put America first every single time."

The former president said, "This is far more than a campaign, we are all involved in a great political movement, the greatest in the history of our country."

Touting his record while in office, Trump said, "We achieved the most secure border in US history. We built 561 miles of border wall, and got Mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers free of charge." He continued, "I appointed nearly 300 federal judges and 3 great Supreme Court justices. I kept my promise, recognized Israel’s eternal capital, and opened the American Embassy in Jerusalem. I also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. I withdrew from the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. And with the historic Abraham Accords, I even made PEACE in the Middle East."

"For four straight years, I kept America safe, I kept Israel safe, I kept Ukraine safe, and I kept the world safe, and we will again as the 47th President of the United States," He added. "Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. I am the only candidate who can make this promise, I will prevent World War Three."

"On my first day back in the White House, I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration, stop the invasion on our southern border, and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history," Trump vowed. "I will immediately restore and expand the Trump Travel Ban on entry from terror-plagued countries, and I will implement strong ideological screening for all immigrants: If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country, and you are NOT getting in!"

"We will stop Joe Biden’s inflation disaster and rebuild the greatest economy in the history of the world. I will deliver tax cuts, regulation cuts, energy price cuts, and interest rate cuts like you’ve never seen before., and unlike DeSanctus, I will protect Social Security and Medicare for our great seniors," he said.

This is what we must do to restore our country to greatness. The USA is a mess, Israel is under attack, and our economy is cratering. Inflation is out of control. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have formed together as a menacing and destructive coalition." 

"Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest defeat in 200 years. It won’t happen with me, not even a chance," Trump continued, "just like Russia would have never invaded Ukraine, China would not even have thought about raiding Taiwan, and the attack on Israel would never have happened. And we would have left Afghanistan with dignity and strength instead of our greatest embarrassment in history."

The former president told the crowd, "If you want to Save America from Crooked Joe, then get every patriot you know, make sure they are registered Republicans, and get them out to vote in their local precinct caucus at 7 PM on Monday, January 15th."

"2024 is our final battle," he said. "With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country, we will rout the fake news media, we will evict Joe Biden from the White House, and we will finish the job once and for all." 

"The great silent majority is rising like never before, and under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer! With your help, your love, and your vote, we will put America first, and we will make America Great Again!" Trump concluded.
