BREAKING: Trump SLAMS Biden for being the most corrupt president in US history in SOTU response

"Here's the real state of the union," Trump said. "Over the past two years under Biden, millions and millions of illegal aliens from 160 different countries have stormed across our southern border."

"Drug cartels are now raking in billions of dollars from smuggling poison to kill our people and to kill our children. Savage killers, rapists and violent criminals are being released from jail to continue their crime wave, and under Biden the murder rate has reached the highest in the history of our country," Trump said.

His plan for the cartels is to order the US military to declare cartels as enemy combatants if he were to be reelected president. Trump would deploy the Navy and Special Forces to defend the security of the Western hemisphere.

"Biden and the radical Democrats have wasted trillions of dollars and caused the worst inflation in half a century. Real wages are down 21 months in a row. Gas prices have soared and are now going up much higher than even before and the typical American family is paying $2,200 in increased energy and food costs each year," he said.

"Joe Biden's weaponized Justice Department— and I'm a victim of it— is persecuting his political opponents," Trump said. In August, the FBI raided his home under orders from the Department of Justice in search of classified documents. That Mar-a-Lago raid uncovered some documents, yet in the fall, many more classified documents were disovered in Biden's garage and other locations. These documents were from his time as Vice President.

"His administration is waging war on free speech," Trump said. "They're trying to indoctrinate and mutilate our children." Biden has repeatedly told American parents to "affirm" their children in their wish to use medical technology to appear and present as the opposite sex.

"He's leading us to the brink of World War 3," Trump said, referring to Biden's increasing dalliance with Russia and supplying of Ukraine with military aid and weapons. "And on top of all of that he's the most corrupt president in American history. And it's not even close."

Repeated allegations of influence peddling and shady business dealings have dogged Biden since the 2020 election, yet Democrats refuse to engage with these allegations and in many cases refuse to even acknowledge them, despite mounting evidence.

"But the good news is we are going to reverse every single crisis calamity and disaster that Joe Biden has created," Trump promised.

"I am running for President to end the destruction of our country and to complete the unfinished business of making America great again. We will make our country better than ever before, and we will always put America first."
