Donald Trump had not returned to Washington since his departure from the White House. He returned this Tuesday, where at night he delivered a speech full of the same exaggerations and falsehoods as ever, and new ones, in a springboard for his return to the electoral campaigns, and an eventual return to the presidency. But the waters in the Republican Party they are divided.
Trump attended an event America First Policy Institutea group of experts administered by his allies, former advisers and officials of his administration.
In a more radical speech, Trump made clear his intention to return to the presidential race in 2024 and reiterated to his acolytes that a fraud removed him from the presidency.

With the argument that the country’s survival is at stake, the former president flirted with appearing again to sort out a gift, according to him, apocalyptic.
“The next Congress and President should put an end to this madness and act very quickly and with determination to defend the civil liberties of the people. The security of law-abiding Americans cannot be violated by weak mayors and cowardly governors, “Trump said between applause.
“The story is far from over and we’re getting ready an extraordinary comebackWe have no other choice, “he added.
Death penalty
Suggested the former president very strong arguments to tackle what it sees as a declining crime-ridden nation.
“If you kill a drug dealer save 500 lives. It’s terrible to say, but if you look at all the countries in this world that don’t have drug problems, it’s because they have a solid death penalty for the people who sell drugs. “
Trump further added that homeless people should be sent to fields in the suburbs Y extend the border wall on the southern border.

a divided party
In the other corner of the ring, as Trump fulfilled his role as Trump, his former Vice President Mike Pence was also addressing another audience in Washington, with the same intentions of getting on the 2024 campaign ship.
The growing rivalry between former President Trump and his once loyal vice was clearly on display in his speeches about the future of the Republican Party

Federal and state election officials on both sides and Trump’s attorney general himself have said there is no credible evidence that the 2020 election was rigged. The former president’s fraud allegations have also been completely dismissed by the courts, including Trump-appointed judges.
“Those elections were a catastrophe”, Trump told an audience of cheering supporters a mile from the White House, the place he once called home.
Hours earlier, in a speech to a conservative group of students, Pence had stated that “some people may choose to focus on the past, but IElections are about the future. ”

Both speeches highlighted divisions within the Republican Party among people loyal to Trump who refuses to accept the 2020 results and those who believe the party should focus on the future ahead of the year-end elections and beyond.
And these differences stem from Trump and Pence’s efforts to pave the way for their likely presidential bids.
Trump makes no secret of his intentions. “Maybe we have to do it again,” he said Tuesday in his speech to a group of former White House officials and former cabinet members who created. an agenda for a possible second mandate.

Pence outlined his “Agenda for Freedom” in which he set out a different view for the party in a conference close to Trump’s.
“I think conservatives need to focus on the future to get America back. We don’t have to take our eyes off the street in front of us because the very survival of our way of life is at stake,” Pence told the Young Foundation. that of America.
For Trump, the survival of the United States is also at stake, in his speech that ignited public safety.
Joe Biden replies
Joe Biden was quick to respond.
Biden refuted Trump’s claim that he was a president who put public safety first.
“I do not think that inciting a crowd that attacks a police officer is “to respect the law”. One cannot be pro-insurgency and pro-police, neither pro-democracy nor pro-American, ” tweeted the president referring to the January 6 assault on Capitol Hill, which according to a parliamentary commission was encouraged by Trump himself.
