In a candid interview with Univision's Enrique Acevedo, President Joe Biden did not mince words when asked about the 'primary threat to freedom and democracy' in the United States, naming his predecessor, Donald Trump, as the central figure of concern.

The interview also touched on international relations, particularly with Mexico, indicating Biden's efforts to navigate complex diplomatic waters in contrast to Trump's approach.

What impact do you think such strong political statements have on public trust and political polarization?
@9LGLFBJ1mo1MO
I think public trust of both parties is severely diminished with smear campaign tactics and makes our government seem untrustworthy and childish.

@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
How do you feel about a sitting president openly labeling a former president as a threat to democracy?
@9LGLQ6K1mo1MO
I feel that all presidents have done good and bad in their presidency and no one president should be shunned for what they have done unless it sides with terrorism
@9LGKS4H1mo1MO
i think biden is doing what he can to get more votes
@9LGM8TB1mo1MO
I lose respect for anyone who uses the smear tactic, it lacks decorum and maturity. Even tho I’m not a fan of trump, it makes Biden seem childish
Thats not really great, even if it is true I wouldnt like the president doing so.

In summer 2020, Ismail El-Hassan spent every day in the sweltering sun, door-knocking for Joe Biden. But, April 2, he ... didn't win any races but beat out other candidates in the Democratic primary.

@HareSamAuthoritarian1mo1MO
Biden's accusation against Trump is just another example of how the left manipulates narratives to vilify strong leadership and undermine real progress.
@GorillaSamLibertarian1mo1MO
It's just another day in the circus of U.S. politics, where leaders seem more focused on pointing fingers than on preserving our individual liberties.
Finally, someone's calling it like it is; Trump's influence is a real danger to our democracy, and I'm glad Biden's not afraid to say it out loud.
@9LG8DLH1mo1MO
There is probably bias in both side of the argument so read both sides and make a good judgement call
Not really much since I just let things be
@9LG7RV61mo1MO
I think Trump has the overhand of Biden.
