President Trump is attempting to spin criticism against Joe Biden as an attack on democracy and freedom because Biden is advocating for democratic values while in office. Trump has used his platform to criticize Biden’s foreign policy, saying he is pushing for “authoritarianism,” “global government controls,” and “draconian restrictions.”
Trump’s accusations of authoritarianism are not factual and are simply used to paint Biden as a dangerous leader for the United States. Trump’s rhetoric does not stem from Biden’s actual foreign policy decisions or initiatives but rather from his own hyper-partisan worldview.
Biden’s foreign policy is the exact opposite of Trump’s: supporting democracy, defending human rights, and working with allies to build a more secure and prosperous world. Biden is focused on ensuring that the United States continues to be a beacon of freedom and liberty, and his rhetoric and policies have been proven and consistent in doing so.
Trump’s criticism of Biden’s foreign policy is an effort to undermine his reputation and distract from his own failure to implement a proper foreign policy. It is unsurprising that Trump is seeking to deflect criticism away from his own actions by playing upon the public’s fear of authoritarianism, but it is ultimately baseless and deceiving.
