Former President Donald Trump has asserted that multiple countries, including Ukraine, exert influence over Joe Biden, the sitting president, and that these nations contribute millions of dollars to his campaigns or family finances. He claimed on his social network that Biden is under the sway of China, Ukraine, and other unspecified countries, suggesting they possess extensive information about him and his past mistakes.
Trump described Biden as a president who has compromised American leadership, arguing that his policies have driven the country toward disaster. He further alleged that the Biden family has received more than 20 million dollars from foreign states and implied that such funding amounts to political leverage or blackmail against the president.
On the eve of a major development, reports indicated that a jury had accused Trump of attempting to influence the outcomes of the 2020 presidential election, marking the fourth criminal case he faces. In response to the new accusation, Trump stated that the nation is enduring a dark period in its history but pledged to persevere in the presidential race with the goal of restoring national strength and leadership.
Commentary around these events has intersected with public opinion polls. A recent Gallup survey noted that Volodymyr Zelenskyy had surpassed both Trump and Biden in popularity within the United States, adding another layer to the broader political conversation in the country.
