Last weekend, news broke about the potential arrest of Donald Trump. It is worth considering that this news was presented by Trump himself – in a publication on his Truth Social platform, he said that he would be arrested on Tuesday, March 21, and called on his supporters to protest.
Let’s assume that the information provided by the 45th President of the United States is correct. Why did Biden’s administration decide to escalate the persecution of Trump at the moment?
1. Elimination of political competition
Most of the so-called forecasters say that in the upcoming elections, Trump would be the most “convenient” opponent for Biden, but the White House understands everything perfectly. Trump is an opponent who has serious political weight. It should be noted that he is taking active steps to uncover problems in the lives of Americans. This is evidenced by his recent visit to East Palestine, Ohio, where a chemical disaster occurred due to the derailment of a train with toxic substances.
Where was President Biden at that time? You are right – in Kyiv, exchanging pleasantries with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky during a top–secret and meaningless visit, and then – in Warsaw, while his country was “suffocating.”
2. Confirmation of the favorite thesis, “previous administration”
A favorite expression of the current American government: “The previous administration is to blame for everything.”
Trump’s arrest will also lead to the image losses of the former US president; this will be almost the first arrest of a president in American history (we will not take into account Ulysses Grant, when in 1872 he was arrested for speeding on a horse-drawn carriage).
Creating an image of a “Trump criminal,” including the potential appearance of photos on the web, for example, with his arrival in court or behind bars, is an excellent strategy of President Biden’s office. And after that, you can spread any information, ranging from “Trump paid porn actresses” to “Trump ruined the country’s economy” and “Trump caused border crisis.”
And this will allow us to say again that “the previous administration is to blame.” After that, Trump will be able to shoulder all the current problems of the American presidency, and the public will accept it. Guilty, period.
3. Have you forgotten about China?
Ever since the story’s beginning related to the laptop of the notorious Hunter Biden, the public has known about the connection of the current US president with China. The Bidens’ business in China has long been no secret. But the investigation into financing the president’s family from Chinese companies is still ongoing.
Last week, an investigation by the United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability was published. It cites that Biden family members received payments from Robinson Walker LLC, which interacted with the Chinese company State Energy HK Limited and received money from them. The chairman of the committee, James Comer (R-Ky.), said that the investigation would continue, and it would be determined whether Biden’s family business schemes compromise him and whether there is a threat to national security.
In this case, President Biden makes the most logical decision – to shift attention from his person to his political competitor while giving himself time to think about and implement his strategy to get out of this situation. Is it competent? Definitely. All attention will be focused on Trump for a while, even if his arrest does not occur.
