Yes, Trump is an existential threat. But not to America, to global elites like Biden

By Brett Velicovich,

As we approach the first debate for the Democratic nomination for president, Joe Biden is going out of his way to define President Trump as a threat to our very existence.

Thanks to a conveniently “leaked” copy of his new stump speech, headlines about Biden calling Donald Trump an “existential threat to America” abounded hours before Biden even showed up at his Tuesday rally in Iowa City, Iowa.

CNN, committed as ever to the destruction of Donald Trump, rushed to predict that Biden was set to “eviscerate” the president that afternoon.

As with most uses of the word “existential” in contemporary discourse, Biden made a weak attempt to put an intellectual gloss on a distinctly simple-minded assertion. Taken literally — as Biden characteristically insisted his listeners do — the former vice president was saying that he thinks Donald Trump is a threat to the very existence of the United States.

It’s also a strange claim coming from someone who has repeatedly demonstrated that he can’t identify an actual threat to this country even if it figuratively bites him on the nose.

Donald Trump isn’t one of those threats, but China certainly is.

So is uncontrolled illegal immigration.

And have we completely forgotten about the threat of terrorism?

Under the rule of a Clinton or Bush revival, the White House would have been occupied by the kind of person Biden and his backers could work with — somebody who agreed on all the important stuff, like cheap Chinese goods and cheap illegal immigrant labor.

That’s the ideology of the globalist elite, which doesn’t concern itself with such quaint anachronisms as American greatness. To them, the well-being of Middle America — or any part of America outside their own zip code — is of little concern.

President Trump is, indeed, an existential threat to that system so long as he’s in the White House, and therein lies the real meaning of Biden’s new stump speech: vote for me and I guarantee America will kowtow to China to keep cheap goods flowing and surrender the border to keep the cheap, illegal immigrant labor coming — forever.

Oh, and he’ll also cure cancer.
