During a rally in Durham, New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump declared that “the American dream is dead” while campaigning to retake the White House.

When it comes to who killed the American dream, Trump is placing the blame on his successor.

“Joe Biden and the Democrat Party are incapable of solving any problem. They haven’t solved anything, they’ve only created problems,” Trump said. “As long as Joe Biden is in the White House, the American Dream is dead.”

However, Trump says that it won’t be dead forever as things will change the second “crooked Joe Biden” is out of office next November.

Trump told his supporters that he sees a “historic victory by Christmas of next year.”

Currently, Trump is leading Biden in polls, questioning the hypothetical rematch between the two. Last month, a New York Times poll found the former president was ahead in almost every battleground state needed to win the White House.

Trump has fed off this momentum, which he continues to gain despite his ongoing courtroom antics and trouble.

During his speech in New Hampshire, Trump said he would bring the economy back, energy prices would plummet, and the “hoards” of migrants crossing the border “will have ended.”

Still, Trump has to secure the GOP nomination, though recent polling from Decision Desk HQ shows he leads his next closest opponent by 45.9%.

The first primary will take place in New Hampshire on Jan. 23, 2024.
