Donald Trump compared Biden’s administration favorably with the Gestapo at a private, closed-to-the-press event at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday that was promptly leaked to the press. Along the way, he called Biden a “Manchurian candidate” and characterized special prosecutor Jack Smith as a “thug” and “deranged.”
