Donald Trump has warned that gangs will ‘explode’ into the suburbs, ‘weaponised law enforcement’ will hunt conservatives and Hamas will ‘terrorise’ the streets unless he is elected back into the White House.
The former president also warned that Joe Biden – ‘the crookedest most incompetent president in the history of our country’ – will oversee the ‘obliteration’ of the United States in World War 3.
‘These are the stakes of this election,’ he told a ‘packed’ Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland.
‘Our country is being destroyed and the only thing standing between you and its obliteration is me. It’s true.’
After kissing the flag and namechecking some of his biggest cheerleaders, Trump said: ‘Four years ago I told you that if crooked Joe Biden got to the White House our borders would be abolished, our middle class would be decimated and our communities would be plagued by bloodshed, chaos and violent crime.
‘We were right about everything. So believe me when I offer you another warning, and we’ve been right about so much – just about everything – if crooked Joe Biden and his thugs win in 2024 the worst is yet to come.
‘Our country will sink to levels that were unimaginable.
‘Just think about it, with four more years of Biden the hordes of illegal aliens stampeding across our borders will exceed 40 to 50 million people, Medicare, social security, healthcare and public education will buckle and collapse, our economy will be starved of energy by crooked Joe’s vindictive green new scam – it’ll be the destruction of our country.’

Trump said Americans will have to endure ‘constant blackouts’ and gangs will ‘explode into the suburbs’, while ‘weaponised law enforcement hunts for conservatives and people of faith’.
He went on: ‘Hamas and Antifa will terrorise our streets while their brutal ideology takes over our schools.
‘China will dominate us, not just economically but militarily – that’s what they want and that’s where they’re heading, but they weren’t heading there with me.
‘And a declining crooked Joe Biden – he’s the crookedest most incompetent president in the history of our country – will soon have us losing World War 3.
‘We won’t even be in World War 3, we’ll be losing World War 3, with weapons the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.
‘These are the stakes of this election.’
Trump is looking to win his fourth straight primary state on Saturday over Nikki Haley in South Carolina, aiming to hand a home-state embarrassment to his last remaining major rival for the Republican nomination.
He went into the primary with a huge polling lead and the backing of the state’s top Republicans, including senator Tim Scott, a former rival in the race.
Haley, who served as UN ambassador under Trump, has spent weeks criss-crossing the state that twice elected her governor warning that the dominant front-runner, who is 77 and faces four indictments, is too old and distracted to be president again.
In all but one primary since 1980, the Republican winner in South Carolina has gone on to be the party’s nominee.
But Haley has repeatedly vowed to carry on if she loses her home state, even as Mr Trump positions himself for a likely general election rematch against US President Joe Biden.
