The president has reversed his condemnation of Trump supporters, one day after he had called them an “extremist threat” to America.
US President Joe Biden has apparently made a 180-degree turn on the alleged dangers posed by Donald Trump supporters, saying he doesn’t consider his predecessor’s backers to be a threat to America.

He claimed that “MAGA forces” – referring to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan – are an existential threat to American democracy.

Biden is apparently trying to stoke fear of pro-Trump Republicans as this November’s midterm congressional elections approach. This strategy is possible to be dangerous, considering past criticisms of large voting blocs.
