Trump pledges to "fire" Biden

Former President Trump celebrated his easy victory in the South Carolina GOP primary on February 24 to 25 night and projected he will beat President Biden in their likely head-to-head rematch in November.

Trump during his speech praised a variety of politicians who were with him in the days leading up to the Palmetto State GOP primary, in which he handily beat his chief Republican primary rival, Nikki Haley, the state’s former governor, The Hill reports.

Right after giving praise to his family members, Trump went after Biden for “destroying our country” and said that he would beat the current commander-in-chief in the November 5 general election.  

“We’re going to be up here on November 5, and we’re going to look at Biden, and we’re gonna look him right in the eye,” Trump said as the crown loudly cheered him on. “He’s destroying our country and we’re gonna say ‘Joe, you’re fired. Get out. Get out, Joe. You’re fired.’” 

The former president then jokingly wondered if the general election could come sooner, saying “nine months” is “a long time.” 

“I just wish we could do it quicker,” Trump said, right before South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster’s (R) remarks. “Nine months is a long time. I just wish we could do it quicker, Mr. Governor.” 

Trump said he has never seen the GOP so “unified” as it is “right now.”
