Trump compares investigations into him to Stalinist Russia

Former US President Donald Trump attends a rally held to speak to his supporters after announcing his candidacy for president in the 2024 election at an event in Waco, Texas, US, on March 25, 2023.WACO, Texas - Donald Trump used his first election rally in Waco, Texas, to cast the 2024 presidential vote in apocalyptic terms, slam his leading Republican rival Ron DeSantis and rail against prosecutors pursuing him with criminal investigations he likened to a "Stalinist Russia horror show.

"The Biden regime's weaponisation of law enforcement against their political opponents is something straight out of the Stalinist Russia horror show," Trump said. "From the beginning it's been one witch hunt and phony investigation after another." A Trump campaign spokesperson said Waco was chosen for what the former president billed as his first major rally of the 2024 presidential race because it is situated between several major population centers and has the infrastructure to host a large event.

The former president is seeking to turn the hush money case in New York to his advantage by raising money off it and using it to rally supporters. On Friday, he said the country faced potential "death & destruction" if he was charged with a crime."Trump is walking on a high wire without a net, telegraphing that he has nothing to lose and is willing to risk dangerous outcomes to rally support," said Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist in Washington.
