WILDWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Donald Trump is blaming President Joe Biden for the criminal charges he’s facing as the presumptive nominees prepare to face off in the November election and called his New York hush money case “a Biden show trial.” Blasting the Democratic president as “a total moron” and “a fool,” Trump told a crowd of tens of thousands on the Jersey Shore that the cases against him were politically motivated and timed to harm his ability to campaign. Trump spoke at a Saturday evening rally in the resort town of Wildwood, 150 miles south of the New York City courthouse where he has been forced to spend most weekdays sitting silently through his felony hush money trial.
