Former President Donald Trump this week produced a recorded video message warning Americans that the deep state is trying to stop them from voting for "the only candidate who will restore power to the American people."
Trump, the current frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, recorded a video message and posted it on his official website Tuesday, the same day he announced on his Truth Social platform that he received a letter from "deranged" special counsel Jack Smith stating that he is "a target of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation."
The former president said he expects he will be charged over the reported events of Jan. 6, 2021, in which rioters breached the U.S. Capitol in a bid to prevent certification of President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
On his website, Trump expressed that his supporters "are my motivation to keep fighting all of the false attacks aimed at destroying our movement.
"You are the source of my courage, my hope, and my resolution," he wrote. "You are the reason I will never give up our mission to save America."
Trump also cited that his supporters are why he "decided it would be right to deliver my FIRST recorded message to YOU — NOT the Fake News."
In his recorded message Trump says, "The left is once again trying to destroy me because, by destroying me, they destroy you. They destroy the whole country, which is really what they want."
Trump also stated that although he's the subject of "a big and vicious witch hunt," "the real victim isn't me. The real victim is you. The deep state is trying to stop you from voting for the only candidate who will restore power to the American people, and they understand that."
"But mark my words, on Nov. 5th, 2024, the American people will take back our country, and we will Make America Great Again," he continued. "These fascists and Marxists and Communists will be defeated. We have no choice, or we will not have a country left. Thank you very much."
