SUMMARY
In a recent interview, President Biden defended his previous remarks about Donald Trump, emphasizing the importance of addressing what he sees as a threat to democracy. Biden acknowledged that calling for Trump to be "put in a bullseye" was a mistake, particularly in light of the recent assassination attempt on Trump. He clarified that his alleged intention was to focus on Trump's policies and statements, not to incite violence. Biden reiterated his commitment to his presidential campaign and attempted to reassure voters about his mental acuity and readiness for the job. He apparently condemned the attack on Trump and called for a reduction in political rhetoric's intensity in the aftermath of the incident.
