Trump's claim he stands for \"law and order\" comes on the same day that his former campaign CEO and chief strategist in the White House, Steve Bannon, was arrested and charged for defrauding donors in an online scheme.
Trump also argued that Biden \"excuses\" and \"allows crime,\" though Biden, in response to the violent protests going on around America, has taken a firm stance. \"We do need to hold those who violate the law accountable,\" he recently said.
\"We should never let what's done in a march for equal rights overcome what the reason for the march is,\" Biden said. \"And that's what these folks are doing. And they should be arrested -- found, arrested and tried.\"

Trump continued tweeting Thursday, claiming Democrats are demanding mail-in ballots because enthusiasm for \"Slow Joe Biden\" was lagging and Democrats are \"concerned very few people will turn out to vote.\"
Trump did not mention the COVID-19 pandemic's role in the desire for mail-in voting. The virus has now killed more than 170,000 Americans.
]The president then tweeted the baseless claim that Democrats are sending out 51 million ballots to people who didn't request them, or people who don't exist.The Democrats are demanding Mail-In Ballots because the enthusiasm meter for Slow Joe Biden is the lowest in recorded history, and they are concerned that very few people will turn out to vote. Instead, they will search & find people, then \"harvest\" & return Ballots. Not fair!

As the final night of the Democratic National Convention kicked off, he asked why Democrats are against voter identification, yet \"must have an ID card\" to get into the DNC. The convention this week has been entirely virtual, and has been streamed publicly to anyone who wishes to participate online.
]The Trump campaign also released a new video on social media targeting Biden's plagiarism scandal that ended his 1987 presidential campaign.The Trump campaign said Biden is now stealing ideas from far-left progressives.To get into the Democrat National Convention, you must have an ID card with a picture...Yet the Democrats refuse to do this when it come to your very important VOTE! Gee, I wonder WHY???

The Trump campaign's attack on Biden comes just days before next week's Republican convention. During the 2016 Republican convention, first lady Melania Trump faced harsh backlash after it was discovered she took words directly from Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC speech..

During the final day of the DNC, Trump called in for a talk with Fox News' Sean Hannity, where he mused about whether he will watch tonight's convention. \"I don't know [if] I'll be able to watch all of it,\" he initially said, before adding, \"I'm going to be watching. I watched a lot of hate last night and the night before. I watched tremendous hate.\"
On the show, Trump criticized Michelle Obama for taping her speech. He also called former President Barack Obama \"very divisive\" and said without him and Biden, Trump wouldn't be president today.
Earlier in the day, Trump took aim at Biden in a speech just miles away from the former vice president's birthplace.
\"Joe Biden is a puppet of the radical left movement that seeks to destroy the American way of life,\" Trump said in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. \"They don't want energy, they don't want guns, they don't want religion.\"
