Donald Trump calls US a ’banana republic’ under Joe Biden

Former US president Donald Trump has labelled the United States a “banana republic” in an interview on Fox News. It comes after Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts in his New York trial last week. The case dealt with hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and his attempt to hide salacious information from voters. In the interview, Mr Trump also said “no one has ever gone through“ what he has gone through, and he has been “under siege“. Trump’s campaign raised $53 million from online donations in the 24 hours after he was found guilty. It said a quarter of the donors were new to the campaign.
