A recent post on Truth Social, Donald Trump, the front-runner in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, accused President Joe Biden of being an insurrectionist. This comes after Trump was barred from the White House race in Colorado due to a ruling by the state’s Supreme Court.
The court found that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment during the January 6 riot, leading to his removal from the primary ballot. The decision, prompted by a lawsuit from six Colorado voters, argued that Trump’s actions constituted insurrection, raising questions about his eligibility for public office.
The 14th Amendment’s emphasis on loyalty to the Constitution is crucial in understanding the implications of the ruling, as it underscores the consequences of engaging in insurrection or rebellion, potentially resulting in a ban from running for office.

Trump, with plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, took to social media, claiming Biden is the real insurrectionist. He listed various grievances, including accusations related to border security, international conflicts, and policy decisions, blaming Biden for what he sees as the destruction of America.
Despite the legal setbacks, Trump remains defiant, intending to challenge the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision with the support of a conservative majority in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump’s ongoing legal battles, which include multiple criminal charges, are dismissed by him as politically motivated attacks aimed at undermining his chances in the 2024 election.
In response, Biden asserted that Trump unequivocally supported the January 6 insurrection, fueled by baseless claims of election fraud. Meanwhile, some Republicans consider retaliatory measures, including attempts to remove Biden from ballots in other states.
Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway criticized the focus on January 6, characterizing the court decision as a threat to democracy and part of a broader political agenda.
