Former President Donald Trump has released a video condemning President Joe Biden's America following an FBI raid on his home.
On Monday, Trump confirmed that FBI agents had searched his Mar-A-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
He released a statement condemning the act and said "nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before."
He added: "After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate."
He went on to call the raid "prosecutorial misconduct" and a "weaponization of the Justice System."
Trump said the raid was hatched by "Radical Left Democrats" seeking to prevent him from running for president in 2024 and likened his treatment to corruption in "broken, Third-World Countries."
On Tuesday morning Trump also released a video on his social media platform, Truth Social, which included snippets from his speech during a rally in Arizona in July.
The video has dramatic music playing throughout as Trump speaks, with images to match the words being said.
It focuses on issues such as the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, inflation, lack of energy independence, gas prices and Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Trump also mentions what he calls the "fake news" press, levels of crime, COVID-19, Iran and China.
After listing a series of problems and issues in America, Trump closes with an optimistic message.
"We are a nation, that in many ways, has become a joke, but soon we will have greatness again," Trump said.
"It was hard-working patriots like you that built this country and it is hard-working patriots who are going to save our country.
"There is no mountain we cannot climb, there is no summit that we cannot reach, there is no challenge that we cannot beat, there is no victory we cannot have.
"We will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield, ever. We will never give in, we will never give up and we will never, ever, back down.
"We will never let you down, as long as we are confident and united. The tyrants we are fighting do not stand even a little bit of a chance.
"Because we are Americans and Americans kneel to God and God alone and it is time to start talking about greatness for our country again."
