Biden had argued at the end of his party's "Gathering" the previous week that Trump is a menace who must be defeated, and that his own candidacy represents "Love and hope and light joined in the battle for the soul of the nation."
Trump did his best to turn that on its head. "Joe Biden may claim he is an 'ally of the light,' but when it comes to his agenda, Biden wants to keep you completely in the dark," the president said before launching into a familiar refrain.
Contrary to what the Democrat has said, Trump insisted that Biden would "Defund the police," and as a result "No one will be safe in Biden's America."
Yes, Trump is president, they argue, but Democrats have been in control of cities like Portland and Seattle - where the disorder has been greatest - for decades.
Make Biden president, Trump argued, and the violence will spread. "If the radical left takes power, they will apply their disastrous policies to every city, town, and suburb in America," he said.
"For America, nothing is impossible," Trump said.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the runner-up in the last Republican presidential primary, saw it as a chance to make a closing argument on behalf or Trump.
