Former President Trump attacked President Biden for his mental acuity in a radio interview Wednesday, and said he doubts his presumptive 2024 Democratic opponent will “run” in November.
In an interview on the “Cats & Cosby Show” on WABC 770 AM with hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby, Trump repeated a popular line of attack against Biden and suggested, without evidence, that other figures in his administration were making decisions for him. . .
When Catsimatidis said he didn’t understand the reasoning behind Biden’s globalist foreign policy perspective, Trump said, “He doesn’t get it either.”
“But he’s surrounded by a bunch of Marxists, a bunch of fascists, and they want to keep their jobs and they want to destroy our country. But he has no idea, he doesn’t, if you look at him, he doesn’t know where he is,” Trump continued. “You know this, I know this, everyone knows this.”
“And I doubt he’ll run straight, I just can’t imagine,” he added.
The Hill has reached out to Trump’s campaign for further comment on his statement and to Biden’s team for a response.
The blow comes as Biden’s campaign in recent weeks has sharpened its attacks on Trump for his mental acuity and physical fitness.
Over the weekend, Biden’s campaign published a video of Trump as he appeared to freeze in the middle of a speech, which Trump categorically denied, calling it a “fake story.”
Biden’s team also captured a moment in which Trump momentarily stumbled while leaning on a podium, which was apparently not securely secured.
“A weak Trump almost falls off the stage after leaning too hard on the podium and then goes on an angry speech calling his event staff ‘terrible,’” said theBiden campaign wrotein a post, attaching a clip of the moment.
Trump responded, saying on Sunday: “As far as the podium is concerned, I actually kept it from falling due to good reflexes and strength, two elements that Joe Biden does not possess. Check out the clip! Crooked Joe is a completely incompetent and corrupt person, even when it comes to spreading a false story like this.”
In a previous postSunday night, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “JOE BIDEN IS NOT TOO OLD TO BE PRESIDENT – NOT CLOSE – BUT HE IS VERY INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT!”
