Did Joe Biden Say Donald Trump Was ‘Too Old and Mentally Unfit’? To look at
US President Joe Biden made a snide and joking comment about his rival, Republican Party candidate Donald Trump.
Joe Biden vs Donald Trump: The process to elect the next US president has begun and the two contenders, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, are leaving no opportunity to get on the nerves of the others.
In this turn of events, Democratic Party candidate and current US President Joe Biden made a snide and teasing remark about his rival, Republican Party candidate Donald Trump, during a weekend in Washington in which it was said that two candidates were had secured their party’s nomination for president.
“But one was too old, too mentally unfit for the job. The other is me,” Biden said.
It is said that Biden made this statement due to the continued criticism and questioning of his memory and the claim that he appears to be confused.
It was at the annual Gridiron Club and Foundation Dinner that Biden dispelled these perceived doubts by highlighting moments when the 77-year-old Trump also made a mistake.
“Don’t tell him, he thinks he’s running against Barack Obama, that’s what he said,” the 81-year-old Biden said, joking about staying up way past his bedtime.
It was the first time Biden had attended the dinner during his presidency, with the 2024 election just around the corner, in an action replay of the Biden-Trump rematch.
On a serious note, Biden said he sees a real threat to democracy if Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen, returns to the White House. The speech had echoes of Biden’s campaign remarks, which both criticized Trump for being too soft on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We are living in an unprecedented moment in democracy,” he said. “An unprecedented moment in history. Democracy and freedom are literally under attack. Putin is on the march in Europe. My pastor bows to him and tells him: ‘do whatever you want.’
“We will not bow down. They will not bow, and I will not bow,” he said.
Biden was accompanied by his daughter Ashley.
Biden closed the dinner and also spoke about the importance of a free press.
“Good journalism holds a mirror up to society,” he said. “We need you.”
The dinner took place at the Grand Hyatt and no photos or TVs were allowed.
