Trump attacks Biden calling him 'insane', 'suffering from dementia'
Former US president Donald Trump has called his predecessor Joe Biden "insane, or suffering from late-stage dementia" after the latter accused Trump and his diehard right-wing supporters of being a threat to the United States.
In a speech on Thursday night against Trump and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters, Biden described the group Trump represented as extremists.
On Friday, the former president responded claiming the mental health of 79-year-old Biden was in decline and he should not be in the post of the president of the United States.
Trump wrote in a disparaging post on his Truth Social account, “Someone should explain to Joe Biden, slowly but passionately, that MAGA means, as powerfully as mere words can get, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! If he doesn't want to Make America Great Again, which through words, action, and thought, he doesn't, then he certainly should not be representing the United States of America."
Trump described Biden's speech to the nation as “awkward and angry”, adding that Biden "must be insane, or suffering from late stage dementia!"
On Thursday, in a primetime address at the Independence National Historical Park in Pennsylvania, Biden said that MAGA represented “extremism that threatens the very foundation” of the US.
The Democratic president warned that the Republican Party was currently being “dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans,” who he insisted represented an “extreme ideology” that threatened the United States.
The US president also accused Trump and his supporters of disregarding the law, trying to undermine free elections and doing damage to the country in terms of personal rights and freedoms.
“MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They did not believe in the rule of law. They did not recognize the will of the people,” Biden said. “They refused to accept the results of a free election,” he added, suggesting that MAGA Republicans will once again “try to steal the elections” in the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election.
