Trump says Biden won't 'make it' to 2024 election: 'He's in bad shape physically'

by · Washington Examiner

Former President Donald Trump lambasted President Joe Biden's physical and cognitive abilities during a Fox News town hall Tuesday night with moderator Sean Hannity in Davenport, Iowa.

"I personally don't think he makes it, OK," Trump said when Hannity asked if Biden would remain the Democratic nominee in 2024. "I think he's in bad shape physically."

Then the former president joked he could blow Biden over to the delight of the audience. "Do you remember when he said I'd like to take him behind the barn? If he took me behind the barn and I went like this," Trump said before pretending to blow on Biden, "I believe he'd fall over. ... Who knows?"

The live audience roared with laughter before Trump called out an alleged double standard between him and Biden.

"And by the way, it was OK for him to say that 'I'd like to take him behind,' and he could say that and everyone thought it was so cute. If I ever said it, they'd say, 'He's a dictator. He's a horrible human being.' You know, it's a whole double standard we have," Trump continued.

Trump then claimed Biden is unable to remain president both mentally and physically.

"I personally don't think he makes it physically," Trump said. "And mentally, I would say he's possibly equally as bad and maybe worse. I don't know. I will say this. He's got vicious people surrounding him around that beautiful Oval Office. There are people in that Oval Office that are evil people, bad people, smart people, young, vicious. They're communists."
