Donald Trump said Joe Biden “must be insane” or suffering from dementia, in response to the president’s speech attacking Make America Great Again [MAGA] Republicans.
Trump questioned Biden’s health in a post on Truth Social after the president gave a fiery speech in Pennsylvania accusing his predecessor and the MAGA agenda of being an “extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
During his primetime address at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Biden said that while a majority of republicans don’t embrace the “extreme ideology,” it is clear that the GOP is “dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”
In response, Trump defended his MAGA movement while repeating a common Republican line of attack suggesting the 79-year-old president may be suffering from cognitive decline.
“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 wrote.
“If you look at the words and meaning of the awkward and angry Biden speech tonight, he threatened America, including with the possible use of military force. He must be insane, or suffering from late stage dementia!”
Biden, who vowed to unite the country as president following the divisive four years of the previous administration, has recently increased his attacks on Trump and his political movement, including referring to the MAGA agenda as “semi-fascism.”
