UPDATE: In a fiery speech at the American Cornerstone Institute’s fourth annual Founders Dinner on Saturday night, former President Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of criticism against President Joe Biden, branding him “stupid” and “mean.” This explosive address, delivered in front of a packed audience, highlighted Trump’s ongoing strategy to undermine Biden’s presidency, which he claims is failing.
Trump’s remarks came just after 8:00 PM EDT at the high-profile event, organized by his former Housing Secretary, Dr. Ben Carson. He asserted, “Biden was always a mean guy, but never a smart guy. We go back 30 years, 40 years; he’s a stupid guy.” This statement follows a pattern of Trump’s attacks on Biden, which have intensified since he left office in January 2021.
The former president further stated, “He was always a mean son of a b***h. How’s it working? Not working too well for him now.” Trump’s comments reflect a broader narrative he has maintained, often asserting that Biden’s leadership is detrimental to the country. In fact, Trump has previously referred to Biden as a “low-IQ individual” as far back as 2019.
Earlier in his speech, Trump claimed that George Washington would have supported his presidency, citing anonymous sources who allegedly ranked him as the third-best president behind Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Adding to the evening’s significance, Trump announced that he would award Dr. Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, recognizing his contributions during Trump’s administration and the establishment of the American Cornerstone Institute in 2021.
As Trump continues to rally support among his base, his aggressive rhetoric against Biden raises questions about the impact on the upcoming political landscape. The Wall Street Journal has cautioned Trump that his relentless Biden-blaming strategy “won’t work for much longer,” indicating a potential shift in public perception.
The intensity of Trump’s remarks and the context of the event highlight the deepening political divide in the United States. As the nation gears up for the next election cycle, all eyes will be on how these sentiments resonate with voters.
With Trump’s ongoing influence and Biden’s presidency facing scrutiny, experts suggest that the coming months will be critical. The speech not only serves as a reminder of the contentious relationship between the two leaders but also underscores the urgency of the political climate as both parties prepare for a crucial election ahead.
