UPDATE: Former President Donald Trump unleashed a scathing attack on President Joe Biden during a high-profile speech at the American Cornerstone Institute’s fourth annual Founders Dinner on September 16, 2023. In a fiery rant, Trump labeled Biden as a “mean son of a b***h” and “stupid,” intensifying the ongoing feud between the two political figures.
Trump’s remarks came as he highlighted his own achievements, asserting that he had “ended the weaponization of law enforcement against religious believers.” He further stated, “Biden was always a mean guy, but never a smart guy. We go back 30 years, 40 years; he’s a stupid guy.” The former president continued, “How’s it working? Not working too well for him now. When you start feeling sorry for him, remember he was a bad guy.”
This latest verbal assault underscores Trump’s strategy of blaming Biden for various national issues since he took office in January. Notably, The Wall Street Journal recently cautioned Trump that his Biden-blaming tactic “won’t work for much longer,” raising questions about the effectiveness of his rhetoric.
Trump’s history of derogatory comments about Biden dates back to 2019, where he has persistently referred to him as “low-IQ.” Earlier this year, he even shared bizarre conspiracy theories on his Truth Social account, suggesting that Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone.
At the dinner, organized by Trump’s former Housing Secretary, Dr. Ben Carson, Trump also announced his intention to award Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, recognizing his contributions as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Carson, who founded the American Cornerstone Institute with his wife, Candy, has been a prominent ally for Trump since his administration.
In a moment of historical context, Trump claimed that George Washington would have voted for him, relaying praise from an unnamed source who described him as the third best president in U.S. history, behind Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
As the political landscape heats up ahead of the upcoming elections, Trump’s comments are likely to resonate with his supporters while further polarizing public opinion. With tensions mounting, observers will be watching closely for the implications of Trump’s rhetoric on both his political trajectory and Biden’s administration.
