Former president has to explain his use of sarcasm as MSM tries to smear him as mentally unfit.
Former President Donald Trump knocked Democrats’ desperate efforts to portray him as mentally unfit amid his tremendous momentum in the 2024 race, slamming the mainstream media’s recent fake news falsely claiming he forgot his wife Melania’s name.
“Radical left Democrats are at it again. They’re constantly making up stories about me because their candidate is a mental and physical basket case,” Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social Wednesday, adding, “There’s never been anything like it — he’s also the worst president in the history of our country.“
Trump went on to point out that during an appearance by Joe Biden on Late Night with Seth Meyers earlier this week, the corrupt 81-year-old Democrat puppet president deflected concerns over his age by falsely claiming Trump called Melania by the wrong name during a recent CPAC appearance.
“You got to take a look at the other guy,” Biden told host Seth Meyers. “He’s about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name.”
Trump continued:
“[Biden] went on a very poorly rated show last night and he talked about Donald Trump and his wife. ‘I don’t know the name of my wife.’ He was referring to the fact that at CPAC – we had a sold-out speech the biggest audience they’ve had in years. I think maybe ever – I made this statement that Melania was very popular, because when I mentioned her name, the audience went wild.”
“I then looked at the two people, man and wife, Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, and I said, ‘Wow, they really like the First Lady.’
“So this got taken as the fact that I thought Mercedes was the First Lady. It has nothing to do with that.”
“These people are really dishonest,” he added. “They are absolutely something. They have a horrible candidate who’s a horrible president. They make up things constantly.“
Trump went on to point out the disingenuous media frequently takes him out of context when he sarcastically swaps Biden’s and Barack Obama’s names during speeches to illustrate that Biden’s is Obama’s third term.
“You take a look at when I use ‘Barack Hussein Obama’ and I interject him into where it’s supposed to be Biden, and I do it purposely for comedic reasons and for sarcasm, because a lot of people say that Obama’s running the country, not Biden, because he’s sleeping all the time.
“They say, ‘Oh, I don’t know the name of the president,’ or when I imitate this guy getting off the stage. What they do is they say, ‘Oh, he had trouble getting off the stage.’”
“I have no trouble getting off the stage,” Trump stated. “And anybody that watches what I do at rallies would say, ‘Wow, that’s amazing. He can go two hours without a teleprompter not making even a little mistake.’ Very few people – maybe, almost nobody – can do what I do. “
“So here’s the story: The disinformation of the Democrats is unbelievable. They do it because they have a horrible candidate.”
Trump added, “Don’t associate me with the mental midget that you portray, because I want to tell you, he should not be leading this country. And hopefully, on November 5th, he’s not going to be.”
The former president’s forceful rebuke of the media’s fake news comes as concerns over Biden’s mental fitness reach fever pitch, with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre this week having to bat down questions over why Biden wouldn’t submit to a cognitive test in light of a recent special counsel’s report describing him as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
It’s gotten so bad other countries have taken to making fun of the U.S. and its bumbling, comically senile president:
