“I destroyed that old, good-for-nothing piece of trash,” Donald Trump says of Joe Biden during the debate. “They just announced he’s probably going to drop out,” he adds in the video, filmed at an undisclosed date.
“That means we end up with Kamala,” he added, referring to Kamala Harris. “She’s so bad, so pathetic.”
The White House, for its part, justified Joe Biden’s disastrous performance during the debate — staring into space, muddled sentences, etc. — by “a cold” and “jet lag” resulting from international travel.
A White House spokesman said the Democratic president had “been seen” by a doctor a few days later for his cold. A clarification likely to fuel criticism, as the White House said Wednesday that Joe Biden had not undergone a medical examination since his checkup in February.
Two polls released Wednesday reignited the crisis over President Joe Biden’s candidacy, showing Donald Trump’s clear lead in national voting intentions.
Watch the video above.
