President Trump responded to claims made against him by Joe Biden during the latter’s first press conference in two months, calling the entire sorry spectacle ‘ridiculous’.
Biden bumbled through the event, often losing his train of thought even though he had a binder full of prepared answers and pictures to help him identify the reporters. He even randomly wandered away from the microphone at points.
Appearing on Fox News, Trump said “The whole thing was ridiculous. You know it and so do I.”
He noted that every question was a softball, calling it “a different world,” from when he was president, also noting “I noticed [Fox News’] Peter Doocy didn’t get to ask a question today. And there can be no difficult questions, and [White House aides] are ready to rip the microphone away if somebody did get a little bit testy.”
At one point when asked about the border crisis, Biden claimed “When an unaccompanied child ends up at the border, we [aren’t] going to let them starve to death and stay on the other side — No previous administration did that either, except Trump. I’m not going to do it.”
President Trump responded, emphasising “First of all, it’s just the opposite. By the time we finished what we were doing [on the border], very few people were coming up because they knew they weren’t going to get through. We stopped ‘catch and release’ — which was a disaster.”
“The very biggest thing was, we had the Remain In Mexico policy, and that means that we wouldn’t allow people to wait in our country until they were totally checked out, which most of them didn’t get checked out, and they would go back to their own country,” Trump added.
“If young kids were with parents, but a lot of times, they weren’t, and we would take care of them, but … what they are doing now is outrageous. And they should finish the wall,” Trump added.
Trump said the US delegation “should have walked out,” adding “Nobody ever talked to my group that way… If they did, I would have doubled up the tariffs — which, frankly, were something we probably should have done, anyway.”
“I took in billions and billions of dollars from China. We were bringing businesses back. It was really going well. And China respected us. They never spoke to us the way they spoke [to Biden’s team],” Trump further declared.

President Trump drew howls of laughter Thursday night at a New Hampshire rally when he once again imitated Joe Biden getting lost on stage, and having to ask for directions from handlers.
“You would think at least one time he’d get up and say, ‘I’m running for president — where, where am I going, where the hell am I going,’” Trump said before doddering around and waving his arms about in confusion like Biden does.
“I want to get out, oh, no over there, over there,” He continued.
Trump then referred to Biden’s low energy campaign announcement describing it as “a prepackaged video that took supposedly seven takes to get it right, if ‘right’ is what you want to call it. In it, he says he’s running because ‘Trump and MAGA pose a threat to democracy,’ can you believe it?”
Trump also announced that he’s retiring the nickname ‘crooked’ for Hillary Clinton and from now on applying it to Joe Biden:
TRUMP: “I will be retiring the name ‘Crooked’ from Hillary Clinton.. so we can use the name for Joe Biden — he’ll be known from now on as ‘Crooked Joe Biden’.. because there’s never been anyone in the history of American politics so crooked or dishonest.” pic.twitter.com/2hDNCHb5ye
Trump’s impersonation comes a day after Biden was seen wandering around the White House asking for directions and how to exit the stage on multiple occasions:

During a speech in Florida Friday, Donald Trump highlighted how he will likely be running for President against a man who doesn’t know where he is most of the time.
“He’s all ga-ga,” Trump told the crowd, adding “he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”
“Sometimes you have to talk tough, and sometimes you have to talk soft, and he’s got a mixed up. He talks tough when you’re supposed to talk soft, and he talks soft when you’re supposed to talk tough,” Trump continued, referring to times when Biden suddenly starts yelling for no reason during speeches.
Trump further noted, “then he walks off the stage, but he’s supposed to walk that way! Where am I? Where am I?!” referring to Biden getting lost practically every time he’s on a stage.
Meanwhile, a new NBC poll has revealed that 53 percent of 2020 Biden voters say that he shouldn’t run again.
The poll also found that more than three quarters of voters under the age of 35 don’t want a second Biden term, believing him to be too old.

Americans are dissatisfied with what is likely coming: A 2024 re-match between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
According to a new @NBCNews poll, just 1 in 4 Americans believe Biden should run for re-election and only 35% believe Trump should run again. pic.twitter.com/HB97g2mOm0
The findings come on the heels of a Rasmussen poll that revealed almost two thirds of Democratic voters would like to see challengers run against Biden, with less than 40 percent believing Biden should seek a second term.
