President Donald Trump is hitting his presumptive general election opponent hard as the Democratic frontrunner continues to drop gaffes in nearly every public appearance.
Last Thursday, Trump suggested that former Vice President Joe Biden’s continued gaffes may be a sign of a competency issues, noting that Biden does not seem to remember basic things, has misspoken on countless occasions, and just doesn’t seem to make sense sometimes.
Trump connected with voters in Scranton, PA as well as those who watched the live event, talking about his opponents, Democrats, and the upcoming election. The president criticized Elizabeth Warren’s decision to drop out of the presidential race so soon, indicating that she may have sabotaged Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid by taking the progressive vote.
“Bernie Sanders would have won five, six, seven states,” Trump said. “When you look at it, she did him no favors. That was not a good friendship. We started to see that during the debates, by the way. It became unhinged.”
Trump also mentioned how the impeachment trial backfired on Democrats, as Biden was “damaged” by the impeachment process because his son Hunter was implicated in overseas corruption while Biden was VP.
“They aimed at Trump and they took Biden down,” said Trump. “Here’s a guy, who didn’t have a job, unfortunately sadly the military was a very sad experience for him — he goes out and gets $3 million plus $183,000 a month to be a board member of a company that a lot of people said was corrupt. Just as bad, China — I just made a great China deal … His son walks out a China for a billion-and-a-half dollars for a fund.”
The president continued and said it was a surprise to him when he heard the Super Tuesday results.
“I’m all set for Bernie, communist,” Trump started. “And then we have this crazy thing that happened on Tuesday, which he thought was Thursday. But he also said 150 million people were killed with guns, and that he was running for the U.S. Senate — there’s something going on there.”
The president made sure to say that he had not spoken to former President Barack Obama since they both attended the 2018 funeral for President George H.W. Bush. He also noted that that was in part due to the continued animosity he has towards that particular administration.
“I sat next to him, I said, ‘Hello,'” Trump said, describing the funeral. “Then I said, ‘Goodbye’ That’s about it. I didn’t like the job he did. I didn’t like the job he and Biden did. I didn’t like the position he put us in. I didn’t like what he did to our military. … Right now, we have more ammunition than ever before.”
Trump also told Fox News Town Hall that much of the media was “a part of the Democrat Party” to a “large extent” — and “we have to fight back.”
The president held that stance when he told this to a voter who asked how he intended to “bring us together,” noting that a relative banished all Trump supporters from the family.
“Success as a country is the solution,” Trump said, also saying that the Democrats would come to the ‘bargaining table, if not the dinner table,’ if he won reelection. He also said that “when they hit us, we have to hit back.”
Looks like it’s safe to say Trump is up for this fight to be president again.
Here’s what some of that town hall looked like:
