Washington DC:
His predecessor Donald Trump tore into US President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, calling his speech “horrible” and saying he suffered from “Trump mentality,” Fox News reports Late stages of delirium syndrome.”
Responding to Biden’s remarks, the former president told Fox News Digital that “he was angry, unhinged, and distorted many of the facts on nearly every subject he discussed.”
“But he made it through. He was breathing and they didn’t have to carry him out in a straight jacket,” Trump said. “Other than that, I think he did a terrible job.”
During his more than hour-long speech, Biden repeatedly invoked Trump, calling him “my predecessor,” on issues including abortion, immigration, Russia’s war with Ukraine and more.
“He has late-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome, which can only be cured by impeachment,” Trump told Fox News Digital.
Asked why he felt Biden kept bringing him up, Trump said: “Because I’m 14 points ahead of him in the polls.”
“He was very angry, and that’s a symptom of something — aging,” Trump said. “He shouldn’t be at this age because he’s a very successful young man relative to other people his age.”
On Thursday night, Trump blasted Biden as a “threat to democracy” in a Truth Society post published after his speech.
“He uses government weapons against his opponents – he doesn’t talk about this, it’s never happened before!” Trump posted on the Truth social networking site.
Meanwhile, the former president swept all but one of the Super Tuesday primaries.
That prompted his only Republican rival, Nikki Haley, to suspend her campaign, paving the way for a 2020 rematch between Trump and Biden.
In the Super Tuesday Republican primaries, Haley won just 43 Republican delegates to Trump’s 764.
