In a hilarious, resurfaced video from back in August of 2023, former President Donald Trump said, while speaking with former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, that he sees President Joe Biden as been exceptionally week and unable to function physically. Trump’s comments came well before Biden’s disastrous debate, showing that Biden’s infirmities were visible well before the media started calling attention to the matter.
During the interview with Tucker, former President Trump spoke about the copious amount of time that former President Biden has spent at his Rehoboth beach house. Biden, for reference, spent ten days of that July at the beach, adding yet more time to his lengthy tally of vacation days while president. Trump argued that he should be working harder.
Speaking during the interview about President Biden’s poor physical health, former President Trump joked that Biden is far from being anything resembling a star athlete, or even a barely capable athlete. He said, “I think he’s worse mentally than he is physically and physically. He’s not exactly a triathlete, or any kind of athlete.”
He continued, joking about President Biden’s various issues with Marine One, the presidential helicopter, namely his seeming inability to walk across the White House lawn to the helicopter. Trump said, “You look at him, he can’t walk to the helicopter. He walks, he can’t lift his feet out of the grass, you know, it’s only two inches at the White House.”
Speaking about much the same point, Trump joked about President Biden’s frail-looking legs and seeming weakness on the beach, saying, “You watch him and it looks like he’s walking on toothpicks. And then you see him on the beach where he can’t lift a chair. You know, those chairs are meant to be light, right? … They’re like two ounces.”
Commenting more about President Biden’s copious amounts of time on the beach, Trump added, “I don’t know what they’re doing with the beach. You know, this beach has seemed to play a big role, but they love pictures of him on the beach. I think he looks terrible on the beach. He can’t walk through the sand.” He added, “There’s somebody in there that thinks he looks fabulous at the beach. I think he looks horrible at the beach.”

Trump also said, commenting on President Biden spending so much time at the beach instead of working, “The beach doesn’t represent what the president is supposed to be doing, he’s supposed to be working. He’s supposed to be getting us out of that horrible, horrible war that we’re very much involved in with Russia and Ukraine.”
Trump then spoke about that Ukraine issue, saying, “You could do that. And you could do that very easily. I believe you could do that. I don’t believe he could do it because he’s just incompetent.” He added, speaking about his own foreign policy and belief in the strength and effectiveness of it, “If I were president, it would have never started.”
