Speaking in a phone interview with Fox News Digital in the wake of President Joe Biden’s announcement that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump commented on Biden’s fitness for the presidency, or, more accurately, the lack thereof.
Particularly, the former president said that, Fox News Digital reports, elderly President Biden “was not fit to run for president” and is not fit and never “never was” fit to serve as the president given his seemingly quite diminished cognitive state, something that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also argued in a recent CNN interview.
Fox News Digital reports that former President Trump also argued that President Biden has been absolutely awful as president, as shows by his disastrously bad policies. Trump said, in the phone interview, “He is the worst president in the history of our country.” He added, “There has never been a president so bad.”
Continuing, Trump noted that the cognitive decline that many suspect to be behind Biden dropping out shows that President Biden is currently not fit to serve as the President, wondering as well who will be running the country with Biden out of commission. He said, “He is not fit to serve. And I ask — who is going to be running the country for the next five months?”
Former President Trump also wrote repeatedly about Biden on Truth Social. In one post, he said, “Crooked Joe Biden is the Worst President, by far, in the History of our Nation. He has done everything possible to destroy our Country, from our Southern Border, to Energy Dominance, National Security, International Standing, and so much more. He was annihilated in an Earth Shattering Debate, and now the Corrupt and Radical Democrats are throwing him overboard. He was not fit to serve from the very beginning, but the people around him lied to America about his Complete and Total Mental, Physical, and Cognitive Demise. Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
In another post, Trump wondered what was going on with Biden’s retreat to Delaware and argued that Biden isn’t fit for the presidency, saying, “Does anybody really believe that Crooked Joe had Covid? No, he wanted to get out ever since June 27th, the night of The Debate, where he was completely obliterated. That was the big moment in Joe Biden’s demise. That was the point in time when Joe was revealed for what he is, an incompetent man who should never have been President. Joe Biden is not fit to serve – He is destroying our Country!”

And, in still another post, he said, “So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President? Just askin’?”
In a very similar post, he wrote, “The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can’t win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris. They stole the race from Biden after he won it in the primaries — A First! These people are the real THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”
And, on Monday morning, Trump joked about Biden forgetting he dropped out, saying, “It’s a new day and Joe Biden doesn’t remember quitting the race yesterday! He is demanding his campaign schedule and arranging talks with Presidents Xi of China, and Putin of Russia, concerning the possible start of World War 3. Biden is ‘sharp, decisive, energetic, angry, and ready to go!'”
