Though he’s not yet back to posting on X (formerly Twitter), former President Donald Trump has kept up some of his fun, formerly on-Twitter antics on Truth Social, his social media platform. Recently, he did so with a wild post about President Joe Biden that featured a five-minute compilation of Biden freezing up, stumbling his way through a speech, or otherwise not seeming quite right from a mental perspective.
As background, there is much concern on the right and even somewhat on the left that President Biden’s mental state is not where it needs to be for the demanding nature of the job he is trying to do. That concern comes despite the Biden White House’s claims that Biden passes a cognitive test every day by doing the demanding job of being president and that he is cognitively fit for the job.
Still, many on the right and left are skeptical about Biden’s cognitive health. For example, billionaire activist Nelson Peltz, a Democrat, recently stated that he thinks President Biden’s “mental condition is really scary.” Peltz added, “I don’t know what he knows and I don’t know what he doesn’t know. I don’t know who’s speaking for him and that’s troubling.”
Similarly, though on the conservative side of politics, former White House doctor Ronny Jackson, now a GOP congressman, said that he does not think Biden is “cognitively fit” to be the president. He said, “We’ve been saying this for a long time. I had been saying this since before he actually became elected President, that this man is not cognitively fit to be our president. I said that it would continue to get worse. It has. Everyone has continued to see it on a regular basis.”
Much of the concern was sparked both by Biden’s on-stage performances and Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on why he did not recommend charges against President Biden, in which he said, “In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”), He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he “had a real difference” of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama. In a case where the government must prove that Mr. Biden knew he had possession of the classified Afghanistan documents after the vice presidency and chose to keep those documents, knowing he was violating the law, we expect that at trial, his attorneys would emphasize these limitations in his recall.”
The End Wokeness X account took Trump’s Truth Social post and put it on X so more people could see it, captioning the video by saying, “Trump just posted this brutal compilation of Biden’s brain glitching for 5 minutes.”
Commenting on the video, one poster opined that Biden is too old for the position, saying, “This is brutal. And it’s sad to watch. Biden has always been a terrible person but what he’s going through now isn’t something to wish on anyone. He obviously shouldn’t be in the White House. He should be cared for civilly in jail for the rest of his life. That’d be justice.”
Watch the video here:
Though Trump posted about Biden in that post, much of his Truth Social feed has been about the New York judgment against him. In one post, for example, he wrote, “Any business thinking about moving into New York State is CRAZY! The level of anger and hostility toward businesses and business people is incredible. Numerous people have spoken to me about this since the Racist and Politically Corrupt A.G., who ran for office on a platform of “I will get Trump” without knowing anything about me or my business, and her corrupt puppet Judge, Arthur Engoron, who has already been overturned 4 times on this case, a record, started doing a number on me.”
He continued, “Engoron laughed with disdain at the Appellate Division, his superior court, when they handed down a decision which essentially ended most of the case, and he REFUSED TO ABIDE BY IT. This is the first time something like that has ever happened in New York State. He is a Crazed, Trump Hating, Rogue Judge, has ZERO respect for the Appellate Judges, and has torn apart the Legal System in New York State, making it impossible for outside businesses to want to come there. Existing businesses will flee!!!”
