CHICAGO — Former President Donald Trump mocked President Biden’s California getaway during the Democratic National Convention and gloated over his rival’s demise in a post to Truth Social.
Trump, 78, chided that Biden “is now unhappily sunbathing on a Beach in California, watching the waves, and thinking how much he hates Barack Hussein Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Lightweight Movie ‘Star’ George Clooney, who failed to come to Crooked Joe’s defense.”
Biden delivered the mainstay speech on Day One of the convention here Monday, then jetted off to California for a vacation more than 2,000 miles away.
“It all began on the evening of June 27, 2024, THE DEBATE, which I think was heavily pushed and promoted by Comrade Kamala Harris. She knew what was going to happen, and so did everyone else,” Trump claimed.
Biden’s fumbling debate performance against Trump sparked an outcry among Democrats and a chorus of calls for him to resign.
The incumbent has insisted that “No one influenced my decision; no one knew it was coming.” He announced his history-making decision to drop out of the race exactly one month ago on July 21.
But Trump claimed Biden is “seething” at the Democratic darlings who spoke at the convention and accused Vice President Kamala Harris of undercutting her boss.
“I watched Joe Biden Monday night, and was amazed at his ANGER at being humiliated by the Democrats. I was happy to have played a part in his demise,” Trump relished on Truth Social.
Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama spoke at the convention on Tuesday, with the latter making no mention of Biden in her speech.
The 44th president had been largely quiet during the revolt against Biden, but privately told allies he felt that Biden should rethink the viability of his reelection bid, the Washington Post reported.
Barack Obama caught wind of movie star George Clooney’s plans to pen an op-ed urging Biden to throw in the towel, but did not stop him, Politico reported.
The 63-year-old former president lavished praise on his former vice president during his remarks on Tuesday.
Trump further danced on Biden’s political demise, chiding that he doesn’t “know why he gave up” and
“The good news is that I believe Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, who served with the Worst Vice President in the History of the United States, is now seething,” Trump wrote.
“He got 14 Million Votes, she got NONE,” he added in reference to the 2024 Democratic primary. “He’s an angry man now, and he should be!”
