UPDATE: In a fiery address at the American Cornerstone Institute’s fourth annual Founders Dinner on Saturday night, former President Donald Trump unleashed a tirade against current President Joe Biden, labeling him “stupid” and a “mean son of a b***h.” This latest outburst marks a continuation of Trump’s aggressive rhetoric towards Biden, who he accuses of failing the nation.
Trump’s comments came during a high-profile black-tie event organized by former Housing Secretary Ben Carson in Washington D.C.. The former president proclaimed, “Biden was always a mean guy, but never a smart guy. We go back 30 years, 40 years; he’s a stupid guy.” His words were met with applause from the audience, reflecting the ongoing partisan divide in American politics.
The former president’s speech not only targeted Biden but also reiterated his own achievements, claiming he had “ended the weaponization of law enforcement against religious believers.” Trump concluded his remarks about Biden with a stark warning, stating, “When you start feeling sorry for him, remember he was a bad guy,” emphasizing his disdain for the current administration.
Trump has consistently criticized Biden since he assumed office in January 2021, accusing him of incompetence and low intelligence. The Wall Street Journal has previously noted that Trump’s strategy of blaming Biden may not be sustainable in the long term, as public perception shifts.
In a notable segment of his speech, Trump asserted that George Washington would have voted for him, claiming praise from an unnamed source who ranked him as the third-best president, behind Washington and Abraham Lincoln. This assertion underlines Trump’s continued efforts to position himself as a historical leader.
Additionally, during the event, Trump announced plans to award Dr. Ben Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contributions to the country, further solidifying their political alliance. Carson, who founded the American Cornerstone Institute with his wife, Candy, served under Trump’s administration and has remained a significant ally.
This latest outburst from Trump is likely to fuel ongoing discussions about the political climate in the U.S. As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the former president’s remarks are a clear indication of his strategy to rally his base by vilifying Biden, a tactic that has resonated with many of his supporters.
As the political landscape evolves, observers are keenly watching how Trump’s rhetoric will influence voter sentiment leading up to the upcoming elections. The fervor of his comments at the Founders Dinner highlights the urgency and intensity of current political discourse in the United States.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, and watch for reactions from both sides of the aisle in the days to come.
