President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his predecessor did not destroy the country, rather it was his staff around him who “knew he was cognitively impaired.”
Trump posted on Truth Social that Biden was “not for open borders” and that it was his staff who put the United States in “great danger.” The president called it “treason.”
“Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will,” Trump wrote. “It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger.”
“This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record,” he continued. “Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Axios’ Alex Thompson and CNN anchor Jake Tapper recently released a book on Biden’s physical and mental decline while he was in the White House, leaving the media and the public engrossed on what exactly happened during the Biden administration and how. Across more than 200 interviews with White House and party officials, Tapper and Thompson reported that aides were considering putting Biden in a wheelchair and that he did not recognize his longtime friend George Clooney at a fundraiser.
Two days before the book’s release, Biden’s team announced that the former president had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” prostate cancer.
The grim diagnosis has since raised questions from doctors, media figures and Trump himself about how such a condition was overlooked until recently.
Doctors and cancer experts told the Daily Caller that Biden likely had cancer while he was in the White House as the type of prostate cancer he has generally takes five years or more to develop and metastasize enough to spread to the bones.
“The other thing is, you have to say, why did it take so long when you — this takes a long time,” Trump said Monday in the Oval Office. “It can take years to get to this level of danger. So it’s a — look, it’s a very, very sad situation, and I feel very badly about it, and I think people should try and find out what happened.”
