Trump wishes happy Fourth of July to ‘highly incapable’ Biden

Former President Donald Trump wished a happy holiday to his 2024 opponent, President Joe Biden, denouncing the Democratic incumbent as “highly incapable” and accusing him of weaponizing the U.S. justice system against him.

Trump blasted Biden’s debate performance, during which the president “choked like a dog” before trying to “pretend it was ‘International Travel,’” the former president wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“When that gig was up, he blamed it on a ‘cold,’” Trump wrote. “Therefore, why would anyone say he’s cognitively challenged?”

Trump then criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, who the former president referred to as “Laffin’ Kamala Harris” and his “potentially new Democrat Challenger.”

That comes in response to some Democratic lawmakers calling on Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, with Harris emerging as one of the most likely contenders to replace the president at the top of the ticket.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) became the first sitting House Democrat to call on Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday and was quickly followed by Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) and Seth Moulton (D-MA). Former Rep. Tim Ryan also came out on Tuesday to call on Harris to step up as the party’s 2024 nominee, calling Biden’s debate performance “deeply troubling” and evidence the party must move forward.

The White House has remained confident in Biden’s abilities to serve a second term, brushing off suggestions that the president should step down or withdraw from the race. In a campaign speech after the debate, Biden acknowledged that although he is no longer a “young man,” he can hold a second term.
