WASHINGTON (EFE).— Former US President and Republican presidential candidate in November, Donald Trump, mocked Joe Biden’s gaffes at the NATO summit in Washington, where the current president called Volodymyr Zelensky “Putin” and Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
In a series of posts on the social media site Truth, Trump used excerpts from Biden’s statements to the press to mock the president.
“Great job Joe,” the Republican wrote alongside a clip showing one of the president’s lapses at the conference, where he confused Vice President Kamala Harris with Trump.
“Crooked Joe has a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the politician wrote, referring to Biden’s remarks as a “little man press conference.”
Yesterday’s debate was the first time President Biden has taken questions from the press alone since November of last year and comes amid growing pressure for him to drop out of the Democratic nomination following his disastrous performance in the first presidential debate once morest Trump at the end of June.
Biden is the president who has given the fewest press conferences since Ronald Reagan, with only 55.
His predecessor, Trump, gave 202 and former President Barack Obama, 275, according to a count by The New York Times.
The 81-year-old Democrat dismissed questions from reporters, alluding to concerns among lawmakers and senior Democratic figures regarding his ability to win the election and lead the country for four more years.
Biden insisted he is the most capable person to beat Trump and stressed that he is in “good shape.”
Asked how to counter Trump’s taunts, Biden said: “Listen to him.”
