President Trump jabbed his presumptive Democratic rival, Joe Biden, Sunday, cracking, “I don’t think he remembers what he did yesterday.”
When asked during an interview on Sinclair Broadcasting’s syndicated “Full Measure News” what he thinks Biden’s “strongest feature” is, Trump couldn’t find one nice thing to say.
“Well I would have said experience, but he doesn’t really have experience because I don’t think he remembers what he did yesterday,” Trump quipped.
“So how is that experience?” he went on.
“He’s been there a long time,” Trump went on. “He was never known as a smart person.”
Asked by host Sharyl Attkisson about Biden’s weakest point, Trump said he could talk “all day long.”
“First of all, he’s not mentally sharp enough to be president,” Trump said.
“He’s got China and he’s got all these countries. Russia … China doesn’t want me to win, but Biden doesn’t know, I mean, he doesn’t know he’s alive.”
Trump claimed Biden “can’t answer simple questions” — but said he himself is still up against the power of the Democratic Party and the media.
“I’m against a very powerful party, the Democrats, and they can take this glass of water and say that’s your candidate,” he said. “I’m against a very powerful and very corrupt party.
“And I’m against the real obstructionist, which is the media, because the media is corrupt in this country. It’s totally corrupt. Whether it’s a poll or a story, I do a good thing and I get a bad story. I do another good thing, I get a bad story, or I get no stories.”
He predicted that if Biden wins the presidency, “the market will crash.”
Attkisson calculated that Trump had spent “41¹/₂ hours” talking to the media from March 13 through April 23.
Asked if that was time “well spent,” Trump said “I think it was.”
“I certainly got the highest ratings on cable television by a lot,” he added. “I mean, you saw that. And I get to the public.
“Look, the news is very corrupt. It’s very, very dishonest. I’ve never seen anything like it. I always knew it, but I never knew to this extent. Anything I say, anything I do is never good enough.”
Meanwhile, Biden over the weekend jumped on Trump’s return to the golf course, tweeting a video that juxtaposed clips of the president teeing off with emergency responders to the coronavirus.
“Nearly 100,000 lives have been lost, and tens of millions are out of work,” Biden tweeted Saturday. “Meanwhile, the president spent his day golfing.”
