Former President Donald Trump hit back Thursday in a Fox News interview about President Joe Biden's age being the reason behind his frequent “difficulties.”
President Trump appeared on “Hannity” for a one-on-one interview at the southern border, where he discussed a number of ongoing political issues facing the United States. During the debate, Fox host Sean Hannity spoke about recent public opinion showing that an overwhelming majority of Americans are concerned about Biden's age amid the president's repeated public gaffes. We asked the former president what he thought about the investigation. (Related: The media is wrong — President Trump's immunity appeal is moving at 'lightning speed')
President Trump made it clear to the Fox host that he didn't think age was an issue of “difficulty” for Biden, saying it might be an “easy answer” but that he “didn't like” giving it. It pointed out. The former president continued to express support for having Biden undergo cognitive testing and emphasized the importance of the critical “historic moment” the United States is currently facing.
“Well, I don't want to hear them use the word 'old,' because I don't think it's old. I know people who are 87, 88 years old, and I know people who are 90, I mean. I know people from the 90s. I'll give you Bernie Marcus as an example, he's 95 years old. There are people who are just as sharp, but it seems to me that they're as sharp as they've ever been. There's something about it — probably wrong. I felt conflicted when you asked me that question, because we're adversaries, and, I don't know, it's a difficult question to answer. The answer is simple, but I don't like to do it. He has some difficulties. But it's not the age, because I'm much older than him, 100 “Because I know a lot of people who are very sharp. I think most people would agree with that,” President Trump said.
“I don't think he could sit down and do an interview like this.'' “I couldn't do that,” Hannity said.
“He couldn't do this interview. He couldn't do an interview where he would even ask some questions. As I said clearly this morning, the president has not taken a cognitive test. The president should take a cognitive function test. [test]. Now they're saying it's unconstitutional, unconstitutional for whatever reason. But I'm very proud of the fact that he won two games and aced both of them. I mean, everything went well for me,” Trump continued. “They're not that easy. The first one turns out to be very easy. Then you get up and go into the middle category, and then you move on to the last question. Who can answer these last questions? There were very few. In fact, they are very tough.”
“But I think it's important that in some way, we have this person negotiating nuclear weapons with President Putin and President Xi, and he has no idea what's going on. He can't find his way off the podium when he's speaking, so he climbs five flights of stairs and ends up hitting a wall. Whenever I imitate him, people say, “Trump had a hard time getting off the podium.'' I love irony, so sometimes I do things out of irony. But politically, it never works because they always turn it on you. But let me tell you, it's not a question of age. But something is happening. You can't take any chances. These are the most dangerous times in the history of the world. We have an incompetent president,” Trump said.
recent polls carried out The Ipsos Knowledge Panel survey found that nearly 86% of 528 adults surveyed said Biden was “too old” for a second term. The investigation finds that “Biden, Trump, both, or neither'' will seek a second term, especially after the recent release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on Biden's handling of classified documents. Voters were asked if they thought they were “too old” to serve. In it, the president was labeled as an “old man with a bad memory.”
The poll found that 59% said both Trump and Biden were too old, only 27% supported Biden, 11% were undecided and just 3% supported the former president.
After the release of Heo's report, Biden faced significant backlash over his mental health, with some Democrats concerned about the president's ability to win the 2024 general election. Biden held a late-night press conference defending his own cognitive abilities. However, the president could not remember which church parish his son's rosary came from, confusing it with multiple world leaders.
