Former US President Donald Trump, harshly criticized US President Joe Biden for his State of the Union speech, calling it “terrible” and claiming to have a “terminal case of Trump derangement syndrome,” according to Fox News.
Reacting to Biden’s address, Trump told Fox News Digital, “He was angry, mentally disturbed, and misrepresenting a lot of the facts concerning almost every subject he discussed.”
“But he got through it. He is still breathing, and they didn’t have to carry him out in a straight jacket,” Trump said. “Other than that, I think he did a terrible job.”
During his more than hour-long speech on topics like immigration, abortion, Russia’s war against Ukraine, and more, Biden mentioned Trump almost a dozen times, referring to him as “my predecessor.”
“He suffers from a terminal case of Trump derangement syndrome, which is only curable through impeachment,” Trump told Fox News Digital.
“Because I’m beating him by 14 points in the polls,” Trump responded when asked why he thought Biden brought him up so much.
“He was very angry and that’s also a symptom of a certain type of problem — senility,” Trump said. “He shouldn’t be at this age because he is a young man relative to others his age that are very successful.”
Following the address on Thursday night, Trump attacked Biden as “a threat to democracy” in a post on Truth Social.
“HE WEAPONIZED GOVERNMENT AGAINST HIS OPPONENT – DIDN’T TALK ABOUT THAT, NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
In the meantime, the former president secured every state but one during the Super Tuesday primary elections.
This led Nikki Haley, his lone Republican opponent, to halt her campaign, clearing the path for Trump and Biden to face off again in 2020.
Haley only secured 43 Republican delegates during Super Tuesday’s Republican primary, while Trump secured 764.
