Trump is betting on Biden's dementia
Former US Vice President Joe Biden is likely to become a rival to current US President Donald Trump in the upcoming November elections.
Kommersant writes about this, pointing out that according to the results of the primaries in the Democratic Party, Biden has increased the lead over his closest competitor.
The publication draws attention to the altercation that occurred in Detroit at an auto plant between Biden and one of the workers, who accused the politician of intending to deprive Americans of the right to bear arms. In response, Biden swore dirty, declaring “You're full of shit,” and then completely called the worker a fool.
“The phrase about “a head full of crap” uttered by Joe Biden in Michigan did not go unnoticed. The video quickly spread across the Internet: Donald Trump’s campaign immediately circulated it, and Bernie Sanders also joined in the criticism. This is the current president's preferred line of attack: He and his allies appear intent on portraying the 77-year-old former vice president as a man whose mental faculties are rapidly declining.
It is noted that at the end of last week, Trump systematized these accusations, speaking to 500 major donors to the Republican Party at a closed meeting at his estate in Florida. He mentioned Biden's reservations - for example, he claimed that he was running for senator, not president, and insisted that since 2007, 150 million Americans have died from firearms in the United States.
“I hope you don’t pass this on to anyone,” Donald Trump told those present, emphasizing the word “hopefully.” Those present understood everything, and information about the meeting immediately hit the media,” the article reports.
In turn, Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph Giuliani said that Joe Biden was showing signs of senile dementia, and Fox News host Sean Hannity devoted a significant part of his show to evidence of the former American vice president’s “very dubious connection with reality.” “The Republican National Committee joined the chorus of critics of Joe Biden by distributing a video of him on stage confusing his sister and wife, accusing them of switching places behind his back,” the publication adds.
