According to Trump, Kennedy, who knew Biden well, disclosed that Biden lacked an understanding of complex concepts, policies, and taxes. While Kennedy mentioned that Biden was “well-meant,” he still characterized him as the “dumbest guy in the Senate.” Trump emphasized that Kennedy’s assessment of Biden contradicts the image of Biden as a “nice” person that he has managed to project to the American people.
In addition to discussing his views on Biden, Trump accused him of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a term often used to describe an unhealthy obsession with the former president. Trump also criticized leftists for weaponizing the government against him and accused them of secretly hating America.
Trump described Biden as a “vehicle” for the radical leftists who are steering his presidency. He claimed that these individuals are using Biden to push their own agenda and characterized them as “unrestrained lunatics.” Trump expressed concern over the weaponization of law enforcement against political opponents, viewing it as a dangerous drift towards the tactics employed in banana republics and third-world countries.
This interview with Trump offers insights into his perspective on Biden and the current state of American politics. According to Trump, Biden is not only lacking in intelligence but is also being manipulated by far-left individuals who do not have the best interests of the country at heart. His assessment underscores the ideological divide between conservatives and liberals in the United States.
