At a recent campaign event at the Waukesha County Expo Center in Wisconsin, former President Donald Trump playfully poked fun at President Joe Biden’s recent struggles with reading off a teleprompter. Trump, known for his quick wit and humor, joked about the awkward pauses in Biden’s speech, claiming, “Isn’t it nice to have a president who doesn’t need a teleprompter — not that he can read it anyway, he can’t read it.” The audience erupted in laughter as Trump continued to mock Biden’s teleprompter mishap.
With his trademark confidence, Trump also declared himself the “king of nicknames” but expressed restraint in bringing up past nicknames for his now-friends-turned-rivals. He acknowledged that some of his previous nicknames may bring back bad memories, showing a level of sportsmanship rare in today’s political climate.
