Former U.S. President Donald Trump urged people not to mock the mental capacities of his successor, Joe Biden. During a meeting with his supporters in Iowa, he stated, "Cognitively, he is not in very good shape. But that's not very funny, and we shouldn't joke about it. It's serious; we're dealing with nuclear weapons. That's not humorous at all."
At the same time, Trump did not deny that he himself had mocked Biden multiple times at campaign rallies, illustrating how Biden struggles to leave the stage after speeches. He noted that "the condition of world leaders is much better; they want what is best for their countries. In our country, there is someone who has never been in the best shape," recalling that Biden was previously described as "the dumbest senator." Trump also expressed doubts about Biden's participation in the upcoming elections due to his extremely poor physical and mental condition.
