The former president went on to assert that the United States could quickly descend into a war "more devastating than any war" under Biden's leadership. He also appeared to mix up his political opponents, indicating that he was beating former President Barack Obama in the 2024 election polls.
Trump's remarks have been met with criticism and disbelief on social media platforms, with some users referring to his speech as a "word salad." Observers highlighted Trump's seeming confusion over his past and potential future political opponents, including a statement suggesting he had defeated Obama in the 2016 election.
Notably, Trump also repeated the false assertion that Americans need to show ID to purchase bread at a separate event on the same day.
