Trump Mocks Biden's Mental Acuity At Iowa Rally, Suggests President Is On Medication: 'Our Leader Is A Stupid Person'

At a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa on Saturday, former President Donald Trump delivered a scathing assessment of President Joe Biden, referring to the president as a "stupid person" and insinuating the latter's heavy dependence on medication.

What Happened: Trump critiqued Biden's recent diplomatic encounter with Chinese President Xi Jinping and accused the latter of being medicated during significant political engagements, reported CNN. 

Last Wednesday, Biden maintained his view that Xi is a dictator despite making some progress to improve the relationship between their two countries during a meeting outside San Francisco.

However, Biden clarified and said, "He's a dictator in the sense that he leads a communist country with a government structure distinct from ours. Anyway, we made progress," he told CNN.

Drawing attention to Biden's age and physical capabilities, Trump sarcastically mimicked the president's actions, stating, "Our leader is a stupid person," and suggesting, "Our leader can't get off this stage. You see this stage?" Trump then proceeded to pretend to have a confused demeanor, implying that Biden would struggle to leave the stage once his supposed medication wore off.

According to the report, Trump criticized Biden multiple times, highlighting the congressional probe into the Biden family's foreign business dealings.

He also took aim at the president for appearing uninformed during his meeting with Xi, stating that Biden seemed to have "absolutely no idea what was happening."

Trump frequently emphasizes Biden's age and stamina as campaign talking points. This tactic has been a staple in Trump's speeches as he positions himself for the upcoming presidential election.

As the 2024 election nears, Biden and Trump are considered leading candidates for their respective parties.
