Former President Donald Trump was not impressed with President Joe Biden’s demagogic, campaign-like exit speech.
As previously reported, Biden blatantly misused the Oval Office this Wednesday to deliver a full-throated, lie-filled campaign speech for Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
During the speech, he sought to ostensibly explain why he withdrew from the 2024 presidential race by claiming he did so “in the defense of democracy.” Trump didn’t buy that for one second.
“I think it was a coup,” Trump told the hosts of Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Thursday. “They didn’t want him running. He was way down in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose.”
“They went to him and they said, you can’t win the race, which I think is true unless I did something very foolish, which I wasn’t going to do, and I think he was so far down and they said, ‘You’re not going to win, and you’re not in great shape, and you did poorly in the debate.’ I think the debate started everything,” he added.

Correct. Prior to the debate between him and Biden, Democrats and their pathetically devoted media allies acted like the president was an infallible, perfectly sane God who had everything going for him.
Then the moment the debate shattered that illusion, Democrats and their media allies all turned on Biden, demanding he exit the race and let someone younger take his place. After weeks of pushing back on the criticism, the president finally bent the knee last weekend.
“I know a lot of people on the other side, too, that they went, and they forced him out between Pelosi and Obama and some others that you see on television,” Trump continued. “It was interesting. I’d watch them on television and they act so nice. ‘Oh, yes, we loved you. We loved you behind the scenes.’ I know for a fact they were brutal.”
Echoing what he wrote on Truth Social after the speech — that it “was barely understandable, and sooo bad” — Trump went on to say the Oval Office address was just plain “terrible.”
“It was like a terrible speech and terrible delivery,” he said. “He looked like he was having problems, and yet you watch the other networks and you would think he was Ronald Reagan in his prime, Winston Churchill in his prime, and he wasn’t. It was not good… It was not a good speech.”
“It’s so phony what’s going on. The press is so – it’s so fake. Anybody can see it was a problem,” he added.
True. Whereas honest critics responded to the president’s speech by highlighting its many flaws — namely that it was a campaign speech delivered from the Oval Office — the corporate press rushed to lavish praise on Dear Leader.
Case in point:
If you cannot appreciate the dignity, the grace, the selflessness, the patriotism of that speech – akin to Washington’s farewell – but instead feel compelled to denigrate him, nitpick or return to petty partisan politics I pity you. You’re denying yourself the majesty, the…

While speaking with the hosts of “Fox & Friends,” Trump also addressed Vice President Harris’ false claim that he’s a “predator.”
“I was elected vice president before I was like the United States Senator,” she said during a rally Tuesday. “I was elected attorney general of the State of California, and I was a courtroom prosecutor before then. I took on perpetrators of all kinds.”
“Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s tight and in this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week,” she added.

Responding to these remarks, Trump bluntly called Harris “garbage.”
“Well, I think it’s disgusting,” he said of her words. “[But] I get a kick out of one thing. They say, ‘Sir, be nice. You just got hit with a bullet. Maybe he’s changed. Be nice.’ and I’d love to be nice, but I’m dealing against real garbage when you hear that.”
This prompted Fox News host Brian Kilmeade to ask whether her remarks had gotten under his skin.
“It’s not a question of getting under your skin,” Trump replied. “You fight back. I fought back, I think, very valiantly. But they weaponized the United States Justice Department against Donald Trump for purposes of hurting their political opponent. And so far, and I think long term, it’s had it’s had a positive effect. My poll numbers are high, higher than they’ve ever been.”
True.
