Trump mocks Joe Biden in Elon Musk interview

Trump mocked Biden during the interview and said, "I looked at him today on the beach, and I said, Why would anybody allow him? The guy could barely walk. Why would anybody allow him?"

Trump also talked about a recent video of Biden moving a beach chair and said, "And it's, it's ridiculous, I mean, and he's been doing that for a long time, you know, you can't lift the chair. The chair weighs about three ounces. It's meant for children and old people to lift, and he can't lift it. The whole thing is crazy."



 

Trump also took jibes at Biden on his approach to Russia's war on Ukraine and said, "This president has a low IQ, very low IQ. He had a low IQ 30 years ago, by the way, but now he might not even have a IQ at all."

He added, "You know, Biden did something with Russia. There was no chance of him ever going in. And when I left, and then, after I left, they started forming big armies on their border with Ukraine, right? And I looked at that, and I thought he was doing that because Putin's a good negotiator. I thought he was doing that to negotiate."



 

The GOP presidential candidate also talked about rising inflation under the Biden administration and said, "If you’re just a middle-income person, you can’t afford it."

He added, "You know, four years ago, five years ago, people were saving a lot of money. Today, they’re using all that money and borrowing money just to live. It’s a horrible thing that is happening."

Trump also supported Musk to serve on a commission that would monitor 'government overspending' the latter floated the idea. Musk said, "I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that ensures that the taxpayer money is spent in a good way."

He added, "And I’d be happy to help out on such a commission" to which Trump replied, "You’re the greatest cutter."

Internet trolls Biden as Trump said he is 'close to vegetable stage'

People on the internet sided with Trump and trolled Biden as he said the President is 'close to vegetable stage' during a recent interview with Elon Musk and criticized him for the rise in inflation.

A user wrote on X, "Truly — who’s running the country, and why don’t the major news outlets care?" while one added, "Oh s**t he moved! Did you see it I saw him move!!"



 



 

A person also stated, "Where's the timer to let someone know it's time to flip him to the other side?" whereas one mentioned, "Do you have to go to the beach to lie in the shade?"



 



 

A user also wrote, "He probably told whomever filmed this 'don't!'" while one commented, "Is that his hospice nurse sitting next to him?"



 



 

A person added, "It's true. It's like Veggie Tales without the moral Christian story attached," whereas one said, "Notice how he has to have someone sitting next to him at all times, even when he's passed out. What's that about??"
