Trump recalled the difficulty Biden had in dealing with the teleprompter.
“You know, when you come up here, you take a big risk. Especially me, because I go off the teleprompter about 80% of the time. But it’s not good to have a president who can go off the teleprompter, don’t you think?” he mocked.
Many people in the audience laughed at Trump’s comment, and he continued: “Do you remember the speeches Joe gave? First of all, they lasted a matter of seconds, you know.”
He said that Biden always coughed before a speech and then began to imitate the Democrat’s cough.
“Do you remember he was high as a kite? He was floating. He was up there, way up there… that was a bad speech. But, uh, hey, he managed to finish it, you know,” Trump concluded.
The scene went viral on Reddit, drawing the anger of some users. “An absolute disgrace of a human being, who gave other horrible human beings an excuse to be the vilest version of humanity,” raged one of them.
“I’m very afraid of the current generation of children and teenagers who will think this behavior is completely normal for a president. My God, he caused unprecedented damage to our country and our people,” lamented another.
