Donald Trump has repeatedly described Joe Biden as mentally “fired up” at his second campaign rally since his recovery from the coronavirus.
Speaking to a crowd of thousands on the battlefield state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday night local time, the president of the United States mocked his Democratic rival for forgetting the name of Republican senator and former presidential candidate Mitt. Romney.
“He was shot, I’m sorry to tell you all, he was shot,” Trump told the audience at John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport in Johnstown.
It came after the Republican accused the 77-year-old man of having “dementia” in a storm of early morning tweets, a word Trump had previously avoided using to describe his opponent.
“You know Biden can’t stand up to crazies at his own party,” he told the audience.
“He can’t even leave the stage without them. I’m running against the worst candidate in the history of politics. That puts more pressure on me. Can you imagine losing to a guy like this?”
After the rally, he tweeted a Photoshopped image showing Biden sitting in a wheelchair in a nursing home with the words “Biden for resident.”
“I’m a bit embarrassed. I wish I hadn’t gone that far,” said one user.
Another woman said: “Women in the suburbs think that teasing the elderly is cruel.”
One added, “So he’s making fun of being older. This should turn out fine.”
Trump, who was slightly less bombastic than during his Florida appearance on Monday, repeatedly rambled on various topics as he spoke of the largely unchanged teleprompter speech.
He pointed to a recent Gallup poll that found that 56 percent of Americans felt they were better off today than four years ago, a question Ronald Reagan first asked in 1980.
When asked about Monday’s poll, Biden said if people think they “probably shouldn’t” vote for him.
“His memory is not very good, frankly,” the former vice president told the Cincinnati WKRC.
Trump said 56 percent of saying “they are better today than under Sleepy Joe and Obama” was “the highest of any president at this point in his term.”
“Yesterday Biden told 56 percent of Americans that they probably shouldn’t vote for him, and for once I agree,” he said. “You have no idea what you’re saying.”
At one point, he suggested that House Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s attempt to establish a body under the 25th Amendment, which allows the president to be removed from office if incapacitated, was not directed at him.
“He’s doing it for Biden, you know that,” he said.
He added that it was “amazing, by the way” that it was “only seen on the internet,” referring to clips of Biden’s mistakes.
“They never report it,” he said, pointing to the assembled media. “They should report it. They are doing this country a disservice by not reporting it.”
Trump also boasted of his recovery from COVID-19, again stating that he was “immune” and jokingly saying that he could kiss audience members.
“I could have stayed in the basement of the White House, but I am the president of the United States, I cannot do that, I have to go out and I have to meet people, I know it is risky.” he said.
“Now I’m immune, they tell me, I’m immune. I could go down and start kissing everyone. I’ll kiss all men, men and women. Look at that guy, how handsome he is. He, not with much enjoyment, but okay.”
Trump claimed that they “hate saying it because I had it.”
“They used to say you’re immune for life, but once you have it, they give you four months,” he said, apparently referring to a new study from Harvard Medical School.
In comments likely to be seized upon by Democrats (healthcare has become a key election issue), Trump also boasted of the level of treatment he received.
“All I know is that I had something, whatever it was, it felt good very quickly, I felt like Superman,” he said.
“One good thing about being president, if you don’t feel 100 percent, you have more doctors than you thought existed. There were like 14 of them.”
Trump also renewed his address to “suburban women,” a key demographic he is fighting to win over, stating that Biden would “destroy their suburbs.”
He was referring to his repeal of an Obama-era regulation known as Affirmative Promotion of Fair Housing, which advocates argued lowered barriers to racial profiling, but critics said gave undue power to the federal government to dictate zoning. and land use.
“They talk about women in the suburbs, they say, ‘I don’t know if the women in the suburbs like you, they may not like the way you talk.’ But I’m in favor of law and order, to keep you safe, “he said.
“I don’t want to build low-income housing next to their house.”
Trump said suburban women “should like me more than anyone here tonight.”
“I ended the regulation that destroyed their neighborhoods, that brought crime to their suburbs,” he said.
“I’m asking you to do me a favor – women from the suburbs, will you please? I saved your fucking neighborhood, okay?”
