what did trump say about biden
Trump has continued to attack Joe Biden in very personal and often mocking terms, especially in early 2026, focusing on Biden’s competence, age, and economic record.
Quick Scoop: Core Things Trump Has Said About Biden
- Trump has repeatedly called Biden the “worst president” in U.S. history and blamed him for high inflation and economic “disasters,” including prices for everyday items like eggs and broader cost-of-living issues.
- He regularly mocks Biden’s mental and physical fitness, suggesting Biden can only give very short speeches and once claiming Biden was “high as a kite” during a prepared appearance, implying he was heavily boosted to get through it.
- Trump also pushes the narrative that Biden’s 2020 victory was the result of a “corrupt” or “rigged” election and uses that to argue Biden “brought the nation to the brink of destruction.”
Recent 2026 Remarks
- In a January 2026 speech at the Detroit Economic Club, Trump veered from economic topics to slam Biden for inflation and accuse him of presiding over “unprecedented disasters,” while describing Biden as “by far, the worst President in American History.”
- He joked that Biden’s speeches are usually very short, then riffed that on one occasion Biden was “spruced up pretty good” and “high as a kite,” saying he was “floating” through the speech but still calling it “a bad speech.”
How Trump Frames Biden Overall
- Trump often portrays Biden as weak, incompetent, and a threat to the country’s prosperity and security, tying him to inflation, border problems, and general decline.
- He mixes harsh insults (“worst thing that ever happened to old people,” “worst president ever”) with ridicule and impressions of Biden’s mannerisms to fire up supporters at rallies and in interviews.
Symbolic Digs and Running Jokes
- Trump has even used symbolic jabs, such as replacing Biden’s portrait in a White House “walk of fame” display with a framed image of an autopen signing a document, labeled “Autopen,” to mock claims about Biden not personally signing some official papers.
- The description next to that display blames Biden for “the highest inflation ever recorded” and again brands him “Sleepy Joe Biden” and “by far, the worst President in American History.”
