Former President Trump insinuated former President Barack Obama is President Biden’s boss at an event in New Hampshire Monday.
“You’ve been ripped off by everybody and betrayed by the corrupt globalists, Washington, Wall Street people, those combinations of Washington, Wall Street, they’re the worst of all. And it’s never been worse than it is now under crooked Joe Biden, and frankly, his boss, Barack Hussein Obama,” Trump said at the event. “I think it’s his boss.”
Trump and Biden are likely set to face off in next year’s presidential election as their party’s respective nominees. Biden’s once-closest challenger, Robert F. Kennedy, is running as an independent and Trump is leading the Republican primary field, polling at an average of 44.8 percent ahead of his next challenger, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to FiveThirtyEight.
Trump has taken swings at Biden for alleged mental impairment in the past, sometimes calling him a “Manchurian candidate.”
“[W]e have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country, who is cognitively impaired, in no condition to lead, and is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war,” Trump said in a speech last month.
Biden’s age and cognitive health has been a major area of concern for voters as the 2024 election season has heated up. A CNN Poll last month found 56 percent of Democrats expressing concerns about his physical and mental competence. The White House has pushed back on concerns about Biden’s age.
“Look, here’s what I know, here’s what I can speak to. I can speak to that — a president who has wisdom,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said recently. “I can speak to a president who has experience. I can speak to a president who has taken historic action and has delivered historic pieces of legislation. And that’s important.”
