President Donald Trump ranted shamelessly on Friday in response to Jill Biden’s recollection of Joe Biden’s fateful debate against him.

The former first lady said in her upcoming book and in an interview that she feared her husband’s slack-jawed doddering was from a possible stroke or perhaps from him being drugged.

On Truth Social, Trump attacked her for not rushing onto the stage to help him, suggesting it was his own strong performance that made Biden “choke,” while he also gloated about the ratings.

“Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards,” Trump began. “She said that she thought he was having a ‘stroke,’ and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do.”

The president followed with a truly reprehensible ego massage.

“The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse,” he wrote. “In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple ‘choke,’ leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!”

Biden’s shaky performance turbocharged concerns about his age, which led him to withdraw his reelection bid and make way for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.
