“He Will Feel Badly About Himself” Trump Rants About Biden’s Debate Loss and Hunter’s Influence on Sean Hannity’s Show
Former President Donald Trump, who has largely avoided public events since the presidential debate in Atlanta, appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program on Monday. During the lengthy discussion, Trump addressed President Joe Biden’s perceived poor performance in the debate and the ongoing concerns within his own party regarding Biden’s cognitive health.
Trump, known for his own rambling speeches about topics like shark attacks and boat batteries, went on a tirade speculating that Biden’s son, Hunter, was the mastermind behind his administration. “He will feel bad about himself for a long time,” Trump said. “It’s hard to give it up that way, the way to try to force him out. Really have to speak to his doctors, obviously has been sheltered by the fake news media, that’s why they call it fake news.”
“It looks to me like he may very well stay in, he has an ego and he does not want to quit, he does not want to do that, looks to me that’s what he wants,” said Trump. “I think that [First Lady] Jill [Biden] would like to see him stay, she’s having a good time, she seems to be having a really good time and I’m hearing that Hunter’s calling the shots. This is not necessarily a very popular thing for the country, but I think he might very well stay in, and if he does, nobody wants to give it up that way.”
Hunter Biden, recently convicted on firearms charges, has been the target of months-long investigations by Congressional Republicans. They have sought to uncover evidence that President Biden laundered international bribes through his son’s business interests. To date, these investigations have not yielded any conclusive results, and attempts to impeach Biden have fizzled out reported Raw Story.
In his appearance on Hannity, Trump criticized the media for protecting Biden and not scrutinizing his health and performance as intensely as they did with Trump during his presidency. “The fake news media shelters him, and that’s why they call it fake news,” Trump reiterated.
Trump’s comments reflect his ongoing strategy of attacking Biden’s mental fitness while deflecting criticisms of his own behavior. Despite his critiques, Trump’s own mental health has been questioned due to his erratic public statements and actions.
The conversation also touched on the broader implications of Biden’s perceived weaknesses, with Trump suggesting that these issues could have significant consequences for the country’s leadership and international standing. “It’s a big problem when you have a leader who isn’t all there,” Trump asserted.
This latest interview highlights the deepening political divide and the continuing narrative battles as both sides prepare for the next election cycle. Trump’s remarks underscore his efforts to delegitimize Biden’s presidency and frame the narrative for his potential 2024 campaign.
As Trump continues to voice his grievances and conspiracy theories on platforms like Fox News, the political landscape remains fraught with tensions and uncertainties. The coming months will likely see a further escalation of these rhetorical battles as the former president and his supporters seek to influence public opinion and the direction of future political discourse.
