Donald Trump telephoned CNN minutes after Joe Biden announced that he would “stand down” from the US presidential race to declare him “the single worst president in history”.
Trump also posted an extraordinary – albeit typical – rant on social media, lambasting Mr Biden as “not fit to run… and not fit to serve”.
It will put further put pressure on Mr Biden to quit the White House with immediate effect rather than continue in office as a lame duck president.
In his call to CNN, minutes after Mr Biden had announced his exit from the race, Trump declared: “He goes down as the single worst president by far in the history of our country.”
He also boasted to the news channel that he was confident that Kamala Harris, the vice president now in the driving seat to win the Democratic nomination, would be easier to defeat than Mr Biden would have been.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump did not hold back, repeating his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
He wrote: “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.”
Trump claimed the medical establishment as well as the “mainstream media” had covered up the president’s frailties.
He added: “All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t – And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists.
“We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
It is unclear whether Mr Biden’s decision to step aside will give a further boost to the Trump campaign or provide the Democrats with a fresh impetus to defeat the Republican contender.
