‘Is Joe Biden SENILE?’ Don Jr. retweets slur against ex-veep

‘Is Joe Biden SENILE?’ Don Jr. retweets slur against Democratic 2020 candidate minutes into debate held on former vice-president’s 77th birthday

Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a post asking ‘Is… is Joe Biden senile?’ sharing a video of the former vice president’s choppy opening statement during Wednesday night’s Democratic debate, held the same day Biden turned 77. 

The president’s eldest son followed that up with his own take on the video.   

‘Is this real at this point? It’s just embarrassing, he can’t complete a sentence,’ Trump said.

Biden’s start to the Atlanta, Georgia debate was marked by the former vice president being asked how he would get Republicans to work with him – a trait he’s often boasted – while they’re currently calling for investigations of him and his son Hunter, who had business dealings in Ukraine. 

Democrats opened an impeachment inquiry into President Trump over the president pressuring the president of Ukraine to open an investigation into Hunter Biden’s company, Burisma, and the 2016 campaign, holding up military aid and an Oval Office meeting in exchange. 

Biden ignored any reference to his son, instead answering that the next president would have to, No. 1, beat Trump and No. 2 ‘go into states like Georgia and North Carolina and other places and get a Senate majority.’    

‘You have to ask yourself up here who is most likely to be able to win the nomination in the first place, to win the presidency in the first place?’ he said, meaning the latter. ‘And secondly, who is most likely to increase the number of people who are Democrats in the House and in the Senate?’

Biden then moved on to his next observation.       

‘And by the way, I learned something about these impeachment trials. I learned number one that Donald Trump doesn’t want me to be the nominee,’ Biden said. ‘That’s pretty clear. He held up aid to make sure that while at the same time innocent people are getting killed by Russian soldiers.’

He made the same argument but subbed in a different leader.     

‘And secondly I found out that Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president,’ he said. ‘So I’ve learned a lot about these early on from these hearings that are being held.’

The former vice president then went back to his first point.  

‘But the bottom line is I think we have to ask ourselves the honest question, who is most likely to do what needs to be done?’ he said. ‘Produce a Democratic majority in the United States Senate, maintain the House and beat Trump.’
