Former President Donald Trump is at it again, making insults and wild claims on social media. This time, he is targeting President Joe Biden after his speech to the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Trump took to social media, calling Biden’s speech “angry and full of lies.” This is a strong claim, especially from someone who has been known for making false statements so often that it’s almost expected. In his rant, Trump accused Biden of taking credit for “everything done during the Trump Administration,” which some might find ironic, as many Americans would prefer to forget much of what happened during Trump’s presidency.
Mario Nawfal tweeted Trump’s statement:
“An angry and ranting Speech full of LIES, Biden took credit for everything done during the Trump Administration, even continuing to say that he was better on Inflation and Jobs. He never mentioned the Afghanistan Disaster and all the Wars he got us into, or the fact that far more people died from COVID during the Biden years than the Trump years. The Jobs Biden/Harris created were almost 100% from Illegal Aliens pouring into our Country, which are destroying the lives of our Black and Hispanic population!”
Did it end there? Probably not. Trump kept going. He complained that Biden didn’t mention the “Afghanistan Disaster” and ignored the fact that he (Trump himself) played a big role in creating that problem. He also claimed that more people died from COVID-19 during Biden’s time in office, but overlooked how his own poor handling of the pandemic set the stage for those deaths.
But not everyone was buying Trump’s rant. One reply pointed out the obvious irony:

Another user, Stiff Martini (@stiffmartini), didn’t hold back either:
“Every point he repeated was inaccurate, indecipherable, or an outright debunked lie.”

The most striking part was his dive into the Great Replacement Theory. This idea, popular with far-right media, wrongly says that immigrants are taking jobs from Americans. Trump claimed that jobs created under Biden were “almost 100% from Illegal Aliens pouring into our Country.” But did he provide any proof? Of course not—he rarely does.
And what about the video clip Trump posted? It showed Biden struggling to speak, clearly meant to embarrass him. Isn’t it petty to share something like that? In the end, Trump’s latest rant is just more of the same drama. Many Americans want to move on from his chaos. But isn’t it clear that Trump isn’t ready to step away from the spotlight?
