While addressing a Detroit crowd, Trump acted out a mocking version of Biden, complete with coughing, groaning, and exaggerated gestures that drew a few laughs but mostly silence.
The president was speaking at an event hosted by the Detroit Economic Club. During his remarks, he claimed Biden only gives speeches that last “a matter of seconds.”
He then acted out what he said Biden looked like before speaking. Trump made loud coughing noises, grunts, and strained sounds while imitating him. A few people laughed, but the reaction in the room was muted.
Trump briefly pretended to be Biden standing at a podium. He spoke slowly and mocked his energy level.

“It would be very short — although the one time they had him spruced up pretty good, remember? He was high as a kite,” Trump said.
Trump did not explain which speech he was referring to. He then looked up toward the ceiling as he continued the routine.
“He was floating,’ he was up there, way up,” Trump said.
Trump added that it was a “bad speech,” but said Biden deserved credit for “getting through it.” He then quickly shifted topics.
From there, Trump attacked Biden over immigration. He claimed Biden allowed “25 million people” to illegally enter the United States, a figure he has repeated before.
The speech came after Trump toured a Ford production plant in Dearborn, Michigan, earlier that day. He also used the event to repeat claims about election fraud.
Trump told the crowd that the 2024 Senate election in Michigan was “rigged,” even though he won the state on the same ballot.
He then addressed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers directly.
“I’ll be honest with you, Mike. They rigged the election on you. Mine was too big to rig. You won, I’m telling you, you won, but you’re going to do great this time. He’s a great guy, actually. He’s going to be an amazing senator. Thank you. Thank you for being here with me.”
Trump also used the speech to attack members of his own party. He called out Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and referred to him as a “stone-cold loser.” He then claimed Paul would have lost his last two elections without his support.
