NEWS AFFAIRS 7 : WHERE EVERY STORY HAS IT'S AFFAIR!
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former President Donald Trump took to the social media platform “Truth Social” to express his frustration and anger following Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election. Trump’s posts criticized Biden’s decision and called for the Republican Party to be reimbursed for what he labeled as fraud.
Trump’s Social Media Posts
In his initial post, Trump expressed his discontent with the situation:
“So we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again.”
He further questioned the integrity of Biden’s campaign and the role of those around him:
“Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the fake news media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President? Just askin’?”
Debate and Media Criticism
Trump also addressed the debate schedule and his preferences for media coverage:
“Crooked Joe just got knocked out, so now I’ll have to do it a FOURTH TIME!!!”
Trump criticized the choice of network for the debates, suggesting a change:
“Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC. Thank you!”
Allegations About Biden’s Health
Trump didn’t stop at criticizing Biden’s decision to withdraw but also cast doubt on his health:
“Does anybody really believe that Crooked Joe had Covid? No, he wanted to get out ever since June 27, the night of the debate where he was completely obliterated.”
He argued that the debate revealed Biden’s incompetence:
“That was the big moment in Joe Biden’s demise. That was the point in time when Joe was revealed for what he is, an incompetent man who should never have been President. Joe Biden is not fit to serve – He is destroying our Country!”
Campaign Team’s Response
In a statement responding to Biden’s withdrawal, Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita and campaign chief Susie Wiles criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden endorsed as the Democratic nominee:
“She will be even WORSE for the people of our Nation than Joe Biden. They own each other’s records, and there is no distance between the two.”
Implications for the Election
Biden’s withdrawal and endorsement of Harris have created a significant shift in the campaign dynamics. Republicans, who were prepared to run against Biden, must now pivot to focus on Harris. This unexpected change transforms what was expected to be a repeat of the Trump-Biden matchup into a fresh and potentially more dynamic race.
The upcoming election, now featuring the 78-year-old Trump against a younger opponent, promises to be one of the most compelling presidential campaigns in modern American politics. This dramatic shift has both parties scrambling to adjust their strategies and messaging as they prepare for what is sure to be a heated and closely watched race.
