President Trump late Saturday dismissed talk of a potential 2020 White House bid by Joe Biden, calling the former vice president “weak.”
Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro during an interview on "Justice with Judge Jeanine" that Biden "was always a 1 percenter.”
"He ran two or three times, he never got above 1 percent," Trump said.
"And then, [former President] Obama came along and took him off the trash heap, and he became a vice president, and now he's probably leading," he added.
Trump also said Biden is “weak,” adding that “we’ll see what happens with him.”
Trump also said he is "not worried" about the competition.
"So far, I love the competition, I love what I see."
Biden late last year said he believes he is the “most qualified” person to challenge Trump, fueling speculation he might mount a 2020 presidential bid.
“I'll be as straight with you as I can. I think I'm the most qualified person in the country to be president,” Biden said during a stop for his book tour in Missoula, Mont. “The issues that we face as a country today are the issues that have been in my wheelhouse, that I've worked on my whole life.”
“No one should run for the job unless they believe that they would be qualified doing the job. I've been doing this my whole adult life, and the issues that are the most consequential relating to the plight of the middle class and our foreign policy are things that I have — even my critics would acknowledge, I may not be right, but I know a great deal about it,” he added.
Biden said at the time that he would make a decision on a run in consultation with his family.
“I have two young grandchildren, my son left who love me and adore me and want me around. I want to be there to take care of them, so we've got to figure out whether or not this is something we can all do as a family,” he said. “We're going to make that decision in the next six weeks to two months, and that's the basis of the decision.”
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said earlier this month that Biden is the strongest potential 2020 candidate among Democrats because his "credibility" is the "secret ingredient" needed to beat Trump.
Hahahahaaaaaa. More popcorn!
As I said on the Bezos/Bozo thread: Shades of Harry Truman, but smarter.
Vas is das?
The ragpicker lifts you from the trash heap?
Doesn’t say much for either, but even less for the one who was “lifted”.
lmao...Biden better “girl his loins.”
Is there a word in English for being both shocked and highly amused at the same time? That’s how I feel after reading that latest tweet. Lol! I expect Uncle Joe to hit back in the next couple of days.
My guess is that Biden is the 2020 competition.
He’ll not be kind to the upstarts.
I think Biden will make a fine opponent for Trump in 2020. Dukakis revisited.
Biden was Obama’s anti-impeachment/anti-assassination shield.
Can’t wait til Trump reTweets those infamous pics of Gropin’ Joe with his tongue in tweeny girls ears
Little girl-grabber dirty old man Biden. Right.
On the stage in public neck-biter dirty old man Biden. Sure.
Racist Clarence Thomas-hater then-Senator Biden. Got it.
Piece of cake.
as ridiculous as it was, biden was obama’s adult supervision. honestly, we elected a guy president who’s primary resume entry was registering dead people to vote in cook county.
Everyone knows that 0bama picked Biden as assassination insurance.
The Dems have to please both their young communist idiots and their old Big Government union-type semi-socialists. Look out for a Biden-Beto ticket.
The DNC/news media will proclaim Biden as tower of judgment and experience (as an unproductive elderly lifetime government trough feeder and serial groper) and Beto brings new vision and Kennedy charisma (because he has no actual accomplishments).
Maybe Paul Ryan can be his running mate.
What a Maroon! go for it you dumbass.
Oh, behaaaave. :0)
Biden looks bad. Have you noticed how pasty he looks. Almost plastic and of course he is a 1% clown that never could get a delegate. He is their front runner. The others are cartoonist. They are going to get slaughtered.
