Trump issues first statement after Biden says he's dropping out

The former president opted against a unifying message with a Truth Social post ripping into Joe Biden's legacy.

By

Donald Trump on Sunday fired off a snide reaction to President Joe Biden’s historic decision to withdraw from the 2024 race, calling Biden the “worst president” in United States history.

Trump had called for national unity in the wake of an assassination attempt against him last weekend. But he quickly ditched that message by the time he accepted the GOP presidential nomination on Thursday at the Republican National Convention. His acceptance speech, which ran more than 90 minutes, was filled with insults and vitriol.

His Truth Social post about Biden’s withdrawal was no different.

“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was!” Trump wrote on his social media platform, adding: “We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump told NBC News in a brief phone interview on Sunday that if he’s elected in November, he will “fix what he [Biden] has done.”

“Joe Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States by far,” the former president told NBC News.

“He should never have been there in the first place,” Trump continued, “He should have stayed in his basement.”
