PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump exclusively told Breitbart News several years ago that when he was a U.S. senator, current President Joe Biden was respected by his then-senator. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and his colleagues are the “stupidest” people in the U.S. Senate.
Trump described how Biden is a “very bad guy” surrounded by “bad people,” but also said Biden is “not smart at all.”
“I ran against him. I got a lot more votes than I did the first time. I feel like I know him very well,” President Trump said at Mar-a-Lago just before the new year. spoke to Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that lasted more than two hours. “When you make a deal, you often get to know a person better while doing the deal than by being with them all the time. There are evil people around him, radical leftists, And there are people who are ultimately going to destroy him. They are not going to give him any respite. They are going to do whatever it takes to weaponize the Department of Justice and the FBI, and all of that is going to ultimately destroy him. could come back to hurt Joe and them and everyone else. There's a level of malice that's invisible. Joe Biden is a very vicious man. He's not a smart man, Not smart at all. All you have to do is look at his educational background. But he's a very vicious guy.”
Trump also said Biden was able to trick Americans into believing “this 'good guy' image” when he was actually “violent,” and Trump said the late Kennedy's story undermined that. he said.
“He has this image of being a 'nice guy,' because the Ted Kennedy I knew well was from Palm Beach, a wealthy family, and he had a house a mile away on the ocean,” Trump said. Told. “I was very friendly with him for a variety of reasons. I said to Ted Kennedy, 'Who's the smartest guy in the Senate?' He gave me a name, which I won't tell you because I can't stand the guy, but it was true that he was a smart guy. Then I said, “Who's the stupidest?” He said, “Maybe Joe.” I said, “Who's Joe?” He said, “Joe Biden.” I said, “Why is he the stupidest?” “That's because he doesn't understand the concepts, he doesn't understand the policy, and he doesn't understand complex things like taxes and various other things,” he said. But he said, “He is good, energetic, and full of good will.” Sure, when it comes to smiling, there may be friendliness in it, but it's not friendliness. Ted Kennedy said he was the stupidest man in the Senate, and now he's president. ”
Kennedy died early in former President Barack Obama's first term (Biden was Obama's vice president), but he served in the Senate alongside Biden for decades. Kennedy served as a senator from Massachusetts from November 1962 until his death in August 2009. Biden served as a senator from Delaware from January 1973 until he became vice president in January 2009.
Trump said the Kennedy family owned a mansion in Palm Beach for many years, and that John F. Kennedy called it the “Winter White House” when he worked in Palm Beach during vacations as president of the United States. 's point is correct.kennedy family sold The property was then owned during President Trump's tenure. President Trump has often worked here at Mar-a-Lago during the winter months of his presidential term, and like Ted Kennedy's brother JFK, has dubbed his resort his “Winter White House.” It was also called the “White House of the South.”
Later in the interview, Trump accused Biden of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome.” The term has become a term used to describe people who are obsessed with Trump in an unhealthy way.
“I think he has Trump Derangement Syndrome. I think he has the biggest case,” Trump said of Biden on Breitbart News.
President Trump has also absurdly claimed that a Trump victory would be a move towards authoritarianism as hard-line leftists take desperate steps to weaponize the government against him and cling to power. said. President Trump said he doesn't believe they care about this country and in fact believes they secretly hate America.
“I think they just want to stay in power,” Trump said. “I don't think they care about the country. In many ways, they hate the country. 1500 Who can love this country when we're letting in 10,000,000 people? By the end of his term, we'll have let 15 million people in. Who can love this country? I think they hate this country in their hearts. They may not even be able to express it.”
Asked who he meant by “they,” Trump said he meant the people who are steering Biden toward radical policies, who he believes are also stupid. .
Asked to define “them,” Trump said, “A group of radical leftist fanatics who are running the country for Biden, who are using him, but I don't think they are.” “I think it's an empty shell,” he said, adding that Biden is simply a “vehicle” for these radical leftists to take control. he.
“He turned out to be a vehicle and a great person for them,” Trump said. “No one wanted him because he couldn't speak and couldn't speak three years ago. He couldn't even speak in debates. In the last debate, he gave all He poured out his energy. Actually, he said he didn't want to do energy work. I said it was a Perry Mason moment. But in the end, the press didn't cover it. The press… In many ways, it's dishonest not in what it says, but in what it doesn't say. It's almost getting worse.”
President Trump pointed out that the weaponization of law enforcement against him and other left-wing political opponents is an entirely new step into the Third World.
“I think their weaponization and hunting down of political opponents is one of the biggest movements in politics in this country in 100 years,” Trump said. “That's never happened here. It happens pretty regularly in banana republics and third world countries.”
Trump also added that the leftists manipulating Biden are “unbridled lunatics.”
“Yes, I think they are unrestrained lunatics,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I believe they'll do whatever it takes, but we're going to win. We're going to win. For example, they indicted me four times, but the greatest criminal on the planet is He has not been charged four times.”
Details of President Trump's latest interview with Breitbart News will be released in the future.
