During Wednesday night’s Hannity special, Fox News host Sean Hannity sat down with former President Donald Trump to discuss a wide range of topics, including President Biden’s cognitive decline.
“In one way, it’s not something for me to talk about. I can tell you this: President Xi of China, Putin, Kim Jong Un — all of these leaders are at the top of their game mentally. And they’re dealing with someone who is not at the top of his game. Honestly, he never was,” Trump told Hannity.
“He was never the brightest bulb.”
“You look at his foreign policy over the years, it was always wrong. You look at his crime bill in the 1990s and how horrible that was to certain groups of people.”
“He was never great at what he did.”
Watch Trump’s comments above.
Trump’s comments come in the wake of the bombshell Wall Street Journal report titled Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.
From The Wall Street Journal:
The 81-year-old Biden is the oldest person to hold the presidency. His age and cognitive fitness have become major issues in his campaign for a second term, both in the minds of voters and in attacks on him by Republicans. The White House and top aides said he remains a sharp and vigorous leader.
Some who have worked with him, however, including Democrats and some who have known him back to his time as vice president, described a president who appears slower now, someone who has both good moments and bad ones.
For much of his career, Biden enjoyed a reputation on Capitol Hill for being a master negotiator of legislative deals, known for his detailed knowledge of issues and insights into the other side’s motivations and needs—and for hitting his stride when the pressure was on. Over the past year, though, with Republicans in control of the House, that reputation has diminished.
The WSJ article outlines several events and interactions where Biden appeared to be slipping cognitively, including a meeting about Ukraine on January 17th.
“You couldn’t be there and not feel uncomfortable,” said one person who attended. “I’ll just say that.”
“What you see on TV is what you get,” said Sen. James E. Risch, an Idaho Republican, who attended the meeting but shared only his general impression of meetings with Biden. “These people who keep talking about what a dynamo he is behind closed doors—they need to get him out from behind closed doors, because I didn’t see it.”
