In 2020, Trump tried to make Sleepy Joe his nickname for Biden, but the former president has shifted and now thinks Biden is the mastermind behind his indictment.
Trump posted on Truth Social:
Insane Jack Smith, the crazy district attorney who the corrupt Joe Biden and his Thugs taped on me during the political campaign where Biden loses “BIG” (an absolute no, no!), just announced that he has been out for more than 9 million dollars, about this ongoing witch hunt. Biden’s special counsel spent next to nothing by comparison. Prosecution of misconduct for the purpose of election interference!
The PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT settles the FAKE charge filed against me by the Department of Injustice and the deranged Jack Smith. They never even mention this FACT and should be severely penalized for it and the REINFORCEMENT of law enforcement. I’ve been illegally FOLLOWED by highly corrupt DOJ & FBI Trump Hating Thugs!!!
Trump’s shift in perception about President Biden reflects the problem Republicans as a whole have had in trying to label the president. Republicans can’t decide if Biden is a senile old man who can barely function or if he’s a mastermind the Justice Department is using to bust Donald Trump.
Republicans had the same problem during former President Obama’s administration. Was Obama a huge threat to civilization through malevolent genius, or was he incompetent? Republicans never knew how to define Obama, so he sailed through two terms without scandal and left as one of the most esteemed in the country’s history.
Trump should link Biden to his indictment for trying to discredit it as politically motivated.
The former president’s reasoning falls into the water because Biden handily defeated him in 2020, and may do so again in 2024.
With no facts to back up his claims of innocence, Trump is relying on conspiracy theories that have created an entirely new identity for President Biden.
