The aftermath of the first presidential debate has been disastrous for Democrats, with the party essentially divided between those who want to circle the wagons around the incoherent 81-year-old incumbent and those who want to find a last-minute replacement to take on Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Republicans are generally stopping just short of celebrating the party’s apparent downfall. But Trump himself offered a candid take in a video that has gone viral online this week.
As the Daily Wire reported:
In a video obtained by The Daily Beast that was published on Wednesday, Trump referring to his debate performance against Biden said that he “kicked that old, broken down pile of crap” and said that Biden is “quitting the race.”
“I got him out of the — and that means we have Kamala,” he said. “I think she’s going to be better — she’s so bad. She’s so pathetic. She’s so f***ing bad.”
Trump then highlighted how America’s enemies see the feeble 81-year-old president.
“Can you imagine that guy dealing with Putin?” Trump asked. “And the president of China — who’s a fierce person. He’s a fierce man, very tough guy. And they see him.”
His unvarnished remarks were widely celebrated by Biden critics on social media:

And the Trump campaign released an official statement on the current chaos surrounding Biden and the 2024 election.
According to the New York Post:
When reached for comment, the Trump campaign referred The Post to an earlier statement on “Total Collapse of the Democrat Party.”
“Every Democrat who is calling on Crooked Joe Biden to quit was once a supporter of Biden and his failed policies that lead to extreme inflation, an open border, and chaos at home and abroad,” Trump campaign officials Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in the missive.
“Make no mistake that Democrats, the mainstream media, and the swamp colluded to hide the truth from the American public – Joe Biden is weak, failed, dishonest, and not fit for the White House,” they added. “Every one of them has lied about Joe Biden’s cognitive state and supported his disastrous policies over the past four years, especially Cackling Copilot Kamala Harris.
“President Trump will beat any Democrat on November 5th because he has a proven record and an agenda to Make America Great Again,” the statement concludes.
