Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday, responding to President Joe Biden’s surprise decision to suspend his 2024 presidential campaign. Trump lashed out at Biden, claiming he was never fit to hold the office and only gained the position through “lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.”

Trump also criticized Biden’s handling of the border, stating that millions of people, including those from prisons, mental institutions, and with terrorist ties, have entered the country unchecked. He vowed that the damage caused by Biden’s presidency would be remedied quickly, reiterating his campaign’s slogan, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?

Not running for reelection would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

There is no middle ground.

Republican Senator JD Vance, the party’s vice presidential candidate, has joined the chorus of voices calling for Biden to resign. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has been preparing for a potential replacement candidate, arguing they are ready to take on any Democrat who may emerge as a replacement for Biden.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV
