‘Total moron’: Trump lambasts Biden, blames US president for his legal woes at rally in New Jersey

The former United States President Donald Trump lambasted his successor Joe Biden and called him a “total moron” during a rally at Wildwood, New Jersey. Meanwhile, Biden, on Saturday (May 11) called Trump “clearly unhinged” and said “something snapped” after the Republican lost the 2020 presidential elections.

‘Total moron’

In true Trump fashion, the former president lashed out during a recent campaign rally with an estimated 80,000-100,000 supporters in attendance on Saturday evening in New Jersey calling Biden the worst president.

“You could take the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country, and add them up... and they haven’t done the damage to our country that this total moron has done,” said the former president.

He added, “He’s a fool, he’s not a smart man. He never was.” He also promised the hordes of his supporters that he would win New Jersey, a deep blue state that hasn’t voted for a Republican for president since 1988.

In the 90-minute speech, Trump also gave the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg a new nickname – “Fat Alvin.” The Manhattan DA brought the 34-count indictment against the former president in New York for falsifying business records to cover the hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump, who has spent weeks sitting in the Manhattan court for his historic criminal trial, also blamed the US president for his many legal woes even though there is no evidence that the US president is involved in the case in any way.

“I am being forced to endure a Biden show trial, all done by Biden,” said Trump, adding that the trial is being carried out by “radical Democrat District Attorney…you know who he is? Fat Alvin, corrupt guy.”

Trump also went off-track and called fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, a “wonderful man” and claimed that his rallies drew bigger crowds than Bruce Springsteen concerts.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee who is grappling with four indictments also claimed that he has been “indicted more than the great Alphonse Capone,” a violent Prohibition-era mob boss from the city of Chicago.

‘Unhinged’

“It’s clear that…when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,” Biden told supporters at a private fundraiser Saturday, as quoted by CNN.

He added, “He’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he’s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what he’s telling people.”

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Biden said that the upcoming presidential election will be “close” and “we feel good about the state of the race.”
