Joe Biden barely has a leg to stand on. Donald Trump is kicking that right out from under him.
And Trump blindsided Joe Biden with one major announcement.
Joe Biden has an uphill battle in his fight to win a second term as president.
Under his watch, inflation has soared to record heights, the US is closer to nuclear war than ever before, and millions of illegal immigrants pour over the border every year.
Biden can hardly point out any policy wins let alone hide from his disastrous failures.
And former President Trump is not going to let him live it down.
Trump claimed Thursday in New Hampshire that he is “retiring” the label “Crooked Joe Biden” from twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“This is going to be a major announcement. Are you ready? Is everybody ready?” Trump posed a question to the Granite Staters who packed the venue:
TRUMP: “I will be retiring the name ‘Crooked’ from Hillary Clinton.. so we can use the name for Joe Biden — he’ll be known from now on as ‘Crooked Joe Biden’.. because there’s never been anyone in the history of American politics so crooked or dishonest.” pic.twitter.com/2hDNCHb5ye

After a round of applause, Trump said:
I will be retiring the name “Crooked” from Hillary Clinton and her moniker, and I’m going to give her a new name like, I don’t know, like maybe “Lovely Hillary” or “Beautiful Hillary.” But I’m going to retire the name “Crooked” so that we can use the name for Joe Biden because from now on he’ll be known from now on as “Crooked Joe Biden.”
You would think Hillary would be very happy today. She’s out there someplace celebrating because there’s never been anyone in the history of American politics so crooked and dishonest as Joe Biden, and the press absolutely refuses to report it, all that press back there, because, frankly, they’re just as crooked as he is, and they are:
Trump mocks Biden getting lost on stage.
This man is hilarious 🤣

His remarks come on the heels of a Harvard-Harris study that found the majority of respondents believe the Biden family got millions of dollars from Chinese government sources.
Trump also blasted Biden for his “pre-packaged” campaign announcement video that “took supposedly seven takes to get it right – if ‘right’ is what you want to call it.”
While outlining aspects of his policy platform, the 45th president pledged as president-elect to end the war between Russia and Ukraine:
“Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled,” he pledged, later adding, “I am the only candidate who can make this promise: I will prevent World Ward III, I promise.”

He questioned Biden’s handling of the conflict, claiming that he fails to strike the appropriate tone in each particular situation.
“He’s too tough when he should be soft. He’s too soft when he should be tough,” Trump said. He says things that are so bad – provokes and then shows weakness. It’s the craziest thing.”
Furthermore, Trump claimed that the number of war casualties is higher than what has been reported.
Following the event, Trump met with supporters outside of the venue and signed their “hats, shirts,” and more, the Daily Caller’s Henry Rodgers noted:
