Former President Donald Trump said Democrats are "the real threat to Democracy" after they "stole" the party's presidential nomination from President Joe Biden.
Trump, whom Biden and other Democrats have labeled a threat to democracy, took to Truth Social early Monday morning to comment further on the 81-year-old president's stunning announcement that he no longer will seek reelection.
Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democrats' new candidate, and she vowed to "earn and win" the nomination.
"The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can't win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris. They stole the race from Biden after he won it in the primaries — A First! These people are the real THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!" Trump posted early Monday morning on Truth Social.
Democrats had been in turmoil over Biden's status as the party's presumptive nominee since his disastrous debate performance against Trump on June 27 when he appeared lost and unintelligible at times.
Trump took a verbal shot at Biden's cognitive state among his latest posts.
"It's a new day and Joe Biden doesn't remember quitting the race yesterday! He is demanding his campaign schedule and arranging talks with Presidents Xi [Jinping] of China, and [Vladimir] Putin of Russia, concerning the possible start of World War 3. Biden is 'sharp, decisive, energetic, angry, and ready to go!'" Trump posted.
Shortly after Biden announced he was ending his campaign, Trump said "lies" and "fake news" helped elect a cognitively compromised person to be president.
"Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was!" Trump wrote in a quick-hitting reaction on Truth Social.
Trump on Sunday said he thinks Harris will be easier to defeat in November's election than Biden.
