Former President Donald Trump is suggesting his successor could not define the acronym of his signature campaign slogan.
President Joe Biden has used the phrase MAGA in a variety of epithets such as “MAGA Republicans” or “Ultra MAGA.”
But during an interview with Fox Business, Trump pondered whether Biden actually knows what the phrase means.
“He doesn’t understand what MAGA means,” Trump said.
Watch the video below:
“[Biden] doesn’t understand what MAGA means. If you asked him right now to define MAGA, or to say what MAGA is, he would not be able to say ‘Make America Great Again.’”

He continued, “If you asked him right now to define MAGA, or to say what MAGA is, he would not be able to say ‘Make America Great Again.’ He’s always saying ‘Those MAGA people.’ But if you were to say, ‘What does MAGA stand for?’ He wouldn’t know, he wouldn’t be able to tell you that.”
“And right now, again, you have to use it, because we don’t have a great country. We have a country that’s a laughingstock all over the world. We have a president who can’t properly represent us. He goes to meetings in foreign countries and he makes a fool out of himself, he’s a fool,” Trump added.
During an event in May 2022, Biden claimed, “This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in American history.”
And in a Sept. 2022 speech, he insisted, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
Additionally, Biden claimed that “MAGA Republicans” do not “respect the Constitution.”
“They do not believe in the rule of the law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election,” he added.
