Former President Donald Trump did not hold back on his thoughts about President Joe Biden.
The Daily Beast obtained a video from a source showing Trump in a golf cart with his son, reacting to the first 2024 presidential debate.
The former president said “We kicked that old, broken down pile of crap,” before calling Biden a “bad guy.”
“He just quit, you know—he’s quitting the race,” Trump continued. “I got him out of the—and that means we have Kamala.”
He also took shots at Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump then added, “Can you imagine that guy dealing with Putin? And the president of China—who’s a fierce person. He’s a fierce man, very tough guy. And they see him.”
“But they just announced he’s probably quitting. Just keep knocking him out, huh?” he said.
Per the outlet, it is unclear when or where the video was taken.
A White House spokesperson directed The Daily Beast to Biden’s campaign statement issued on Wednesday night, “No, Donald. What is bad is taking away women’s rights, what is bad is losing an election and encouraging a violent mob to attack the Capitol, what is bad is assaulting women, what is bad is not paying your taxes, what is bad is rooting for our economy to fail…” The statement went on to criticize Trump.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during Wednesday’s press briefing if Biden was considering stepping out of the race, to which she said, “Absolutely not.”
The White House and Biden campaign responded to a report by The New York Times on Wednesday that claimed Biden has “told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “That claim is absolutely false. If the New York Times had provided us with more than 7 minutes to comment we would have told them so.”
