The attempted assassination of Donald Trump has honestly left the nation reeling, scared, furious and uncertain of what comes next.
Amid all of that chaos, it's quite comforting to know that President Joe Biden is still doing really, really badly at his re-election bid and continues to set himself up for a spectacular blowout loss in November:
President Biden held a 'tense' Zoom call with dozens of moderate Democrats that was 'even worse than the debate' โ less than an hour before the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, a new report says.
The 81-year-old president repeatedly lost his train of thought on the call and was dismissive of the Democrats' concerns about his 2024 re-election campaign following his train-wreck debate performance last month, Puck reported Wednesday, citing multiple sources.
Just brutal first-person accounts of the exchange here:
'The call was even worse than the debate. He was rambling; he'd start an answer then lose his train of thought, then would just say "whatever." He really couldn't complete an answer. I lost a ton of respect for him,' one person on the call said.
'The president was rambling, dismissive of concerns, unable or unprepared to present a campaign strategy,' added a second source, who is a member of Congress.
I know, I know, it's shocking. How could we go from this sterling debate master ...
... to "rambling" and "whatever" in just a few short weeks??
In one particularly testy exchange, sources recalled Biden ripping into Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) after the congressman had asked him about the importance of national security to voters.
'First of all, I think you're dead wrong on national security,' Biden told him, according to a recording of the call.
'You saw what happened recently in terms of the meeting we had with NATO. I put NATO together. Name me a foreign leader who thinks I'm not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me!' he continued.
'Tell me who did something that you've never done with your Bronze Star like my son.'
What an angry old man.
