The Democratic Twitter commentator attacked Donald Trump’s age and mental state after Fox News dropped his rant about water pressure and consumption.
President Joe Biden’s campaign, allies and defenders called the moment “embarrassing” for Trump and claimed the former president was “senile.”
The 2024 race has largely boiled down to debate over which of the older men is best suited to stay in office for another four years. Trump and Biden camps are launching attacks on the way the other walks, talks and acts – claiming it indicates they are not mentally or physically fit for another term.
Trump and Biden will get a chance to test each other in their first head-to-head debate of the 2024 election cycle on Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia, hosted by CNN.
Whether Trump (78) or Biden (81) wins in November, both will set the record for the oldest person ever elected to the White House.
Donald Trump denounced Democratic environmental policies that lead to weaker water pressure during a tirade during his rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, June 22
Trump became the oldest president in American history in 2016 at the age of 70, and Biden improved on that record just four years later at the age of 78.
At a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump started ranting about how weak water pressure has become due to recent left-wing environmental regulations. This is a common statement he makes during his meetings about there being ‘no water in the taps’.
“BREAKING: In a terribly embarrassing moment for Trump, Fox News has to cut his speech short because it doesn’t make any coherent sense,” an account called Biden’s Wins on X posted.
They added: “It is not clear that Trump is senile. Retweet so all Americans see this.’
During the meeting, Trump started talking about the lack of water availability in home taps.
“You’re ever trying to buy a new house and you turn on – you want to wash your hair or you want to wash your hands – you turn on the water and it’s dripping, dripping. The soap, you can’t get it out of your hand. So you run it about ten times longer,” Trump complained.
“The worst part is your hair,” the former president continued. ‘I have beautiful, luscious hair and I put things on. I put it in, foam. I like a lot of foam because I like it to come out extremely dry because it seems a little thicker that way. And I’m lathering up and then you turn on this crazy shower and the thing is dripping, dripping and you say I’m going to be here for 45 minutes.”
Pro-Biden accounts erupted on social media after Fox News abruptly cut Trump’s rant, saying the comments were proof the former president is ‘senile’
He came up with a solution: rain.
‘There is so much water, you don’t know what to do with it. You know, it’s called rain,” Trump said. ‘It rains a lot in certain places.’
‘There is a problem. They don’t want you to have water. They don’t want water.’
At that point, Fox News had tuned into the rally and decided to withdraw.
“And you just listened to former President Trump and we’re going to talk about some of the things he discussed there. We’ll be right back,” the Fox host said.
Biden’s re-election campaign also posted a clip of the moment, saying, “Fox News cuts away from Trump in the middle of his unintelligible, confused rant about washing machines.”
