Former President Donald Trump hit back at President Joe Biden at a rally in Iowa on Friday afternoon, mocking the president for “stuttering” through a speech in which he warned Americans of the dangers of a second Trump term.
Trump called out Biden for hosting a “pathetic fear-mongering campaign event,” which the president did to mark the approaching anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
In his speech in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Biden called Trump “sick” and a “loser” and said “we almost lost America” three years earlier.
'Did you see H im? He stuttered through the whole thing,” Trump said in response. “He goes bah bah bah, he's a threat to democracy. They have armed the government. He says I'm a threat to democracy.'
“He's a threat to dd democracy,” Trump continued, pretending to stutter. “He couldn't read the word.”

President Joe Biden appeared in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on Friday and warned Americans of the dangers represented by former President Donald Trump, calling the Republican “sick” and a “loser.”
The ex-president also preemptively lashed out at reporters in the room, suggesting they would misinterpret his statements.
“Do you know how bad the press is?” Trump asked. 'Do you know what they do? They assume that's what I'm saying, and they say, “Trump couldn't say the word democracy – look!”
During his hour-and-45-minute appearance in Sioux Center, Iowa — his first of two consecutive Friday evening rallies — Trump also denounced New York Attorney General Letitia James' updated total that she wants the ex-president to pay in his civil lawsuit. .
New York's Democratic attorney general asked the judge in the case on Friday to order Trump to pay $370 million – up from $250 million – that she said he earned due to illegal conduct.
“So if you don't mind, I was a little angry when I walked in.” Did you notice the anger? Maybe not. But the corrupt AG wants $370 million in compensation for what I did and I did nothing wrong. Nothing,” Trump said. “This is weaponry at a level no one has ever seen.”
The ex-president also spoke about the Supreme Court's decision to hear the Colorado Supreme Court case in which a Democratic-leaning panel pushed him off the 2024 ballot over the 14th Amendment's “insurrection” clause.
Trump suggested he feared the Supreme Court could actually rule against him, as experts have insisted he “owns” the Supreme Court since he has appointed three current justices.
“If they rule in his favor, it will be terrible for them and we will protest at their homes,” Trump said, quoting an expert on “DeFace the Nation.”
“And that puts pressure on people to do the wrong thing,” Trump said.
“I just hope we get fair treatment because if we don't, our country is in big, big trouble,” the ex-president added.
Trump also acknowledged Thursday's school shooting in Iowa at the top of his remarks about the Sioux Center.
“Before I continue, I would like to express our support and deepest condolences to the victims and families affected by the horrific school shooting in Perry, Iowa,” he said. “To the entire community: We love you, we pray for you and we ask God to heal and comfort the entire state of pain. The pain you're in is just something that's very unique to your state.”
He said he was with the families and victims “as much as anyone can.”
“So surprising to see it here,” he added. “But we have to get over it, we have to move forward.”
