Exclusive US Coverage and Analysis: Trump Hits Out at Biden for Freezing Mid-Speech
Former President Donald Trump has found himself in the spotlight once again, this time for his response to Joe Biden’s apparent freeze during a speech at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting. Trump, known for his outspoken nature, took to social media to address the incident, claiming it was a “made up Biden campaign story.”
During his speech in Dallas, Trump was encouraging Texans to cast their votes ahead of the presidential election when he fell silent for more than 30 seconds. Biden’s supporters were quick to attack Trump, questioning his mental competency. However, Trump defended himself, stating that the silence was a standard part of his speeches.
In addition to the freeze, Trump also faced criticism for clinging to a wobbling podium on stage. Biden’s campaign team suggested that Trump lost his footing due to leaning on the podium too hard. Trump, on the other hand, claimed that he prevented the podium from falling due to his reflexes and strength, which he believes Biden lacks.
Despite the criticism, Trump continued his speech, praising Texans and their Wild West heritage. He emphasized the spirit of independence and resilience that defines the state, before taking another pause that raised eyebrows.
As the political drama unfolds, Trump remains defiant, using the incident to take jabs at President Biden. The back-and-forth between the two political figures continues to captivate audiences and spark debate over their respective leadership styles and abilities.
