Former President Donald Trump said he doesn’t believe the 25th Amendment should be invoked against President Biden, warning it would be more “dangerous” to put Vice President Kamala Harris in office because she’s “real garbage” and “worse than he is.”
Trump slammed the vice president during a Thursday morning “Fox & Friends” appearance and said he didn’t think the 25th Amendment should be invoked as Biden will be out of office in a matter of months.
“I don’t think they should use the 25th Amendment. Not long to go, you know, we have four months now and then he’s got another month and a half,” Trump said before taking aim at Harris.
“I will say this, the world is in a very dangerous place. I think if [Biden] goes, [Kamala] then takes over and she’s worse than he is. I believe she’s a San Francisco radical. I believe she’s actually much worse and a way worse candidate than he is and she’s not doing very well,” he added.
When asked if America could survive if Harris were elected president Trump quickly responded “No” and slammed Harris for being “the most radical person we’ve probably had in office.”
The former president criticized Biden and Harris’ debate performance during the 2020 primary, saying, “I thought he was terrible but she was terrible. She was horrible.”
He then questioned how Biden could have picked Harris to be his running mate when he won the primary, saying she was the “meanest” person running and treated Biden terribly.
“She was the meanest person up there. She was meaner to [Biden] than anybody else. She accused him of being racist with the buses,” Trump added. “Not a very good debater and nasty, just nasty to him. And when he chose her I said ‘How do you do that?’ A person treats you so badly — he was treated so badly during the debates.”
Trump also responded to Harris suggesting that he was a “predator” in a a speech earlier this week.” I think it’s disgusting,” Trump replied, “and I get a kick out of one thing. They say, ‘Sir, be nice. You just got hit with a bullet. Maybe he’s changed. Be nice,’ and I’d love to be nice, but I’m dealing against real garbage when you hear that.”
Trump’s comments come days after he and his running mate, JD Vance, accused the Democratic Party of leading a “coup” against Biden — with the Ohio senator arguing that if Biden isn’t fit to run for president, he shouldn’t be able to serve the rest of his term.
“If they want to take him down because he’s mentally incapable of serving, invoke the 25th Amendment. You don’t get to sort of do this in the most politically beneficial way for Democrats,” Vance told “Primetime” host Jesse Watters in a clip that aired Monday. “If it’s an actual problem, they should take care of it the appropriate way.”
The interview, which aired Monday, was taped Saturday before news broke Sunday that Biden was withdrawing from the 2024 general election and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive new Democratic nominee.
