Watch: Trump Roasts Biden After Joe Crashes During Answer - 'I Don't Think He Knows What He Said Either'

By Michael Austin June 27, 2024 at 7:33pm

The 2024 election cycle kicked into high gear Thursday night during the year’s first general election presidential debate.

President Joe Biden and former President Trump agreed to the debate, which left many on the right puzzled, arguing Trump may have more to lose than gain in a CNN-hosted debate where the rules are so obviously weighted in his opponent’s favor.

Well, within minutes of the debate, those concerns were put to rest.

Biden appeared sickly, confused and old. He also sounded hoarse, mumbled and repeatedly lost his train of thought.

And, in true Trump fashion, the presumptive Republican nominee was able to capitalize on Biden’s flubs in dramatic fashion.

There is perhaps no better example of this than the moment captured in the following video.

After Biden stumbled through an answer, Trump was given the floor.

Are you voting for Trump?

He didn’t let the moment go to waste.

“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said either,” Trump said.

The debate was filled with terrible gaffes and bad optics for Biden and his camp.

The president does not look well, to say the least.

For example, to start off the debate, Biden awkwardly shambled across the stage before quietly mumbling into the microphone.

Many viewers of the debate took to X to comment on the optics of Biden’s seeming health problems.

Who in their right mind can look at Trump & Biden next to each other and think “oh Biden would be better as president.” Biden is a walking corpse.

“Who in their right mind can look at Trump & Biden next to each other and think ‘oh Biden would be better as president.’ Biden is a walking corpse,” conservative commentator Liz Wheeler posted.

Keep in mind Joe Biden prepared (in seclusion) for more than 6 days for this debate and this is the result #Debates2024

I don’t know where Joe Biden’s mind is, but it’s not at this debate.

This is horrific for America.#Debates2024 pic.twitter.com/nPvFfTeShS

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
