A widely circulated video recently captured some robust criticism from President Donald Trump aimed at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Seated in the comfort of a golf cart, Trump faced his small audience, unknowingly on video, contending to give sincere insights on the Democratic leadership.
In his candid commentary, the former President outlined some unique impressions he had about Biden. Invoking a bit of humor, he pictured him as an ‘old, broken down pile of crap.’ Expanding further, he stated, ‘He’s a bad guy. Now, he has given up, he’s dropping the race’, underling his perception of Biden already conceding.
Moreover, he claimed responsibility for pushing Biden out of the race, saying, ‘Yeah, I evicted him from the race. This means we’re left with Kamala.’ Without skipping a beat, he shared his candid thoughts on Kamala as well, commenting, ‘I speculate she may surpass him. Unfortunately, she’s unremarkable. Indeed, she’s overwhelmingly devastating. She’s incredibly horrible.’
Amid talking about Harris, Trump redirected back to Biden and raised questions over his ability to handle international matters. He asserted, ‘Could we ever envision him interacting with Putin or the Chinese President, who is a formidable character? A truly fierce man.’
A poll conducted by Suffolk University/USA Today highlighted an interesting trend – nearly a third of voters became more inclined towards Trump post the first presidential debate. Moreover, the report suggested that Democrats might want to reconsider their choice for a nominee, with the majority advocating for Biden’s replacement.
Voter dissatisfaction with Biden was more pronounced than with Trump. Over half of the participants desired a change in the Republican nominee, while the displeasure with Biden seemed more palpable, particularly within Democratic circles. Around 40% of Democrats believe Biden should step down, in light of his debate performance.

Trump’s support base was comparatively firmer. Only a meager 14% of Republicans and 12% of Trump’s backers suggested the GOP find a different candidate. Moreover, the debate seemed to solidify Trump’s standing, with 31% of respondents stating his performance made them more likely to back him, according to the survey results.
Contrarily, Biden’s debate performance only managed to increase his voter appeal for around 10% of all voters. Apparently, 9% reported that the debate made them more inclined to side with a third-party contender. Critics of Biden expressed concerns about his cognitive ability, pinning labels such as ‘confused’ and ‘incoherent’ on his debate showing.
On the flip side, Trump’s supporters chose ‘coherent’ and ‘articulate’ as descriptors for his performance. ‘These results, taken within three days of the June 27 debate, underline the significant task facing the Biden campaign in its recovery and moving past this debate, amidst demands for the president’s withdrawal,’ noted David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
The survey also brought to light the fact that voters from both parties were five times as likely to consider Trump the debate victor. The former governor of South Carolina and potential 2024 GOP presidential challenger, Nikki Haley, delivered an admonition to her party following Biden’s grim debate nomination.
Predicting a strategic shift by the Democrats, Haley warned, ‘They will play it sagely, bring in someone younger, more vibrant, and tested.’ Following Biden’s underwhelming performance against Trump, she told The Wall Street Journal, ‘This is a time for Republicans to gear up and prepare for what lies ahead.’
She further predicted, ‘There is no chance for the Democratic Party to survive if they continue to present Joe Biden as their candidate.’ Leaning on Biden’s performance, she made a pointed statement: ‘Our adversaries have now realized they have a free run until Jan. 20 to proceed as they desire.’
Haley and Trump possess a history of tense rivalry during the primary season. However, she informed the WSJ that she approached the former president recently, whom duty once bound her to as a UN ambassador, and that they engaged in ‘a good conversation.’
In conclusion, Trump’s candid views on Biden and Harris reinforce the division between both party lines. The fierce loyalty of their respective supporters and the fervor of the debate are indicative of the high stakes and passion present in American politics.
The polling numbers from Suffolk University/USA Today and the comments from Nikki Haley reflect on the challenges and strategy shifts within the Democratic and Republican parties. The evolving political landscape continues to surprise with unexpected turns, and only time will tell which direction the tide will eventually turn.
