President Trump on Tuesday lashed out at Joe Biden in response to the 2020 contender’s plans to call the president an “existential threat” to the country ahead of both politicians’ trip to Iowa.

Trump appeared to stoke speculation about Biden’s health and age, saying the former vice president is a “different guy” and “slower than he used to be.”

He also said Biden would be the “weakest” opponent he could face in 2020, dismissing reports that he fears Biden the most. He also labeled Biden “one percent Joe.”

“He’s failing,” trump said of Biden, pointing to polls showing his Democratic rivals gaining on him.

He also knocked Biden’s previous presidential runs, saying “Joe never got more than one percent” but former President Barack Obama “took him off the trash heap” when he picked him as his running mate in 2008.

1. Amazing how Trump still accuses someone else of being exactly the way that he himself is.

The first time I heard Trump accuse someone else of being disgusting, it was obvious that he was describing himself.

2. from "Fool On The Hill"

"Well on the way, his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make"

Another day of oral diarrhea from no one's favorite president.

3. I'm enjoying his fear of Biden.

4. Hate to be a spoil sport, but he does seem slower than he used to be.

I noticed it over a year ago, so it's not because of Trump. Meanwhile, Trump looks energetic because he snorts Adderall.

Biden didn't react well.to rumors about his health. He got angry, showing it's a soft spot. Which is why Trump is following up today.

Biden has to turn it into a joke or show he doesn't care, even if, or especially if, it's true.

7. I liked Biden's speech today

but unfortunately he did look more un-energetic than I've ever seen him. He was stumbling quite a bit with the words at first. Maybe he just wasn't feeling his best today because he was way more energetic in his kickoff speech in Philly.

5. Biden is speaking now. Thoughtfully. Intelligently.

45 has, sadly, conditioned people to think bluster is strength. Ageism has its part. The fear of aging makes us value things that falsely reassure us. I am enjoying this speech. It’s not a series of applause lines. It’s actually talking to people with care.

6. Coming from the guy who can't remember what he said

20 minutes earlier , and has to hide his health records for fear people will know the truth about his health.
