Trump blasts Biden as ‘total moron’ before crowd of 100K at NJ rally: ‘Whole world is laughing at him’
WILDWOOD, NJ — Donald Trump recited all his greatest hits at a massive Saturday evening rally in Wildwood, NJ — but managed to avoid violating his court-imposed gag order by focusing on President Biden, whom he called a “total moron” and blamed for his web of legal troubles.
Trump — wearing his typical blue suit, blood-red tie and “Make America Great Again” cap — railed about inflation, offshore windmills, electric cars, the press and Chris Christie.
But unsurprisingly, it was Biden who drew his most intense vitriol.
“You could take the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country, and add them up .. and they haven’t done the damage to our country that this total moron has done,” Trump, 77, said to a cheering crowd of tens of thousands.
“He’s a fool, he’s not a smart man. He never was,” Trump said.
“He was considered stupid. I talk about him differently now because now, the gloves are off. He’s a bad guy … he’s the worst president ever, of any country. The whole world is laughing at him, he’s a fool.”
The former president also alluded to his own plethora of indictments, which allege he committed a variety of crimes before, during and after the 2016 and 2020 elections.
He blamed Biden, 81, for his legal troubles, saying, “You don’t do that to your opponents.
“It’s done in third-world countries, it’s done in banana republics, it’s not done in the United States of America.”
The crowd — which Wildwood officials estimated was between 80,000 and 100,000, a record for a Garden State political rally — cheered wildly throughout the long, but controlled speech.
They went wild when Trump implied Chris Christie was a “fat pig,” chanted “bulls–t” when he talked about his indictments and booed loudly when he brought up the Biden administration’s decision to withhold an ammo shipment from Israel as it continues its war with Hamas in Gaza.
“Shocking to hear that!” Trump said, as the crowd cried out in agreement.
He also hit some local notes, including bringing out to the stage New York Giants great Lawrence Taylor.
He told the crowd that his administration oversaw the “greatest economy in the history of our country” — and that New Jersey would benefit heartily if he returned to office.
“If Joe Biden wins this election, the middle class loses, New Jersey loses,” Trump said.
“But if Trump wins, the middle class wins, the people of low income really start winning again, and you’re all going for the American Dream!” he continued. “New Jersey wins, Pennsylvania wins, America wins.”
He also alluded to his looming pick for vice president, and may have hinted at his eventual choice when he referenced North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum — who flew with Trump to the Jersey Shore rally and spoke briefly.
“Just get ready for something — just get ready!” Trump said.
