Former President Donald Trump said President Biden should ignore mounting calls for him to drop out of the race for the White House following his dismal debate performance.
Trump, 78, took to his Truth Social website on Saturday and sarcastically advised that Biden, 81, should plow forward with his campaign and dismiss the growing number of Democrats who wish to see another candidate take his place.
Biden “should ignore his many critics and move forward, with alacrity and strength, with his powerful and far reaching campaign,” he wrote.
“He should be sharp, precise, and energetic, just like he was in The Debate, in selling his policies …” Trump continued, before rambling off a list of Biden policies, such as “open borders,” “uncontrollable inflation” and “subservience to China.”

“Yes, Sleepy Joe should continue his campaign of American Destruction and, MAKE CHINA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump jabbed.

Biden’s abysmal showing at the first presidential debate with Trump on June 27 sounded the alarms among voters — and an increasing number of Democratic officials — who worry that Biden lacks the mental or physical abilities to win the election and lead for another four years.
What to know about the fallout from President Biden’s debate performance:
President Biden’s poor performance in the first 2024 presidential debate has left even some Democrats unsure of his fitness for office and future as the party’s candidate.
Former President Obama admitted that Biden had a “bad” debate, while his rival former President Trump suggested that he was in a “trance” and “choked.”
Biden told a crowd at a North Carolina rally the day after the debate that he doesn’t “debate as well as I used to” — but insisted that he can still “do this job.”
The New York Times editorial board called on the president to serve the country by dropping out of the race. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a similar editorial a day later.
Biden gathered with his family to assess the campaign’s future at Camp David, with his son Hunter reportedly pushing for him to stay in the race. Family members questioned if the president’s top advisors should be fired after the disastrous debate.
Legendary journalist Carl Bernstein revealed that sources close to Biden have witnessed as many as 20 episodes of cognitive decline in the past year.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first House Democrat to call on Biden to drop out.
On Saturday, Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig became the fifth sitting House Democrat to urge Biden to call to step aside in favor of a younger candidate.
The editorial boards of major newspapers like the New York Times, Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Boston Globe have also said Biden should give up the reins.

His stumbling interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopolous on Friday, his first since the debate, did not help change minds.

Biden adamantly dismissed any notions of dropping out and has declared he will remain in the race, insisting he is the best candidate to defeat Trump during the one-on-one interview.
He also refused to undergo an independent cognitive exam and release the results to the public to assure voters of his abilities, insisting he’s “good.”
Despite the recent campaign turmoil, Biden gained ground on Trump in key battleground states and trails by only 2%, a new poll shows.
