Former President Donald Trump reportedly expressed his desire to start calling President Joe Biden 'Retarded Joe Biden' after their June debate, as per a recent report by The Atlantic. Trump allegedly made these remarks to aides on his plane while en route to a campaign rally, referring to Biden as 'retarded' and stating his intention to use that term moving forward.
In response to the report, a Trump campaign spokesperson denied the claims, stating that such discussions never took place and labeling the allegations as 'materially false.'
This is not the first instance of Trump using derogatory language towards political opponents. The New York Times previously reported that Trump referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as 'retarded' while soliciting donations from top GOP donors for his campaign.
Throughout his political career, Trump has been known for employing offensive and disparaging language to attack rivals. He has frequently targeted Biden, referring to him as 'mentally impaired' during campaign rallies. Despite some GOP allies advising him to focus on policy issues and refrain from personal attacks, Trump has continued to use inflammatory language against his opponents.
