However, Trump extended congratulations to Britt on her response, asserting that she provided a "great contrast" to an "angry" president.
Trump addressed various topics raised by Biden, here's a point-by-point rebuttal:
- Trump’s commentary was punctual and direct, begins with a torching the president for being 15 minutes late: “They are really late, very disrespectful to our country!” and observations of Congress members like Senators Mitt Romney and Joe Manchin: “Interesting that Romney and Manchin are sitting together, and nobody wants to talk to them. I think they’d make a great No Labels Team!”.
- He also took a jab at Representative Maxine Waters, saying, “Maxine Waters, very nice woman, even though she’s constantly saying she wants to beat up or kill people on the opposite side of the aisle. If I ever said that, they would call me an Insurrectionist, and all hell would break out!”
- On Ukraine: Biden's call to support Ukraine against Putin
“Putin only invaded Ukraine, because he has no respect for Biden. Would have never happened under the Trump Administration, and for four years it didn’t happen!” the 45th US president slammed.
- Regarding NATO: Biden slams Trump's remark that if NATO member will not pay the bills, he will allow Russia to attack it.
“No, I said NATO has to pay its bills, and if it doesn’t pay its bills, we are not going to protect you. The money came pouring in! Under other Presidents, NATO was broke,” Trump tried to clarify.
- On IVF: While Biden was vouching on behalf of IVF ruling, Trump slammed back: “IVF was just approved in Alabama, and the Republicans are totally in support of helping women. We are stronger on IVF than the Democrats!”
- Concerning Immigration: While addressing Laken Riley's case when Marjorie Taylor Greene launches a scathing attack on President, Biden opens up about his idea over the border bill.
But Trump obviously felt no joy in it. “His Border Bill is a Disaster, it would let at least 5,000 Migrants in a day, and that is one of the better aspects of it!”
- About the Economy, tax, and unemployment: Biden said he will charge a 21% tax from wealthy Americans and will make schooling and college cheaper than ever, so everyone will get work in the industry.
"Inflation under Biden is killing America!” Trump said.
- Trump’s policy critiques were interspersed with personal jabs at Biden, highlighting his cough also:“Don't shake people's hands going out — he keeps coughing into his right hand!” and demeanour:“He looks so angry when he’s talking, which is a trait of people who know they are ‘losing it.’ The anger and shouting is not helpful to bringing our Country back together!”.
- He also took aim at the media coverage, accusing C-SPAN of bias: “They only show the Democrats clapping! They rarely show the other side of the room — It’s called, the Republican side!”
Trump’s posts also included exclamations like “Trump derangement syndrome!”
