'Late-stage dementia': Trump erupts on Truth Social over Joe Biden's MAGA takedown

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump bizarrely claimed that President Joe Biden's forceful rebuke of "MAGA Republicans" on Thursday was a threat to use military force. Biden, who recently described Trump's brand of right-wing ideology as "semi-fascism," delivered an impassioned takedown of Trump's wing of the Republican Party in a primetime speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Trump on his Twitter knockoff Truth Social suggested that Biden's speech with two Marines standing behind him was a threat to use military force. "If you look at the words and meaning of the awkward and angry Biden speech tonight, he threatened America, including with the possible use of military force," Trump wrote.
