Standing before the Detroit Economic Club on Tuesday, Donald Trump veered off script proudly, as he often does. Instead, he decided to revisit his favorite fallback and mock Joe Biden. But this time, it wasn’t his policies, record, or age. He mocked Biden’s coughing.
While rambling about teleprompters and his supposed rhetorical brilliance, Trump suddenly pivoted to Biden’s past speeches. He described them as short, and then, inevitably, acted them out. “You ever notice Joe would always cough before a speech?” Trump said, before imitating it like a 4th grader. He went, “State of the Union gets-” then groaned and coughed as if his spine got stuck in his throat.
