Trump hurls foul-mouthed insults at Joe Biden calling president ‘pile of c**p’
Trump, 78, was pictured in golfing attire as he breezed around the course, carelessly boasting his expletive-filled rant
Donald Trump was filmed hurling profanity-filled insults at Joe Biden from his golf cart on Wednesday – before going on to make a savage dig at VP Kamala Harris.
Trump, 78, was pictured in golfing attire as he breezed around the course, carelessly boasting his expletive-filled rant in which he asks: “How did I do with the debate the other night? I kicked that old, broken down pile of c**p. He’s quitting the race” – something Democrats have denied this week.
He went on to claim Harris would replace Biden as the Democrat nominee, calling her, “so f****g bad” – going on to call her “pathetic”. The video appeared to show Barron Trump sat alongside Trump in the golf cart.

Meanwhile, In a call with campaign staff on Wednesday, President Joe Biden reportedly told his staff, “No one is pushing me out.”
The bold, defiant claim comes amid rumors that high-ranking members of his own party are attempting to have him replaced as the nominee for the presidency as he runs for reelection this November.
The campaign aide, who spoke to The Associated Press under the condition of anonymity, revealed the nature of the phone call as three other insiders told the news agency that both the president and Vice President Kamala Harris made surprise appearances on another phone call the same day with the Democratic National Committee.
“I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out,” the top aide said, posting the comments on X. The other officials revealed that the later call with the Democratic National Committee was a pep talk, and it stressed the stakes of the election as members of the committee implored Biden to adhere to his comments after the disastrous debate last Thursday in which he said he would get back up after he was brutally knocked down by his rival, former President and Republican Donald Trump.
The leaked quotes are just one of several efforts being made by the president and his top aides as they work damage control, attempting to cinch key allies who seemed to forsake him after his debate performance — which saw him freeze on stage at times as he spoke with a brittle, weak verbal cadence.

Reports indicate that Democrats have been largely unsatisfied with the explanations Biden and White House officials have given regarding his performance, which have included that he was sick at the time. The excuses have sparked a deep frustration among many Democrats, it was reported, who would have liked to have seen Biden handle many questions differently and much sooner about his lackluster performance.
Trump’s bravado comes after a new date has been set for his sentencing after the last one was postponed after the recent Supreme Court ruling that gave him absolute immunity for official actions taken while in office.
The new date is now less than two months before the November election that will see Trump pitted against President Joe Biden, also taking place after the Republican National Convention in a couple of weeks that will almost certainly see Trump nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for the presidency.
Sept. 18 is the new sentencing date, but Judge Juan Mechan specified that it would only remain the date “if such is still necessary” as lots of things are up in the air after the Supreme Court’s landmark 6-3 ruling on Monday.
