Donald Trump has capitalized on Jill Biden’s surprising revelation that she suspected Joe Biden of experiencing a ‘stroke’ during their infamous 2024 debate. Trump attributed his own ‘remarkable’ performance as the catalyst for what he described as his opponent’s ‘collapse.’
He criticized Jill Biden for not rushing to assist her husband during the debate, implying that a devoted wife would have intervened.
On Friday, Trump took to Truth Social to comment, “Jill Biden is finally acknowledging that she was unsure what happened to Sleepy Joe,” sarcastically noting that Biden’s performance fell short of high debate standards.
Jill Biden shared this admission in a recent interview to promote her new memoir. She revealed her initial fears that Joe was either having a ‘stroke’ or had been ‘drugged’ during the June 2024 debate, where he faced challenges in delivering coherent arguments.
Trump also expressed dissatisfaction that Jill did not acknowledge his strong performance amid her husband’s ‘near total collapse.’
He questioned, “As many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate simply cause him to ‘choke,’ leading to his defeat, or were there other factors at play?”
Trump concluded, ‘Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!’
Biden appeared frail and repeatedly lost his train of thought as he slurred his way through debate, a watershed moment that triggered Democratic allies to openly question his fitness for office. He dropped out of the race less than a month later.

The former first lady, 74, watched in horror as Joe Biden, 83, stumbled over his words, terrified that voters would conclude this was how he always was, she reveals in a bombshell new memoir.
‘Is this a stroke? I felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged?’ Jill writes in View From the East Wing.
She remembers thinking: ‘Oh God – will people watching assume this is how he is all the time?’
It wasn’t just his supporters who saw disaster: Joe himself admitted he’d suffered a primetime car crash in front of the voting public, Jill reveals.
As Biden walked off stage, he confessed to her: ‘I really f***ed up, didn’t I?’
‘”Yes, you did,” I whispered back,’ Jill writes.
The former first lady was one of Biden’s closest confidantes and a driving force behind his 2024 reelection bid.
She fiercely advocated for him to stay in the race after the debate and had a tense relationship with his ultimate successor for the Democratic candidacy, Kamala Harris.
Democrats are now turning on the former First Lady, accusing her of relitigating Biden’s disastrous 2024 campaign to sell books just as the party heads into November’s crucial midterm elections

‘You did such a great job, you answered every question, you knew all the facts,’ Jill told her husband on stage when they joined supporters after the debate.
But just weeks later, Biden was forced to abandon his re-election bid and endorse Harris for the nomination.

‘My reaction was basically: “Welcome to the club,”‘ one former Biden official said.
‘Every person across America and in your administration wondered the same thing, and instead of acknowledging that, we were told for days to ignore it — that it was just a bad night, just an anomaly.’
