President Trump shared a contentious message on his Truth Social platform, partially defending Joe Biden by suggesting that “treasonous thugs” were the ones truly undermining the country during Biden’s term in office.

Trump’s remarks come amidst a growing body of evidence suggesting Biden showed signs of cognitive decline starting in 2015, fueling speculation that his recent advanced-stage cancer diagnosis may have been concealed from the public for a while.

The President asserts that the Joe Biden he once knew, before transforming into an enthusiastic advocate for open borders, would not have allowed unrestricted access for criminal illegal immigrants into the U.S.

“Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will,” Trump wrote. “It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now.”
