Donald Trump has ignored his indictment scandal and posted a video mocking Joe Biden’s recent fall as he attempts to bring focus to his 2024 presidential campaign.
The former Apprentice host was indicted on federal charges this week including obstruction and a violation of the Espionage Act over the classified documents he took to his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House.
He has been hit with 37 counts by the Department of Justice and has made him the first former president to face federal charges.
But Trump, who is yet to speak publicly about the indictment, took to his platform on Truth Social to make fun of President Biden’s recent fall during a graduation ceremony on June 1.
He posted a video of himself striking a golf ball which was edited to hit Biden at the exact moment the octogenarian president fell over on stage at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.

Trump shared the clip with his 5.8 million followers on Truth Social and it was liked more than 10,000 times.
It shows him striking a ball on the golf course before it pans to Biden on stage. In the edit, it hits him on the back of the head and sends him tumbling.
He captioned the video ‘Fore,’ which is a golf term used to warn those standing near the flight of a golf ball.
Biden, 80, laughed off the embarrassing fall at the United States Air Force Academy and joked ‘I got sandbagged,’ before insisting he was okay.
His latest stumble marks the fourth time he has fallen in public since taking office in January 2021.
It comes just weeks after he lost his balance while visiting the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, Japan.
During that event, there was railing available on some stairs the president had to navigate down.
He ignored the railing and stumbled, restoring his balance while walking downward. Biden also stumbled while boarding Air Force One in March on a trip to Selma, Alabama.
Biden fell up the stairs while boarding Air Force One in 2021 and toppled over on his bike near his Delaware beach house last June. He was not harmed in any of the incidents.

The 49-page indictment against Trump was unsealed on Friday and accuses him of mishandling classified documents after leaving office in 2021, as well as obstruction of justice.
It contains 37 counts pertaining to those charges, as well as photographs showing mounds of document-filled boxes were illegally stored at his Florida estate for the better part of a year.
Trump raged at the ‘corrupt Biden Administration’ and accused them of election interference in a video posted minutes after news of the indictment from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
He said he would ‘of course’ plead not guilty to the charges – including conspiracy and classified documents retention – when he appears in a Miami court on Tuesday afternoon in his second arraignment in three months.
If convicted of the shopping list of allegations, he could face a maximum of 100 years in prison.
It is the second set of charges leveled at Trump this year, plunging the country into fresh legal and political uncertainty as he campaigns to return to office and after his defeat to President Joe Biden in 2020.
It means the leading candidate in the Republican primary will have to split his time between the courtroom and the campaign trail as he tries to seal the GOP nomination.
Trump has been indicted on charges of possession of the classified documents and obstruction.
Additionally, Trump was charged with willfully retaining national defense secrets in violation of the Espionage Act, making false statements and an obstruction of justice conspiracy.

A photo of documents seized during the August 8 search of Mar-a-Lago was published by the Justice Department
It claims he stored the documents – 184 of which contained classified information in a ballroom and bathroom at his resort, among other places
Prosecutors have investigated the transfer of presidential files to his Mar-a-Lago Florida estate since last year.
Trump is set to make his first public appearances since being handed his bombshell indictment in Georgia and North Carolina on Saturday.
He is set to speak to Republican audiences and will likely try to rally support after vowing to fight the federal charges.
The indictment comes after a jury in a civil court on May 9 found that Trump sexually abused advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996.
They found he defamed her when he called her a liar and he was ordered to pay a total of $5million in damages.
