President Donald Trump took a shot at his White House predecessor in a new interview early Sunday morning, stating that he is “always available” for an interview “unlike Biden.”
Trump’s jab at former President Joe Biden was made on the same day Trump’s comprehensive health report was released, which found that the current president “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health” and can fully perform the duties of president. When speaking to reporters, Trump acknowledged how late it was and how the current time was “like, 2 in the morning.”
“I’m always available, unlike Biden,” Trump stated. “Think Biden would do an interview at 2 in the morning? He wouldn’t do one at 9 in the morning.”

The president was also asked about his recent attendance at Ultimate Fighting Championship 314, where he was greeted by massive applause by attendees chanting “U.S.A.” during a walkout with UFC President Dana White. Trump stated he thought the fight was “great,” as were all the “seriously tough” fighters competing.

Trump poking fun at Biden comes as many have scrutinized the former president’s age and ability to serve as president, which became a national talking point after the first presidential debate in June. Following this debate, Biden told a gathering of Democratic governors that he should get more sleep and work fewer hours, including cutting off any events that occurred after 8 p.m.

A month before leaving the White House, Biden took a visit to Angola to attend the Lobito Corridor Trans-Africa Summit, during which Biden appeared to fall asleep momentarily. He was also seen resting his face in one of his hands and closing his eyes for several seconds before opening them again.
A new book, Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History, included details into Biden’s first post-debate interview with George Stephanopoulos, who deemed the president’s appearance “heartbreaking up close.” The author, Chris Whipple, also described Biden’s appearance as “hoarse and semi-coherent” during the interview.
