President Trump took to Instagram on Thursday to criticize the Biden administration’s dismissal of genuine videos showing President Biden’s mental breakdowns in public.
The controversy revolves around viral clips, including one of Biden being assisted offstage by Barack Obama after freezing up at a Democratic fundraiser.
Trump’s post referred to the administration’s claims that such videos were “cheap fakes” as any unedited evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline that they wish to conceal from the public.
Additionally, Trump highlighted Biden’s bewildered behavior at the G7 Summit and his accidental head-bump with Pope Francis during his trip to Europe last week.

During a press conference, DEI White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lashed out at conservative media outlets for circulating videos of Biden being pulled off the stage by his handler-in-chief, Barack Obama.
She described the unedited clips as “a cheap fake video done in bad faith.”
White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates defended Biden on Sunday in comments that attacked the New York Post and other conservative websites for their reporting on the incident.
“Fresh off being fact checked by at least 6 mainstream outlets for lying about @POTUS with cheap fakes, Rupert Murdoch’s sad little super pac, the New York Post, is back to disrespecting it’s readers & itself once again. Their ethical standards could deal with a little unfreezing,” he wrote.
“By pretending the President taking in an applauding crowd for a few seconds is somehow wrong, all they’re really admitting is – once again – is they can’t take on the leadership that’s fueling the strongest economic growth in the world & bringing violent crime to a 50 year low.”
After a series of embarrassing videos of Biden went viral, he will be taking a break and preparing for next week’s presidential debate hosted by CNN in Atlanta.
President Trump has requested that Biden undergo a drug test before the debate.
The White House has not confirmed or denied whether Joe Biden intends to use drugs to improve his performance.
