In the wake of former President Donald Trump's impromptu press conference at his 40 Wall Street property, President Joe Biden's reelection team called the presumptive GOP presidential nominee "feeble, confused, and tired."
Trump praised the decision of a New York appeals court on Monday to drop his bond from more than $454 million to $175 million, even as he lashed out at Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
"It's a sad day in our country in many respects, but the good day is that the appellate division was fair," Trump told reporters during a 21-minute news conference. "It's a lot of money still, but the judge is corrupt."
The president's team pounced on the opportunity to attack Trump, who will likely square off against Biden in the November presidential election.
"Donald Trump is weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President," Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson James Singer said in a statement. "He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn't have."
"His campaign can't raise money, he is uninterested in campaigning outside his country club, and every time he opens his mouth, he pushes moderate and suburban voters away with his dangerous agenda," he continued. "America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump."
Last week, it was reported that Biden has been feeling anxious and angry in recent months about polling showing a drop in support in battleground states for his reelection bid.
Citing a lawmaker familiar with the matter, NBC News reported that Biden shouted and swore during a private meeting at the White House in January after being told that his poll numbers in Michigan and Georgia had plunged over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
