Trump gives brutally candid assessment of Biden, Harris after debate disaster, leaked golf course video shows

Former President Donald Trump referred to President Biden as a “broken-down pile of crap” in a leaked video where the Republican White House hopeful suggests his 2024 opponent will soon drop out of the race

The video clip, obtained by the Daily Beast, shows the 78-year-old presumptive GOP presidential nominee sitting in a golf cart — with his son Barron Trump riding shotgun — as he critiques the 81-year-old president and offers his analysis on the state of the race

The footage starts with Trump — while holding a wad of cash — asking a group of individuals off camera, “How did I do with the debate the other night?” 

Warning: Graphic language

The crowd praised the former president’s performance before Trump went off on Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“We kicked that old, broken down pile of crap,” Trump told those gathered around his golf cart. 

“He’s a bad guy,” he added about Biden.

“He just quit, you know — he’s quitting the race,” Trump continued. “I got him out — and that means we have Kamala.”

“I think she’s going to be better,” the former president argued before launching his attack on the 59-year-old veep.  

“She’s so bad,” he said. “She’s so pathetic. She’s so f–king bad.”

Trump then turned his attention back to the president. 

“Can you imagine that guy dealing with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin? And the president of China — who’s a fierce person. He’s a fierce man, very tough guy,” the 45th president said of Xi Jinping. 

“They just announced he’s probably quitting. Just keep knocking him out, huh?” Trump said before zipping off. 

It’s unclear at which golf course the video was shot or when it was taken. 

When reached for comment, the Trump campaign referred The Post to an earlier statement on “Total Collapse of the Democrat Party.”  

“Every Democrat who is calling on Crooked Joe Biden to quit was once a supporter of Biden and his failed policies that lead to extreme inflation, an open border, and chaos at home and abroad,” Trump campaign officials Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in the missive.

“Make no mistake that Democrats, the mainstream media, and the swamp colluded to hide the truth from the American public – Joe Biden is weak, failed, dishonest, and not fit for the White House,” they added. “Every one of them has lied about Joe Biden’s cognitive state and supported his disastrous policies over the past four years, especially Cackling Copilot Kamala Harris.

“President Trump will beat any Democrat on November 5th because he has a proven record and an agenda to Make America Great Again,” the statement concludes. 

The Biden-Harris campaign fired back at the 45th president in an Independence Day statement.

“No, Donald,” began spokesperson Sarafina Chitika. “What is bad is taking away women’s rights, what is bad is losing an election and encouraging a violent mob to attack the Capitol, what is bad is assaulting women, what is bad is not paying your taxes, what is bad is rooting for our economy to fail, what is bad is telling people to inject bleach, what is bad is praising neo-Nazis, what is bad is separating families, what is bad is your jobs record – the worst in modern history, what is bad is committing 34 felonies, what is bad is cutting Social Security and Medicare, what is bad are your abortion bans, what is bad is calling for the termination of the Constitution, what is bad is wanting to making yourself a dictator on day one, what is bad is your constant lying, what is bad is your hair, what is bad is your golf game, what is bad is your bankruptcies, what is bad is selling out Americans to your rich donors, what is bad is denying climate change, what is bad is your Project 2025 agenda, and what is bad is running on a platform of your revenge and retribution ahead of the what is best for our country.”

“Thanks for letting us clear that up for you.”

Biden has vowed to stay in the race despite plummeting in the polls and facing calls from Democratic elected officials, donors and strategists to end his re-election bid in light of his brutal debate showing.
