Coverage2011–2026

With 4,077 posts spanning 2011–2026, Biden is by far the most referenced individual in Trump's public output. The relationship evolves through five distinct phases. In the Obama years (2011–2016), Biden is a peripheral comic figure — gaffe-prone, weak, not a serious threat. In 2019, Biden transforms into the primary political target as his presidential candidacy and the Ukraine impeachment collide. In 2020, Trump runs the most sustained attack campaign of his career against Biden, hitting cognitive fitness, family corruption, radical-left co-optation, and election integrity simultaneously. From 2021–2024, Biden-as-president becomes the reference point for everything wrong with America: every domestic failure, foreign policy disaster, and legal prosecution of Trump is attributed to him. After Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 race, the attacks do not stop — Biden becomes the permanent scapegoat of the second term, responsible for inflation, the border, Ukraine, crime, and the 'autopen' constitutional crisis. Trump never stops attacking Biden even after Biden is no longer president, no longer a candidate, and no longer politically relevant. Biden has become a structural element of Trump's political identity rather than simply an opponent.

Phase 012011-2016
peripheral comic target

Biden as a bumbling, gaffe-prone vice president whose statements are both dangerous and ridiculous. He is used primarily as a proxy attack on Obama — if Biden is incompetent, the administration is incompetent. Not yet a serious political threat; more a useful rhetorical prop.

22 posts across six years — sparse but consistent in tone. The 2011 China trip, Taliban comments, and defense spending posts all use Biden as evidence of Obama administration incompetence. The 2012 VP debate posts are notably analytical — Trump watches Biden closely as a political performer ('Biden's sarcastic smiling may or may not be effective'). The 2015 condolence post on Beau Biden's death is the only genuinely sympathetic moment in the entire dataset. The 2016 'not very bright' and groping-history posts begin the more personal attack register that will dominate later years. The nickname 'Sleepy Joe' does not yet appear.

After2018-2019 (pre-impeachment)

The 2018 post responding to Biden's physical threat challenge marks the first time Trump treats Biden as a genuine rival requiring personal dominance signaling. By early 2019, 'Sleepy Joe' is established and Biden's verbal gaffes are amplified systematically. The May 2019 Ukraine-Burisma posts mark the critical shift: Biden is no longer just gaffe-prone and weak — he is corrupt. Trump begins building the corruption case that will anchor the impeachment and define the entire 2020 campaign.

Biden transitions from comic prop to active threat requiring personal humiliation. 'Crazy Joe', 'Sleepy Joe', and 'low IQ individual' all enter the vocabulary. The 2018 physical confrontation challenge ('would go down fast and hard') is a notable escalation in register. The Biden-Ukraine-Burisma corruption narrative begins in May 2019 as Biden announces his candidacy.

Trump's response to Biden's physical confrontation challenge ('would go down fast and hard, crying all the way') is the first post treating Biden as a serious personal threat requiring aggressive humiliation. The register shifts from mockery to physical dominance language.

Biden's April 2019 presidential announcement and the first Burisma posts transform him from a bumbling figure into the corrupt beneficiary of Democratic media protection. This adds a prosecutorial dimension to what was previously just mockery.

After2019 (Sep–Dec, impeachment)

116 posts in 2019, heavily concentrated in the Sep–Dec impeachment period. Biden is the central figure in Trump's impeachment defense: the call to Ukraine was about Biden's corruption, not a quid pro quo. Hunter Biden's Burisma payments, Joe Biden's prosecutor-firing ultimatum, and the Democrats' media protection of the family are repeated constantly. The 'Crooked Joe' framing begins to harden. This is also the period where Biden's cognitive fitness attacks ('tongue-tied', 'low IQ') intensify alongside the corruption narrative.

Biden's Ukraine corruption is the justification for the call with Zelensky and the primary counter-narrative against impeachment. 'Where is Hunter?' becomes a refrain. Biden is simultaneously the political opponent to be defeated and the corrupt official whose crimes the Democrats are protecting. The two functions — electoral attack and legal defense — become inseparable.

The Ukraine call and impeachment inquiry make Biden's corruption Trump's primary legal defense. The electoral and legal functions of the Biden attack merge into a single narrative: investigating Biden was a presidential duty, not election interference.

After2020 (Jan–Jun, primary season)

The primary season establishes the dual-attack template: Biden is both personally unfit (cognitive decline, gaffes, physical weakness) and ideologically captured by the radical left (defund police, fracking ban, open borders, tax hikes). The Hunter Biden corruption thread continues. Trump treats Biden's primary victory with a mixture of relief (easier than Bernie) and continued contempt. The 'Sleepy Joe' nickname appears in nearly every substantive post.

Biden as a mentally declining figure being pushed left by Sanders and the radical Democrats. 'Sleepy Joe' dominates. Gaffes ('150 million Americans shot') are amplified as evidence of unfitness. The Biden-Sanders 'unity manifesto' is characterized as extreme socialism. Biden is simultaneously too weak to govern and too dangerous in the hands of the radical left.

After2020 (Jul–Nov, general election)

The densest Biden period in the dataset. 874 posts in 2020, the majority in the general election months. Trump deploys every available attack simultaneously: crime ('no one safe'), economy (biggest tax hike in history), military (defund), abortion (late term), immigration (open borders), cognitive fitness, and family corruption. The 'Crooked Joe Biden' framing is consistent. Biden is framed as a vessel for radical forces rather than an autonomous actor — he 'has no choice, the Dems are controlling him'. Treasonous plot language ('Biden, Obama and Crooked Hillary led this treasonous plot') appears in October.

Biden as an existential threat to every American value — safety, economy, military, religion, suburbs, law enforcement, energy independence, constitutional order. 'No one will be SAFE in Joe Biden's America' becomes the anchor message. The corruption (Ukraine, China, Hunter) and cognitive decline attacks continue in parallel. The Obama-Biden era is retrospectively painted as the origin of every social disorder.

4 posts in 2021 (dataset gap), 248 in 2022. The return to public posting on Truth Social brings a sustained 'Biden is destroying America' narrative. Every economic indicator is weaponized: inflation at 11%, historic gas prices, OPEC humiliation. The Ukraine war is immediately attributed to Biden's weakness. The Mar-a-Lago raid (August 2022) adds a personal persecution dimension — Biden's DOJ using state power against a political opponent. The weaponization narrative will dominate 2023.

Every domestic and foreign policy failure is attributed to Biden personally. Inflation, gas prices, Ukraine war, Afghanistan, electric vehicle mandates, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and FBI weaponization all trace back to Biden. The 'would never have happened under Trump' counterfactual dominates. The DOJ is framed as Biden's personal prosecution arm. 2021 is nearly absent (4 posts — likely Truth Social transition and ban from Twitter).

1,315 posts — the single densest year in the dataset. The four Trump indictments (Mar-a-Lago documents, January 6, Georgia, Manhattan) generate a torrent of Biden-directed attacks. 'CROOKED JOE BIDEN & HIS INJUSTICE DEPARTMENT' is a recurring all-caps formulation. Biden is accused of directing Jack Smith, controlling Merrick Garland, and personally ordering Trump's prosecution while avoiding accountability for his own classified documents and family corruption. The cognitive fitness attack intensifies: Biden reads answers off cards, freezes, can't complete sentences. The 'worst president in history' framing consolidates.

Biden as the director of an unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department against his political opponent. 'Banana Republic', 'Witch Hunt', 'Crooked Joe Biden' are the defining vocabulary. The indictments of Trump are framed as Biden personally directing prosecution of his leading political rival. Every institutional action against Trump is traced back to Biden. Cognitive decline attacks continue alongside the legal persecution narrative.

1,224 posts in 2024. The pre-withdrawal phase treats Biden as the inevitable opponent. Trump constantly cites poll leads over 'Crooked Joe'. The Hur report becomes a major attack vector — a Democrat-appointed special counsel found documents everywhere but recommended no charges, which Trump characterizes as a flagrant double standard. Biden's perceived cognitive decline is amplified through every public stumble and prepared-question format. The 'Border Bloodbath' formulation peaks in this period. The Manhattan trial is described as a Biden election interference operation.

Trump frames 2024 as a rematch against a manifestly unfit and corrupt incumbent. The Hur report (classified documents found in Biden's garage, basement den, multiple offices) is deployed as evidence of a double standard. Biden's border policy is characterized as mass murder ('Border Bloodbath'). The Manhattan trial is explicitly framed as a Biden-directed election interference operation.

After Biden's July 2024 withdrawal, Trump's attack focus shifts toward Harris. Biden appears in compound formulations ('Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe') as a co-owner of the record being attacked. The 'Biden Tapes' subpoena fight continues. Biden remains the scapegoat for the general state of America but is no longer the daily target. The transition from Biden-as-opponent to Biden-as-predecessor is smooth — Trump simply extends all existing attack lines to the Biden administration as a historical record.

Biden's withdrawal from the race partially deflates him as an electoral target but he remains a reference point for every Democratic failure. 'Crooked Joe' and 'Kamala and Biden' are used interchangeably, linking Biden's record to Harris. Biden is no longer the primary antagonist but retains the role of the corrupt enabler behind Harris.

226 posts. Biden is no longer president, no longer a candidate, and no longer politically active — but Trump references him in nearly every policy announcement as the negative baseline. The 'autopen' claims (Biden's pardons and orders signed without his knowledge) become a major late-year theme, framed as evidence of an illegitimate presidency and possible constitutional crimes. The FBI emails revealing 'Biden DOJ's obsession with targeting Trump' continue to circulate. The pattern is clear: Biden's role as scapegoat has become structurally necessary to Trump's governing narrative.

Every problem inherited by the Trump second term is attributed to Biden. Open borders, Ukraine war, inflation, air traffic control failures, crime, FBI targeting of Trump, Keystone XL cancellation — all trace back to Biden. 'The incompetent Biden Administration' and 'Sleepy Joe Biden' remain in constant rotation even after Biden is a private citizen. The 'autopen' controversy adds a new constitutional grievance dimension.

Biden appears mainly as a comparative baseline for Trump's economic achievements ('mortgage rates were around 8% under Biden, now 5.7%') and as the target of ongoing institutional investigations (CIA reports retraction, DOJ-Fulton DA grant revelations, Georgia prosecutor coordination). The autopen posts signal that Trump may be building toward a formal legal challenge to Biden-era executive actions. Biden is no longer attacked as a person but as a record, an institution, and a potential legal target.

Biden is increasingly framed as a historical case study in corrupt governance rather than a current political threat. Economic comparisons (mortgage rates, utility bills) position Trump's record against Biden's as proof of superior governance. The autopen controversy morphs into constitutional illegitimacy claims. CIA retraction of Biden-era intel reports and DOJ-Fulton DA grant links add a systematic corruption dimension. Biden may face formal accountability.

Turning point
Jan 17, 2026

The autopen controversy — claims that Biden's executive orders and pardons were signed without his knowledge or consent — opens the possibility of retrospectively invalidating Biden-era governance. Biden transitions from a political failure to a potential constitutional crime.

Before2025

226 posts. Biden is no longer president, no longer a candidate, and no longer politically active — but Trump references him in nearly every policy announcement as the negative baseline. The 'autopen' claims (Biden's pardons and orders signed without his knowledge) become a major late-year theme, framed as evidence of an illegitimate presidency and possible constitutional crimes. The FBI emails revealing 'Biden DOJ's obsession with targeting Trump' continue to circulate. The pattern is clear: Biden's role as scapegoat has become structurally necessary to Trump's governing narrative.

Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP! Also, during my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long time conflict was ready to break out into WAR. I stopped it (Biden has hurt the longer term prospects with some very stupid decisions, but I will fix it, again!). Another case is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River. There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way! Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!

The Biden Administration and Governor Newscum flooded America with 21 Million Illegal Aliens, destroying Schools, Hospitals and Communities, and consuming untold Billions of Dollars in Free Welfare. All of them have to go home, as do countless other Illegals and Criminals, who will turn us into a bankrupt Third World Nation. America was invaded and occupied. I am reversing the Invasion. It’s called Remigration. Our courageous ICE Officers, who are daily being subjected to doxxing and murder threats, are HEROES. We will always have their back as they carry out this noble mission. America will be for Americans again!

Biden let 21 Million Unvetted, Illegal Aliens flood into the Country from some of the most dangerous and dysfunctional Nations on Earth — Many of them Rapists, Murderers, and Terrorists. This tsunami of Illegals has destroyed Americans' Public Schools, Hospitals, Parks, Community Resources, and Living Conditions. They have stolen American Jobs, consumed BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in Free Welfare, and turned once idyllic Communities, like Springfield, Ohio, into Third World Nightmares. I campaigned on, and received a Historic Mandate for, the largest Mass Deportation Program in American History. Polling shows overwhelming Public Support for getting the Illegals out, and that is exactly what we will do. As Commander-in-Chief, I will always protect and defend the Heroes of ICE and Border Patrol, whose work has already resulted in the Most Secure Border in American History. Anyone who assaults or attacks an ICE or Border Agent will do hard time in jail. Those who are here illegally should either self deport using the CBP Home App or, ICE will find you and remove you. Saving America is not negotiable!

Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!

Congratulations to Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Ted Cruz, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Roger Wicker, and Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, Tom Cotton, for their amazing deal on Spectrum as posted last night. This is serious power for American Leadership on 6G. We will have the World’s Greatest Networks, and ensure the Highest Level of National Security for future Generations of Americans. Biden did nothing on Spectrum in four years but, thanks to “THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL,” my Administration will beat all expectations, and show the World the path forward!

If “Too Late” at the Fed would CUT, we would greatly reduce interest rates, long and short, on debt that is coming due. Biden went mostly short term. There is virtually no inflation (anymore), but if it should come back, RAISE “RATE” TO COUNTER. Very Simple!!! He is costing our Country a fortune. Borrowing costs should be MUCH LOWER!!!

The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!

Passing THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL is a Historic Opportunity to turn our Country around after four disastrous years under Joe Biden. We will take a massive step to balancing our Budget by enacting the largest mandatory Spending Cut, EVER, and Americans will get to keep more of their money with the largest Tax Cut, EVER, and no longer taxing Tips, Overtime, or Social Security for Seniors — Something 80 Million Voters supported in November. It will unleash American Energy by expediting permitting for Energy, and refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It will make American Air Travel GREAT AGAIN by purchasing the final Air Traffic Control System. We will secure our skies from our adversaries by building The Golden Dome, and secure our Border by building more of our Wall, and supercharging the deportation of the millions of Criminal Illegals Joe Biden allowed to walk right into our Country. It will kick millions of Illegals off Medicaid, and make sure SNAP is focused on Americans ONLY! It will also restore Choice and Affordability for Car purchases by REPEALING Biden’s EV Mandate, and all of the GREEN NEW SCAM Tax Credits and Spending. THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL also protects our beautiful children by stopping funding for sick sex changes for minors. With the Senate coming back to Washington today, I call on all of my Republican friends in the Senate and House to work as fast as they can to get this Bill to MY DESK before the Fourth of JULY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under “TRUMP” Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!

Other than the Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, the Biggest Scandal in American History is the “AUTOPEN!” Whoever used it was usurping the power of the Presidency, and it should be very easy to find out who that person (or persons) is. They did things that a Joe Biden, of sound mind, would have never done, like, Open Borders, Transgender for everyone, men in women’s sports, and far more. Fear not, however, we will bring America BACK, BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!

Nobody has done more for Alaska than your Favorite President, DONALD J. TRUMP. However, the Biden/Harris Administration terminated MUCH of our good, JOB producing product. I am working very hard to gain it all back (and actually, MUCH MORE!), but need the support of your Political Leaders to make this happen. Without their commitment, it won’t happen. With it, Alaska will become the Economic and Job producing MIRACLE of our Country!

As the wonderful people of the Great State of Maine know, I did something for them, in particular the Fishing Industry, which everyone said was virtually impossible to do, or get done. I approved FULL Fishing Rights in the Ocean Waters, directly off the Coast of Maine, that were viciously taken away from them by the Obama/Biden Administration. They were not allowed to fish in those waters, and it would take them more than a day to get into areas, less fertile, where they were allowed to fish. In the meantime, Canada fished, and did very well in these formerly unrestricted areas. Immediately upon Sleepy Joe taking Office, his “AUTOPEN” rejected the Deal that I made for the people of Maine, greatly hurting the Fishermen and women. They call it a restricted “Environmental Monument,” an Ode to the Environmentalists doing everything they can to destroy our Country. In actuality, it was a punishment to the State by Obama/Biden. Additionally, I have done much for the wonderful Lumberjacks, who voted for me in great numbers. In fact, I won Maine-2, BIG. In any event, and as the World knows, I ended up winning the Election of 2024 in a LANDSLIDE, and am now working diligently to bring these valuable Fishing Rights back to Maine. Unfortunately, I have certain obstacles that only your Political Leaders can tell you about!

I have just signed a Proclamation for the United States Border Patrol, celebrating their 101st Anniversary. Shockingly, President Biden and the democrats refused to celebrate and honor them, and therefore would not sign a Proclamation celebrating this great achievement and all they have done for this Country!

Sheriff Scott Jenkins, his wife Patricia, and their family have been dragged through HELL by a Corrupt and Weaponized Biden DOJ. In fact, during his trial, when Sheriff Jenkins tried to offer exculpatory evidence to support himself, the Biden Judge, Robert Ballou, refused to allow it, shut him down, and then went on a tirade. As we have seen, in Federal, City, and State Courts, Radical Left or Liberal Judges allow into evidence what they feel like, not what is mandated under the Constitution and Rules of Evidence. This Sheriff is a victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice, and doesn’t deserve to spend a single day in jail. He is a wonderful person, who was persecuted by the Radical Left “monsters,” and “left for dead.” This is why I, as President of the United States, see fit to end his unfair sentence, and grant Sheriff Jenkins a FULL and Unconditional Pardon. He will NOT be going to jail tomorrow, but instead will have a wonderful and productive life.

I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia! Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not “Trump’s,” I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.

Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will. It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger. This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record. Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Whoever had control of the “AUTOPEN” is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before. THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR CORRUPT AND VICIOUS WITCH HUNT AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WHOSE LIVES WERE COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND DESTROYED BY THIS HISTORICALLY CRIMINAL EVENT. Remember, it all began with DIRTY COP James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognitively impaired Sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous ACCUSATION that,“THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!” Whoever had control of the Autopen is just the beginning. The biggest crime of all is that THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I (MAGA!) WON THE ELECTION BY MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA, FOR THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN!!!
