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.

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.

After2021-2022
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.

After2024 (Jan–Jul, pre-withdrawal)
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.

Biden's withdrawal from the race removes him as a direct electoral target but does not diminish his rhetorical function. Trump seamlessly transitions from attacking Biden-as-candidate to attacking Biden-as-record. The attacks continue without interruption.

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.

47 posts. 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.

47 posts. 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.
We are taking in TRILLIONS of Dollars in Tariffs and Investment Dollars from foreign lands because of Tariffs. I have stopped 5 of the eight WARS directly because of the threat of Tariffs if the don’t stop fighting or, better yet, if they start. There is almost no Inflation, and the worst in USA History under Sleepy Joe Biden. The Stock Market just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH for the 48th time in 9 months. To Leonard Leo, Koch, and all of the Countries and Slimeballs that have ripped off the United States of America for years through the use of their own Tariffs, we don’t have a Court System that’s going to let you destroy our Country any longer. This is the richest, strongest, and most respected the USA has ever been. November 5th, and Tariffs, are the reasons why. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT
I HAVE JUST GOTTEN THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS OF MY “POLITICAL CAREER.” While my great work on the Economy has not yet been fully appreciated, it will be! Things are really Rockin’. Stopping WARS and Foreign Relations seems to be a strong suit. Also great, The Border and Stopping Crime. I predict that the Economy, with the already HIGHEST STOCK MARKET, EVER, and prices coming sharply down from the Biden disaster, will soon be at the top of the list. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 (Not the Democrats!), was a lifelong Democrat, donated Thousands of Dollars to Democrat Politicians, and was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures, such as Bill Clinton (who traveled on his plane 26 times), Larry Summers (who just resigned from many Boards, including Harvard), Sleazebag Political Activist Reid Hoffman, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (who asked Epstein to donate to his Campaign AFTER Epstein was charged), Democrat Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, and many more. Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively. Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage. At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress. Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him. Democrats have used the “Epstein” issue, which affects them far more than the Republican Party, in order to try and distract from our AMAZING Victories, including THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TAX CUT BILL, Strong Borders, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, lowering Prices, Biggest Tax and Regulation Cuts in History, ending EIGHT Wars, rebuilding our Military, knocking out Iran’s Nuclear capability, getting Trillions of Dollars INVESTED in the U.S.A., creating the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World, and even delivering a HUGE DEFEAT to the Democrats on the recent Shutdown Disaster. For years our Great Nation has had to endure RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1 , IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2 , and many other Democrat created Witch Hunts and Scams, all of which have been so terrible and divisive for our Country, and have been done to confuse, deflect, and distract from the GREAT JOB that Republicans, and the Trump Administration, are doing. This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
I don’t care when the Senate passes the House Bill, whether tonight, or at some other time in the near future, I just don’t want Republicans to take their eyes off all of the Victories that we’ve had, including THE GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, Closed Borders, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Tax and Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT Wars, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World, having Trillions of Dollars INVESTED in the U.S.A., having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World, and even delivering a HUGE DEFEAT to the Democrats on the Shutdown. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
RT @rapidresponse47 NEC Director Kevin Hassett: Purchasing power dropped by about $3,000 under Joe Biden because the wages didn't keep up with prices. Under President @realDonaldTrump , it's already gone up by about $1,200. We understand that people still feel the pain of the high prices, but we're closing the gap fast.
RT @realDonaldTrump I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Cost, and INFLATION, were far higher under the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, than they are now. In fact, costs under the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION are tumbling down, helped greatly by gasoline and ENERGY. Affordability is a lie when used by the Dems. It is a complete CON JOB. Thanksgiving costs are 25% lower this year than last, under Crooked Joe! We are the Party of Affordability!
I am proud to announce the nomination of Nick Ganjei to serve as Judge on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Nick has a strong resume, having clerked for two Highly Respected Judges, Richard Allen Griffin and Ralph Erickson. He has also earned the unwavering support of Senator Ted Cruz, after doing an incredible job as his Chief Counsel, and now, as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas. Nick is a fearless proponent of Immigration Enforcement, Strong Borders, and LAW AND ORDER — All very popular in The Lone Star State, especially after Joe Biden recklessly let MILLIONS of Illegal Immigrants cross the Southern Border, and invade the beautiful ranches and communities of Southern Texas. Nick Ganjei is an America First Fighter, who will always uphold our Constitution, enforce the Rule of Law, and Keep our now very Secure Border, Secure. Congratulations Nick!
“AUTOPEN” \nSleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing the Southern Border, Biden let 21 million people from all over the World pour into the United States, including from prisons, jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums. His surrender in Afghanistan was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with many others gravely wounded. Seeing Biden’s devastating weakness, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Hamas terrorists launched the heinous October 7th attack on Israel. Nicknamed both “Sleepy” and “Crooked,” Joe Biden was dominated by his radical handlers. They and their allies in the Fake News Media attempted to cover up his severe mental decline, and his unprecedented use of the Autopen. Following his humiliating debate loss to President Trump in the big June 2024 debate, he was forced to withdraw from his campaign for re-election in disgrace. Biden weaponized Law Enforcement against his political opponent, while also persecuting many other innocent people. He left office issuing blanket pardons to Radical Democrat criminals and thugs, as well as members of the Biden Crime Family — But despite it all, President Trump would get Re-Elected, and SAVE AMERICA!
2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart. My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats “affordability” issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!
Walmart just announced that Prices for a Thanksgiving Dinner is now down 25% since under Sleepy/Crooked Joe Biden, in 2024. AFFORDABILITY is a Republican Stronghold. Hopefully, Republicans will use this irrefutable fact!
Christina Bobb’s new Book, “DEFIANT: Inside the Mar-a-Lago Raid and the Left’s Ongoing Lawfare,” is AVAILABLE NOW —\nIt was my Great Honor to write the Foreword! In this MUST READ expose, Christinia “brings the receipts” for the Deranged Jack Smith Investigations, and the Illegal Raid on Mar-a-Lago. The American People deserve to know the real story of Biden’s Weaponization of the “Justice” System against me, and our incredible Movement — They were not after me, they were after you, I was just in the way! The Radical Left Lunatics don’t want you to know the TRUTH, but now you do. ORDER TODAY!\n https:// a.co/d/eBrJSim
SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
America First Patriot Michael Whatley will be an amazing United States Senator for the Great State of North Carolina, which I love and WON BIG, six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024!\n \nMichael is fantastic at everything he does, and was certainly a STAR as Co-Chair of the RNC where, in the Presidential Election, we won every Swing State, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a landslide. Michael is a wonderful man, has ALWAYS delivered for North Carolina, especially after the terrible floods, where the Biden Administration did nothing, and will continue doing so as your next U.S. Senator, where he will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Incredible Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.\n \nMichael Whatley has my Complete and Total Endorsement – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
Attention Pennsylvania: On November 4th, you can bring back the Rule of Law, and stand up for the Constitution. There are three Radical Democrat Supreme Court Justices on the Ballot for a 10 year retention. Vote “NO, NO, NO” on Liberal Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht. These activist Judges unlawfully gerrymandered your Congressional maps, which led to my corrupt Impeachment(s), and locked you up during COVID by closing your small businesses, schools, and churches. They let sex offenders out of prison, and ruled for Sleepy Joe Biden over and over, and interfered in the 2020 Election. It is time for Justice. Vote “NO, NO, NO" on retention of these woke Judges.
Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior!
Ask former President Barack Hussein Obama whether or not he really believes that in 2020 Joe Biden got 15 Million more Votes than he did in 2012 (65.9 vs. 81 Million). Additionally, ask him why it is that Joe Biden “beat” Obama in every single Swing State with the Black Vote in 2020, even though Black Voters hate him, but in no other State? THE 2020 ELECTION WAS AN ILLEGAL SCAM/HOAX THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET!
THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT
Wow! Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ spied on Republican Senators and a least one Republican Congressman. This is really bad “stuff.” They tried to take down the Republican Party, and got caught!!!
