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.

I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS, that is Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine. I’m only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President. I know exactly what I’m doing, and I don’t need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them. They are “STUPID” people, with no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current R/U disaster more difficult to FIX. Despite all of my lightweight and very jealous critics, I’ll get it done — I always do!!! President DJT

It’s incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me. There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me. I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden’s stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!

The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne “The God” (Why is he allowed to use the word “GOD” when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?). He’s a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done - like just ending 5 Wars, including a 31 year bloodbath between Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where Seven Million people have died, and there was no end in sight. He didn’t know that, or India and Pakistan or, wiping out Iran’s nuclear capabilities, or closing the horrendous open Border, or creating the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER. But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala? Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!

Great job by American Patriot, Art Del Cueto of the National Border Council, on Fox & Friends this morning. The Border numbers are AMAZING, with Zero people entering illegally for the last 3 months. Under Crooked Joe Biden and “Border Czar” Kamala, a comparable number was hundreds of thousands of people, many from Gangs, Prisons, and Mental Institutions, pouring into our Country. Jack Brewer was likewise Fantastic, such great strength and heart! Thank you both!

“Too Late” Powell should resign, just like Adriana Kugler, a Biden Appointee, resigned. She knew he was doing the wrong thing on Interest Rates. He should resign, also!

I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I have just been informed that almost 20,000 Russian soldiers died this month in the ridiculous War with Ukraine. Russia has lost 112,500 soldiers since the beginning of the year. That is a lot of unnecessary DEATH! Ukraine, however, has also suffered greatly. They have lost approximately 8,000 soldiers since January 1, 2025, and that number does not include their missing. Ukraine has also lost civilians, but in smaller numbers, as Russian rockets crash into Kyiv, and other Ukrainian locales. This is a War that should have never happened — This is Biden’s War, not “TRUMP’s.” I’m just here to see if I can stop it!

Great news for North Carolina! Michael Whatley, one of the most capable executives in our Country, who successfully ran, along with Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee, has launched his run for the United States Senate!\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. He also helped us win North Carolina six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024! 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, Help Secure our already Secure Southern Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, Strengthen our 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!

Chuck Grassley, who I got re-elected to the U.S. Senate when he was down, by a lot, in the Great State of Iowa, could solve the “Blue Slip” problem we are having with respect to the appointment of Highly Qualified Judges and U.S. Attorneys, with a mere flick of the pen. Democrats like Schumer, Warner, Kaine, Booker, Schiff, and others, SLEAZEBAGS ALL, have an ironclad stoppage of Great Republican Candidates. Put simply, the President of the United States will never be permitted to appoint the person of his choice because of an ancient, and probably Unconstitutional, “CUSTOM,” that if you have, even one person in the opposite Party serving in the U.S. Senate, he/she must give consent, thereby completely stopping the opposite Party’s Nomination. The only way to beat this Hoax is to appoint a Democrat or, a weak and ineffective Republican. Therefore, I would never be able to appoint Great Judges or U.S. Attorneys in California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, and other places, where there is, coincidentally, the highest level of crime and corruption — The places where fantastic people are most needed! Senator Grassley must step up, like Crooked Joe Biden did, when he openly broke, at least two times, the “Blue Slip” SCAM, and like others have done over the years, and let our Great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys BE CONFIRMED. He should do this, IMMEDIATELY, and not let the Democrats laugh at him and the Republican Party for being weak and ineffective. The Democrats have broken this ridiculous custom on us, it’s time that we break it on them. Chuck, I know you have the Courage to do this, DO IT!

To the Great People of North Carolina, one of the most capable executives in our Country successfully ran, along with Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee. He happens to live in your incredible State, which I love, and won, including Primaries, six times in a row! My relationship with you has been fantastic, and only enhanced by the job I did after January 20th, when I took over the flood drenched areas that were abandoned by Sleepy Joe Biden and your Governor, and, through the infusion of money and hard work, fixed the problem like nobody else has the ability to do. The one that energized that project, and so many more, was the Chairman of the RNC, Michael Whatley. I am sending this Statement out for a very good reason. Mike would make an unbelievable Senator from North Carolina. He is fantastic at everything he does, and he was certainly great at the RNC where, in the Presidential Election, we won every Swing State, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a landslide! But I have a mission for my friends in North Carolina, and that is to get Michael Whatley to run for the U.S. Senate. He is STRONG on the Border, stopping Crime, supporting our Military/Veterans, cutting Taxes, and saving our always under siege Second Amendment. I need him in Washington, and I need him representing YOU! Fortunately, I have somebody who will do a wonderful job as the Chairman of the RNC. His name is, Joe Gruters, and he will have my Complete and Total Endorsement. So, should Michael Whatley run for the Senate, please let this notification represent my Complete and Total Endorsement. HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

Last night, in New York City, an incredible CBP Officer was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden. He was apprehended at the Border in April 2023 but, instead of being deported, was RELEASED. The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage. The Democrats have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders, and now, they must all be thrown out or, in some cases, immediately prosecuted in that we cannot take a chance that they are able to come back. That’s how evil and dangerous they are!

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It’s all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I am announcing a 50% TARIFF on Copper, effective August 1, 2025, after receiving a robust NATIONAL SECURITY ASSESSMENT. Copper is necessary for Semiconductors, Aircraft, Ships, Ammunition, Data Centers, Lithium-ion Batteries, Radar Systems, Missile Defense Systems, and even, Hypersonic Weapons, of which we are building many. Copper is the second most used material by the Department of Defense! Why did our foolish (and SLEEPY!) “Leaders” decimate this important Industry? This 50% TARIFF will reverse the Biden Administration’s thoughtless behavior, and stupidity. America will, once again, build a DOMINANT Copper Industry. THIS IS, AFTER ALL, OUR GOLDEN AGE!
