There’s a Trump video going viral Wednesday, and when I first saw it, I wondered if it was a fake—after all, we live in the age of AI and CGI and everything in between, and there are plenty of bad actors who would love nothing more than to fool the public. But the Daily Beast is reporting that it’s authentic, and the New York Post and DailyMail are also going with the story, and the Trump campaign is not disputing it.
In it, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee delivers an absolutely devastating assessment of his rival Joe Biden and his supposed second in command, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Warning: Profanity
Trump on the golf course says that old broken down pice of shit is quitting the race.

This savage takedown will likely be met with cheering approval from Trump fans and paroxysms of outrage from the liberal corporate media and Biden supporters. Joe Biden will soon be out of the race, the former president predicted:
Donald Trump delivered a brutal assessment of Joe Biden’s performance against him in last week’s presidential debate, calling the president a “broken-down pile of crap” teetering on the verge of “quitting the race” in a video provided by a source to The Daily Beast.
“He just quit, you know—he’s quitting the race,” Trump says, sitting in a golf cart. “I got him out of the—and that means we have Kamala.”
Although the video is short, clocking in at 40 seconds, Trump wasn’t done—far from it. If you’re Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, you’re not going to like it:
It was not immediately clear where or when exactly the footage had been covertly filmed.
In the video, the former president asks the person holding the camera what they thought of his own debate performance. As he’s told he did “fantastic” and “amazing,” Trump blusters on flatly, “Look at that old, broken down pile of crap.
“It’s a bad guy,” he says, seemingly referring to Biden. After announcing that the president is quitting and handing the baton to Kamala Harris, Trump continues, “I think she’s gonna be better” as an opponent.
“She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic,” he adds, plucking at his gloves, then appears to say, “She’s so fucking bad.”
The news cycle has not been kind lately to Kamala Harris:

As I mentioned, the Trump campaign was contacted about the video, and they notably did not dispute its authenticity:
Reached for comment on Wednesday evening, Trump campaign spokesperson Stephen Cheung directed The Daily Beast to a statement issued earlier in the day on the “total collapse” of the Democratic 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,” read the statement, attributed to campaign advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.
That certainly does not sound like they’re disavowing the video, but we will wait and see if there’s official confirmation.
Trump is a unique politician, one who refuses to follow the “norms.” Whether you appreciated his delivery or his tone, it’s hard to argue with his assessment. Biden is toast.
