Former President Donald Trump is firing back after President Joe Biden called his memory into question.
In a video on Wednesday, Trump said, “[Biden] went on a very poorly rated show last night, and he talked about Donald Trump and his wife — I don’t know the name of my wife.”
“He was referring to the fact that at CPAC… I made the statement that Melania was very popular because when I mentioned her name, the audience went wild. I then looked at the two people, man and wife, Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, and I said, ‘Wow, they really like the first lady,” he continued. “So this got taken as the fact that I thought Mercedes was the first lady.”

Trump went on to suggest Democrats take his attempt to mock Biden appearing to get lost on stage and “they say, ‘Oh he has trouble getting off the stage.'”
“I have no trouble getting off a stage,” he added.
Finally, Trump said, “The disinformation of the Democrats is unbelievable. They do it because they have a horrible candidate. Don’t associate me with the mental midget.”
In a post on Truth Social, he issued a challenge to Biden, writing, “Crooked Joe Biden must take a Cognitive Test. Maybe that way we would be able to find out why he makes such terrible decisions.”
“I took two of them, and ACED them both (no mistakes!). All Presidents, or people wanting to become President, should mandatorily take this test!” he added.

Donald…
During an interview this week, late night host Seth Meyers said to Biden, “This isn’t a gotch-ya show but I do want to ask you about it… You are currently 81-years-old… All jokes aside, according to recent polling, this is a real concern for American voters.”
“How do you address that concern going forward as you come up to the 2024 election?” he asked.
Biden responded, “Well, a couple things. Number one, you got to take a look at the other guy. He’s about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name.”
He appeared to refer to a moment during Trump’s speech when he we accused of calling his wife, Melania Trump, Mercedes.
He went on:
“It’s about how old your ideas are. Look, I mean, this is a guy who wants to take his back… he wants to take us back in Roe v Wade. He wants to take us back on a whole range of issues that are 50, 60 years. They’ve been solid American positions.”
Finally, Biden said, “I think it’s about, about the future and everything, every single thing we’ve done, I think we’ve got some good things done everything. And they told us we couldn’t get them done because things were so divided. And, but I think everything’s everything we’ve gotten done. He’s just finally stated he wants to do away with you, gets elected. And I really think his views on where to take America are older than… anyway…
