The Daily Beast reported Wednesday night on a leaked video of President Trump speaking while golfing after last Thursday’s debate, in which he addressed Joe Biden and Khama. La Harris talked trash. The video quickly went viral on social media.
Trump has kept a low public profile in recent days as Biden’s candidacy implodes.
The brief video shows Trump talking about the debate to caddies in a golf cart while handing them what appears to be tips. Son Barron was apparently in the golf cart next to Trump.
Rough transcription of TGP:
Trump: “How did I feel about the debate that night?”
Off camera: “Awesome” “Awesome.”
Trump: “I kicked that old piece of junk. Too bad. He just resigned, you know. He’s out of the game.
Off camera: “Really?”
Trump: “Yeah, I kicked him out. That means you have Kamala. I think she’s better. She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic. She’s so bad, so. You Can you imagine that guy dealing with Putin and the President of China when they just announced that he might resign… thank you.
EXCLUSIVE: In new candid video, Trump claims Biden is “out of the race” after the debate – “I asked him to quit” – and calls him a “broken piece of garbage.” Trump said he would rather run against Kamala Harris, calling her “pathetic.” https://t.co/hxScaD1Jv1

The Daily Beast said that when asked to comment on the video, the Trump campaign pointed to a press release issued earlier Wednesday.
Trump campaign statement on the complete collapse of the Democratic Party
“Every Democrat calling for crooked Joe Biden to resign has been a supporter of Biden and his failed policies that have led to extreme inflation, open borders, and chaos at home and abroad. Make no mistake, Democrats, the mainstream media and the Swamp to hide the truth from the American public—that Joe Biden is weak, failed, dishonest, and unfit for the White House, as each of them has perceived Joe Biden to be over the past four years. Lies have been told and support for his disastrous policies, especially by co-pilot Kamala Harris.
President Trump will defeat any Democrat on November 5th because he has a strong record and an agenda to make America great again.

Biden said in a conference call with campaign staff on Wednesday that he would not drop out of the race. So far this week, at least three Democratic members of Congress and several liberal newspapers, including The New York Times, have called on Biden to drop out of the race.
