Hateful Trump Rants About Biden: ‘I Really Don’t Feel Sorry For Him’

Trump proves, once again, that he doesn't have an ounce of humanity. We've already watched Trump use Biden's diagnosis to push conspiracy theories, and to attack him as a "decrepit corpse." Now he's just come straight out and said he doesn't "feel sorry for him" during an unhinged rant following a softball by Steve Doocy during a White House presser this Friday.

“So many of the things that you’re trying to do are held up in court right now,” Doocy said. “If the courts are gonna have so much influence over U.S. policy, do you wish you would’ve just become a judge instead?”

Trump chuckled and embarked on a nearly five-minute whirlwind response that concluded with an attack on Biden’s handling of the border.

“They allowed them to come in,” the president said. “One thing I can’t figure out is what would an administration– what were they thinking when they allowed millions of people from prisons all over the world, not just from South America, Venezuela, but all over the world, from the Congo in Africa? Hundreds of people, thousands of people from the Congo, rough, rough prisoners from Asia, from Europe, rough parts of Europe. Why would they allow them to come into our country?”

Bannon's Latest Conspiracy: Harvard Foreign Students Reporting To Chinanullnullnullnullnullnullnull

Seditionist and Real America's Voice podcaster Steve Bannon claimed that foreign students going to Harvard, including those from China, are actually sleeper agents for the CCP infiltrating the US.

The MAGA cult can always come up with a conspiracy theory to defend TACO Trump and his illegal actions.

Trump also dropped the bomb on Harvard. Hey, no students, no foreign students, no Chinese.

I wanna see it all. Lao Bajing has been tormented.

This is not about Chinese students. It's about the process of the CCP using the students to go everywhere, including the weapons labs, take the positions from American students, and then to report back every month to the Chinese Communist Party.

And oh, by the way, go back and work in the technology companies.

Hey, guess what?

Educate them over there in Hong Kong University. We will welcome all scholars of the world.

Go for it, baby.

You wanna be indoctrinated and educated in Beijing University?

Go for it.

Wanna go to Hong Kong University?

Go for it.

Europeans saying, well, we'll show America.

Well, go.

Go, see, let me sign up for that.

This is the greatest education system because it's underwritten by taxpayers. Underwritten by taxpayers and there to rip taxpayers off for making sure the kids don't get jobs. President Trump, he's like outlaw Josie Wales. You know what he's saying? We're gonna go down to Harvard and we're gonna set things right.
