OSHKOSH - US President Donald Trump questioned former Vice-President Joe Biden's mental capabilities and mocked Senator Kamala Harris of California as an extreme liberal in three campaign rally-like appearances on Monday as Democrats began their four-day national political convention nominally in Milwaukee but largely online.
Trump's reelection campaign has struggled to get traction amid the coronavirus pandemic that has devastated the nation's economy and forced cancellations and shutdowns across vast swaths of American life. At a stop earlier on Monday in Mankato, Minnesota, Trump delivered an hourlong speech to a small crowd at the airport, accusing Biden of wanting to raise taxes, weaken police departments, open borders, increase the cost of energy and lock people in their homes because of the pandemic.
Trump's first stop of the day was at the airport in Minneapolis, where there were protests and violence after the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in the city. Trump lashed out at Biden and other Democrats for enabling what he called"radical left anarchists" who looted parts of Minneapolis.Before Trump's arrival in Minnesota, Tim Walz, the state's Democratic governor, said Trump had wanted to make his remarks in front of a memorial to Floyd.
"Biden is shot. I'm telling you he's shot. There's something going on," the president said."Now with that being said, I don't underestimate anybody. Only a fool would do that."
