He addresses the nation tomorrow night about withdrawing from the race and plan for the remainder of his term.

Trump is posting based on batshit crazy Laura Loomer claims. He has promoted her a number of times as his own dedicated replacement for the Drudge Report. He ought to be asked by reporters to refute her lies and hateful attacks.

Well luckily Boebert etc got their PROOF OF LIFE today when Biden got off the plane back in DC. Unless he was a body double/hologram/life sized deepfake.

So how do you know trump is basing his comments off of loomer's? I'm not saying he isn't but how can you tell for sure?
Trump's comment was a smart political comment and plays off the questions posed by the media. If he is tying anything to loomer than it is really dumb because she comes off as batshit crazy to all but the far right nuts, which he doesn't need to engage at all.

Nancy Pelosi: How She Got the Job Done​

Convincing Joe Biden to end his 2024 campaign required the kind of tact, finesse, and steely resolve she has shown repeatedly in her long career.​


"... Pelosi has long boasted of her vote-counting prowess and refusal to bring bills to the House floor unless she knew they would pass. Her campaign to get Biden to step down was not going to fail. So she was unflinching in her approach to Biden, a man she knows famously delays decision-making.

As one Democrat told Politico: “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way. . . . She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.” ..."

President Joe Biden Disses Obama’s Gay Marriage Legacy Amid Rift Rumors

“Remember that little problem with the Obama administration,” President Joe Biden told reporters Tuesday about his early support of gay marriage.

"... “Well, I’m really proud of my position,” Biden told reporters when asked about his “legacy for LGBTQ Americans.” “I was the first guy to come out for gay marriage. Remember that little problem with the Obama administration?” Biden was referring to an episode in 2012 where he sidestepped Obama on the issue during the heat of the presidential election, announcing that he was “absolutely comfortable” with gay marriage on NBC’s Meet the Press despite Obama’s obfuscation on the question, according to The Telegraph. A few days later, Obama acquiesced and affirmed Biden’s position. Biden later apologized to Obama for getting out ahead of him, according to CNN. The rehashing comes after Obama applied pressure alongside Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other party bigwigs to push Biden off the ticket. ..."

Joe not afraid to remind Barrack that Joe played trial balloon for him more than once (or else just pushed him out of a scared crouch on this position).
 
Just wanted to add that it's stunning how little attention Biden has gotten in the previous week. Like if Biden were a stock it would be one of those graphs that shows him going from Mt. Everest to the penny stocks in the snap of a finger.

Nancy Pelosi’s Art of Power​

The former Speaker discusses how she hastened Joe Biden’s decision to drop out, her new memoir, and not getting “doggy doo-doo on your shoe.”

"... Pelosi went on to say that she had been “startled” by Biden’s performance in the June 27th debate with Donald Trump, that she had “never” seen him in such an alarming and confused state.

“In fact, earlier in the day, when I was with the members, they were, like, Oh, how’s it going to be? ‘Trump will be so awful,’ I said. ‘Don’t worry about it. The Joe Biden of the State of the Union is going to show up. It’s going to be great.’ In fact, I didn’t even want him to be in a debate. . . . I said, [Trump’s] doggy doo-doo. You’re going to get doggy doo-doo on your shoe. It’s not a good thing. You can’t. We’re just talking shorthand here, right? You can’t do that. But [Biden] was going to do it. He felt great. And I had confidence in him. I didn’t think it wouldn’t be good. I just didn’t want him to be seen with that guy. And then that happened, and I think everybody was stunned. It was stunning.”

And so, on “Morning Joe,” when asked, inevitably, about Biden’s prickly reluctance to give up the race, Pelosi responded as if the President had not said, over and over, that he had no intention of giving in to the calls for him to step aside. “It’s up to the President to decide if he’s going to run,” she said evenly for the cameras. “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is running short. . . . He’s beloved, he’s respected, and people want him to make that decision.” And then, to make sure her audience of one got the message, she added, “I want him to do whatever he decides to do, and that’s the way it is. Whatever he decides, we go with.”

Pelosi did not deny the craft or the intent of what she had done. ..."
 

President Joe Biden is frustrated that Barack Obama wouldn’t tell him to his face that he should leave the race. He’s angry with Nancy Pelosi and views her as ruthless for ushering him out the door. And he’s still miffed at the role Chuck Schumer played, too.

Biden has told his closest aides and associates that he is coming to terms with his decision to bow out of the presidential race last month, but still harbors some frustration toward the members of his own party he believes pushed him out, according to three people familiar with Biden’s thinking who are not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations.

Pelosi has been at the forefront of late, as the former speaker is on an extensive book tour and has been publicly explaining her part in nudging Biden off the top of the ticket. The president is still smarting but has told people in recent days that he grudgingly respects Pelosi’s actions.


“She did what she had to do” in order to give Democrats the best chance to win in November, Biden told one of the people, adding that Pelosi “cares about the party,” not about feelings.

At the end of the day the hows weren’t as important as the whats here.

It’s understandable that Biden would feel the way he does but he had the opportunity to take that step on his own sooner. He ultimately got the message and it’s not surprising Pelosi was the one to deliver it.
