Trump attacks old foe Biden  but presidential parallels hard to avoid
"Donald Trump teased supporters in Pennsylvania this week, still toying with nicknames for his predecessor Joe Biden. Typically, Crooked Joe wins. I'm surprised because to me he's a sleepy son of a bitch. Exulting in Biden's drowsiness, the US president and his supporters seemed blissfully ignorant of a rich irony: that 79-year-old Trump himself has recently been spotted apparently dozing off at various meetings."
"Tuesday's event marked the launch of a Trump roadshow designed to reassure voters that the US economy is in safe hands despite the evidence of their pockets. In that there was an uncomfortable echo of Biden's travels to champion Bidenomics, which did not end well for him. At every turn, Trump seeks to distance himself from his Democratic rival, accusing him of driving up inflation and illegal immigration and botching the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan."
Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden with nicknames such as 'Crooked Joe' and 'Sleepy Joe' while campaigning in Pennsylvania. Supporters celebrated Biden's drowsiness even as Trump himself has been observed apparently dozing at meetings. Trump launched a roadshow to assure voters that the US economy is secure despite pocket-level cost pressures, echoing Biden's earlier Bidenomics tours. Both men are elderly and face similar burdens of affordability and public doubts about fitness. Critics note ironic parallels as Trump accuses Biden of economic failures while confronting similar challenges and the political difficulty of masking personal frailty.
