Former President Donald Trump is opting for the more strategic approach. Following the recent Presidential debate, the Democrats are facing a downward spiral. President Joe Biden, their candidate, has lost the trust of the American people in his mental capacity to lead for another term. Despite conservative media openly discussing Biden’s cognitive decline, mainstream media has been trying to protect him. However, Biden’s poor performance in Atlanta was so evident that even they could not ignore or distort the truth about his mental state.

Following the debate, all the pundits from the ruling elite started urging Biden to withdraw. It was clear to them that Biden is no match for Trump in November. Trump, for the most part, has refrained from getting involved. Apart from a few memes and videos right after the debate, he has remained largely silent on Biden’s mental decline, a narrative he often emphasized before.
Would somebody please inform our WORST President in history, Crooked Joe Biden, who doesn’t have a clue, that while he dithers around and illegally attacks his political opponent, ME, and is always trying to blame everyone else for the MANY, MANY, MANY mistakes he has made, IRAN…

The probable outcome stems from two main factors. Firstly, Trump is aware that his chances of reclaiming the White House in 2024 are higher if Biden is his opponent. Currently, the Republican Party has effectively pinned the country’s issues on Biden. He is blamed for the rising costs of groceries, gas, and utilities. It is because of Biden that we are facing the risk of World War III and dealing with a surge of illegal immigration at the southern border.
If Trump were to support Biden’s removal or indirectly validate the Democrats’ efforts to sideline him due to his age, it would only pave the way for a less controversial replacement. Ironically, Trump actually relies on Biden being in the race. This is not to suggest that Trump couldn’t defeat another Democratic candidate, but it would be more challenging to shift the existing narrative that is firmly associated with Biden.
ABC’s @RachelVScott: “I want to go back to that question that Pelosi raised earlier today.”
KJP: “Sure.”
Scott: Pelosi asks, it is — Pelosi said it's a legitimate question to ask if this is an episode or is this is a condition. Which one is it?”
KJP: “Well, what I can tell you… pic.twitter.com/tMj1g1K4jX

Additionally, Trump has shown great self-control. While he maintains his charismatic New Yorker persona from 2015, he has also incorporated a level of restraint. This was evident during the CNN debate, where he allowed Biden to speak freely, knowing that it would ultimately work against him. In 2020, Trump strategically interrupted Biden at times, preventing him from being exposed. In a sense, his interjections actually helped Biden.
Trump being silent is absolutely perfect.
