"Trump's Attempt to Redefine Biden: From 'Sleepy Joe' to 'Crooked Joe'"

Former President Donald Trump is attempting to redefine his portrayal of President Joe Biden, shifting from calling him "Sleepy Joe" to "Crooked Joe." Trump baselessly claims that Biden is orchestrating a conspiracy to target him using the justice system, despite no evidence supporting this. While Trump occasionally reverts to portraying Biden as mentally unfit, he now presents him as a ruthless mastermind. Republicans are divided on how to depict Biden, with some focusing on his alleged incompetence and others on his alleged corruption. Surveys show that independent voters are more concerned about Biden's age than the claims of political weaponization.
