Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans are panicking over Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race.

J.D. Vance has joined the chorus of conservatives who have begun claiming that President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race constitutes a so-called “coup” in the Democratic Party.

In an interview filmed on Saturday with Fox News’s Jesse Watters, a clip of which aired on Fox & Friends Monday morning, Watters asked former President Donald Trump and his newly minted running mate, Vance, the new question plaguing Republicans: “Is it a coup against Joe Biden?” Both of them fumbled their answers.

“Uh, sort of,” Trump said unsure, looking over to Vance for explanation.

      You saw how big “Hawk Tuah” girl got. Dumb people elevate dumb shit. Thankfully she seems to be pretty level headed. But at that moment I knew us Americans like really, really dumb shit and will put those kinds on a pedestal.

          Sounds like no, she wasn’t.

          Haliey Welch used to wake up at 3:30 a.m. every morning to go to work at a spring factory in Belfast, Tennessee.

          …

          Now, Welch is sleeping in.

          …

          She may be small town, but she’s savvy. Welch is taking what started as embarrassment and is turning it into a career. She’s assembled a team consisting of an attorney, a management company and a PR firm. That team is entertaining appearances with price tags north of $25,000 each, according to her manager, Jonnie Forster, owner of Los Angeles-based management firm The Penthouse.

          “Right now, she can make more money holding up a can for five minutes than she made all last year,” Forster said.

          …

          Once she saw the merchandise being made and sold online by other people, she thought, “If everyone else is making money off of it, I might as well, too.”

          She quit her job at the spring factory on June 27.

            Mental Decline according to people like this:

            Enacting popular laws and policies that have helped support millions of families and individuals. Brought us back from Covid after some other asshole screwed the pooch. Literally used loopholes to provide aid to countless students and continues to attempt to rock that particular boat constantly. Kept us out of a worse economical recession. Gave us some fantastic memes.

            Actual Mental Decline:

            Well I can agree, not simped for Biden, but sure as hell made up a lot of excuses for his mental decline.
