Trump Makes Bombshell Announcement - ‘For The Good Of the Country’

Former President Donald Trump has issued a challenge to President Joe Biden, urging him to engage in a discussion "for the good of the country."

This challenge comes as Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, which alleges mishandling of classified material by Biden, was released. The report also highlights Biden's purported difficulty in recalling significant dates and events, including his tenure as vice president and the passing of his son Beau from brain cancer.

During an interview on his radio program, the former president expressed doubt about Biden's ability to continue leading and invited him to a debate "right now." This invitation follows an earlier offer to speak with reporters, which Biden declined for the second consecutive year.

Trump stated, "I don’t think he’s gonna run, but I’d like to call for, immediately, debates. I’d like to debate him now because we should debate. We should debate for the good of the country." He also mentioned offering to take Biden's spot at the Super Bowl for better ratings.

The news of Trump's call for debates was met with enthusiasm by radio host Bongino, who exclaimed, "Mr. President Donald J. Trump calls for debates against Joe Biden. I mean, that’s great. We’re breaking some news here!"

Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich discussed Hur’s findings, with Ingraham noting that some Democrats disputed the assessments of Biden's mental capacity made in the report, claiming he showed no signs of weakness in their interactions. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) both countered the report's claims, asserting that Biden's memory and sharpness remain intact.

“I mean, come on, Newt,” Ingraham exclaimed, before continuing:

I have it on good authority…a friend of mine was in the White House a couple of weeks ago, and she is not a Trump fan, let me just say this… She was up close and personal with the president, and was shocked — her words were ‘shocked’ about his state.

WATCH:

Hur’s proof of Biden’s significant decline in mental capacity will also fuel disputes among the vast majority of Americans, who according to the latest polls do not think the president is capable of serving out his current term, much less another four.

Just the news notes:

Hur’s 388-page report released Thursday may have spared Biden the spectacle of a criminal prosecution similar to that his Justice Department imposed on Donald Trump, but it delivered a devastating blow to the 46th president’s re-election hopes by going out of its way to explain criminal charges weren’t levied in part because jurors might see Biden as a dottering, forgetful old man incapable of criminal intent.

“Mr. Biden will likely present himself to the jury, as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur wrote in explaining his rationale for refusing prosecution. “…It would be difficult to convince a jury they should convict him – by then a former president who will be at least well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report concluded.

Hur added for good measure he believed Biden suffered from “diminished faculties in advancing age.”
