PresidentĀ Joe Biden on Saturday calledĀ Donald Trump ā€œclearly unhingedā€ and claimed that ā€œsomething snappedā€ in the former president after he lost the 2020 election.

ā€œItā€™s clear that ā€¦ when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,ā€ Biden told supporters in Seattle at a private fundraiser Saturday, according to reporters in the room.Ā ā€œHeā€™s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, heā€™s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what heā€™s telling people.ā€

Even though Biden thinks the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is ā€œunhinged,ā€ he said he believes the November election will be ā€œclose.ā€

ā€œWe feel good about the state of the race, but we know the race is close,ā€ Biden said, pointing to recent polls.

      Oh, definitely, but if you tell someone they previously voted for a total moron theyā€™re not going to vote for you. If everyone knows and has always known theyā€™re a moron but you say they just became a moron they might vote for you as you didnā€™t personally insult them.

        As a society, we should stop blaming people for being conned, falling into cults, etc.

          As a society we really need to figure out how half our population joined a cult.

          ā€¦ and I reserve the right to judge them if their actions lead to people dying (i.e. anti-choice folks). I, at least, donā€™t permanently judge people. People can grow and become better - if theyā€™re willing to put in the effort.

            As recently as the 1990s, 90% of the USA was Christian. So, good question.
