Former President Donald Trump issued a noteworthy defense of current President Joe Biden, claiming that a mysterious network of advisers, referred to as a 'nefarious cabal,' has exploited Biden's cognitive decline to create chaos in the nation.

Trump's remarks come in the wake of Biden disclosing a late-stage prostate cancer diagnosis, which has prompted further scrutiny regarding his cognitive abilities.

While Trump has campaigned aggressively on issues of border security and immigration, vowing to enact the largest mass deportation plan in U.S. history, he shifted gears in his recent comments aimed at Biden.

On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump stated, "The Joe Biden everyone knows would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and mentally ill individuals to enter our country unchallenged or unchecked.

All anyone has to do is look at his record."

Trump emphasized that Biden was not in favor of open borders, contradicting claims made by his political opponents, and asserted that the true blame lies with those around Biden who are aware of his cognitive challenges.

He accused these individuals of usurping control of the presidency, alleging that they have endangered the nation and that such actions constitute "treason."

According to Trump, decisions made by Biden's administration—not Biden himself—have cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars in efforts to expel criminals from the country.

He has demanded severe penalties for anyone implicated in this alleged conspiracy, stating that "something very serious must happen to these treasonous evildoers who wanted to destroy our country, but failed because I was there with them."

Earlier this week, James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, claimed to have sought subpoenas for three key aides in the Biden administration—Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams—regarding the use of an Autopen device for signing documents.

Comer accused the Biden administration of obstructing the Committee's investigations by not making these aides available for testimony.

A recent report from a conservative watchdog group found that Biden has reportedly used the Autopen feature for significant documents.

The organization stated that "whoever controls the Autopen controls the presidency."

Despite the unexpected nature of Trump's remarks toward Biden, it is not the first instance where he has exhibited a kind of unexpected cordiality.

In 2020, Trump described Biden as "a very nice guy" and, following an assassination attempt against him in 2024, revealed that Biden had reached out to express concern for his well-being.

On his first day of a potential second Trump administration, he announced a national emergency concerning the southern border while initiating measures aimed at detaining immigrants.

During his election campaign, he frequently characterized the immigration crisis as a 'Biden invasion.' He has reiterated his intent to deport more than a million migrants whom he blames on Biden's policies.

Trump has criticized two immigration programs established by the Biden administration, designed to encourage migrants not to approach the southern border directly for asylum.

Under one such initiative, migrants from regions including Latin America can schedule appointments to seek asylum at official border crossings through a smartphone application known as CBP One.

In 2023, the Biden administration introduced a program allowing 30,000 individuals per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. if they have a financial sponsor, pass background checks, and purchase a plane ticket to an American airport.

Trump has articulated that reversing Biden's policies could remove over a million migrants from the U.S. His latest commentary aims to shift blame away from Biden himself and onto his inner circle amid growing scrutiny related to the use of the Autopen during the Biden administration.

Furthermore, high-ranking members of the current administration have raised questions regarding the level of awareness Biden possesses regarding what he is signing, given concerns over his cognitive decline.

This exchange comes shortly after Biden's cancer diagnosis prompted a rare moment of bipartisan sympathy, where politicians from across the spectrum expressed their best wishes for his recovery.

Trump emerged among the early sympathizers, stating, "Melania and I are saddened to hear the news of Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis.

We send our warmest and best wishes to Jill and her family, wishing Joe a swift and successful recovery.” However, discussions quickly resumed regarding how long Biden's aides had been allegedly withholding details about his health.
