Trump’s mockery of Biden over his stutter was widely seen as offensive and inappropriate. He said of Biden at a rally: “I would talk about a person who’s a disaster, who’s done a terrible job. I’m talking about Sleepy Joe—he’s a disaster. No, no, don’t ‘yes yes’ me. You’ve got to be able to respond. You’ve got to be able to respond. I used to think that he was semi-intelligent. And now, I’m beginning to think that he doesn’t even understand what’s going on. He can’t put two sentences together.”
Biden later responded in an interview, saying, “I’ve worked my whole life to overcome a stutter. And it’s my great honor to mentor kids who have experienced the same. It’s called courage. Mr. President, do you have the courage to do the same?”
Trump’s comments were widely criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for being insensitive and inappropriate. Biden’s response was praised for its strength and confidence.
