President Joe Biden on Saturday called Donald Trump “clearly unhinged” and claimed that “something snapped” in the former president after he lost the 2020 election.

“It’s clear that … when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,” Biden told supporters in Seattle at a private fundraiser Saturday, according to reporters in the room. “He’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he’s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what he’s telling people.”

Even though Biden thinks the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is “unhinged,” he said he believes the November election will be “close.”

“We feel good about the state of the race, but we know the race is close,” Biden said, pointing to recent polls.

    Oh, definitely, but if you tell someone they previously voted for a total moron they’re not going to vote for you. If everyone knows and has always known they’re a moron but you say they just became a moron they might vote for you as you didn’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.

        … and I reserve the right to judge them if their actions lead to people dying (i.e. anti-choice folks). I, at least, don’t permanently judge people. People can grow and become better - if they’re willing to put in the effort.

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