During a Tuesday speech to the Detroit Economic Club, President Trump imitated former President Joe Biden’s pre-speech cough while contrasting his own off-the-cuff style with Biden’s brief addresses, which he joked lasted ‘a matter of seconds.’ He also called Biden ‘high as a kite’ during his 2024 State of the Union. Some viewers found the routine funny, praising it as trolling Biden’s ‘lousy speeches,’ while others labeled it a cruel jab given Biden’s May 2025 diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer that spread to his bones. The event focused mainly on economic boasts like strong GDP growth, but the nine-second clip highlighted ongoing partisan divides.
