Donald Trump has slammed President Joe Biden once again, suggesting something is not 'normal' with his successor and listing perceived shortfalls exactly one year after Biden took office.
In a phone interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday, Trump said of Biden 'I want him to do well', but went on to reel off a litany of complaints about the Democrat's first year.
Trump lashed out at Biden over mostly familiar topics, including the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan, soaring inflation, and a surge of illegal crossings at the southern border.
He also slammed Biden's press conference on Wednesday, saying the president gave a 'green light' to Russia to invade Ukraine by pondering a limited response to a 'minor incursion,' remarks that the White House hastily walked back.
Asked whether Biden seemed to be 'struggling cognitively', Trump responded: 'When you watch the press conference, I don't want to be the one to say, but that's not a normal situation going on there.'

Biden's press conference, his first formal one in 10 months, immediately sparked controversy and concern over his comments on Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was among those expressing concern about Biden's 'minor incursion' remark.
'We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones,' he tweeted.
Biden and top administration officials worked Thursday to clean up his comments.
Reading from a script, Biden stressed that if 'any assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion" and it would be met with a "severe and coordinated economic response.'
Trump in his interview slammed Biden's performance in the press conference and zeroed in on his controversial remarks on Russia.
'What he said last night, when he said "They may go in, they will go in," and he talks about a minor incursion. I said, I don't believe he said that,' said Trump.
