President Donald Trump has issued an astonishing defense of Joe Biden, claiming a shadowy network of advisors took advantage of his cognitive decline in the White House and wreaked havoc on the country.

Trump campaigned with a tough-on-borders approach, vowing to embark on the largest mass deportation scheme the United States has ever seen and slamming the Democrats for opening the flood-gates during their time in office.

He has consistently targeted Biden for his lack of action while in the Oval Office.

Now, just days after Biden revealed he had been diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer and amid increasing scrutiny about his cognitive ability, Trump has given the former Commander-in-Chief some unexpected grace.

'The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted,' he said in a Tuesday afternoon Truth Social post.
