Trump says Biden had
the 'right to run,' but Dem Party 'took it away'
"We have somebody that hasn’t received one vote for president, and she’s running, and that’s fine with me, but we were given Joe Biden, and now we’re given somebody else. I think, frankly, I’d rather be running against somebody else, but that was their choice.
"The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden, and I’m no Biden fan. From a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took the presidency away, and people are saying he lost after the debate and he couldn’t win.
"Whether he could win or he couldn’t, when he had the right to run, and they took it away, and they said they would use the 25th Amendment.
"Now I’m running against somebody else, and we’re leading. We’re leading — so I’m not complaining. I’m saying, for a country with a Constitution that we cherish — we cherish this Constitution — to have done it this way is pretty severe, pretty horrible.
"But just to take it away from him like he was a child?" Trump said, adding that Biden is "a very angry man right now.
"I can tell you that he’s not happy with Obama, and he’s not happy with Nancy Pelosi. He’s not happy with any of the people that told him ‘you’ve got to leave.’ He’s very unhappy, very angry."
Trump said he thinks Biden "also blames" Harris.
"He’s trying to put up a good face, but it is a very bad thing in terms of a country when you do that. I’m not a fan of his, as you probably have noticed, and he had a rough debate, but that doesn’t mean that you just take it away like that."
Trump said he is "very happy to run against" Harris, and said he "hates to be defending" Biden, but pointed to the Constitution again.
"We have a Constitution. It's a very important document, and we live by it. She has no votes, and I'm very happy to run against her. I'm not complaining from that standpoint. And I hate to be defending him, but he did not want to leave. He wanted to see if he could win," Trump said. "They said, 'You're not going to win.' After the debate, they said, 'You're not going to win. You can't win. You're out.'"
Trump said Democrats, after successfully pressuring Biden to drop out of the race, "just picked a person."
Trump said he thinks Biden "regrets" tapping Harris as vice president.
"He picked her and she turned on him, too. She was working with the people that wanted him out," he said. "But the fact that you can get no votes, lose in the primary system. In other words, you had 14 or 15 people. She was the first one out, and that you can then be picked to run for president.
"It seems, seems to me actually unconstitutional. Perhaps it's not."
