Trump Jabs At Biden Over What Keeps Him Up At Night: ‘He Was Better At Sleeping Than Me’

President Donald Trump took a jab at former President Joe Biden on Thursday, saying that Biden was “much better at sleeping” than he was and that thinking up ways to “save the country” often kept him up at night.

The president, who signed a bill Thursday that would block California’s ban on new gas-powered cars, joked about the fact that his predecessor had often been caught on camera relaxing and even sleeping at the beach — and said that was something that he himself was just not good at doing.

President Trump: “Unlike Biden, I stay awake at night thinking about how to save our country. He was much better at sleeping than me. He could sleep on a beach with cameras rolling. I can’t do that.”

“I may have to force something,” Trump said. “Somebody said, ‘Who’s the genius who thought of that?’ And I said, ‘It’s me.'”

“Unlike Biden, I stay awake at night thinking about how to save our country. He was much better at sleeping than me,” Trump continued, prompting laughter from around the room. “He could sleep on a beach, he could sleep on a beach with cameras rolling. I can’t do that.”

Later on in his remarks, Trump took another shot at Biden — this time with regard to his administration’s policies, saying, “The previous administration — the previous administration — I could go point after point, everything they did. Open borders, men playing in women’s sports, transgender for everybody — everybody, let’s go transgender. What a group of people. They must have hated our country.”
