Trump Sides With Dictator Kim, Joins Him In Attacking ‘Low IQ’ Biden At Japan Presser
President Trump on Monday ripped into Joe Biden during a press conference in Tokyo, Japan, agreeing with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s characterization of the former vice president as “low IQ.”
Asked whether he was siding with a foreign dictator over a vice president from his own country, Trump doubled down on his attacks.
“Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ individual. He probably is based on his record. I think I agree with him on that,” Trump said while standing alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Trump also attacked the Obama administration’s foreign policy with regards to North Korea and Iran, singling out the Iran nuclear deal as “a disaster.”
“I don’t take sides as to who I’m in favor of, who I’m not,” Trump added. “But I can tell you that Joe Biden was a disaster. His administration with President Obama, they were basically a disaster when it came to so many things.”
Trump then said he’s “not a fan” of the Obama administration’s handling of the economy and the military.
Trump had drawn criticism on Sunday for a tweet he’d sent that said he “smiled” when Kim attacked “Bidan” as “a low IQ individual.”
