Trump said, ” His comments — look. Joe is not playing with a full deck. He made that comment. I said, whoa. I saw it. That was on — something. I had a television. I saw his comments. Joe Biden is not playing with a full deck. This is not somebody you can have as your president. But if he got the nomination, I’d be thrilled.”
Here is the mistake that Biden made, which he immediately corrected in seconds:

Biden’s campaign blasted Trump for being disingenuous, “Joe Biden has spent his life fighting for civil rights and the dignity of all people. The Trump campaign posting the video without the Vice President’s immediate correction is patently disingenuous — and it’s no coincidence this comes days after Joe Biden laid out how this president emboldens white nationalism and embraces racism.”

Trump is trying to distract From his own instability and lack of character
Trump and his campaign are fishing on Joe Biden because it is all that they have. However, Donald Trump making the argument that his potential 2020 challenger is too mentally unfit to be president is not a fight that Republicans are going to win. Biden showed more empathy and compassion in a misstatement that Trump has shown during his entire presidency. If the choice ends up being between an honest, good person who sometimes misspeaks, and a criminal who cares about no one but himself, the good guy is probably going to win.
That is what Trump fears and why his digging for reasons to disqualify Joe Biden.
