(MENAFN) Announcing that Joe Biden's address was the "most vile, hateful, and divisive ever delivered" by an American leader, Donald Trump called the US president an "enemy of the state."

The former president claimed that Biden "vilified" the 71 million supporters of Trump who cast ballots in his favor in the 2020 election while speaking at a rally on Saturday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

On Thursday, Biden asserted that Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans were "dominating, driving, and intimidating" the Republican Party. He accused them of standing for a "extreme ideology" and posed a "danger to this country."

“He's an enemy of the state, if you want to know the truth. The enemy of the state is him and the group that control him which is circling around him,” Trump asserted.

“By the way, the next morning he forgot what he said,” Trump remarked, raising laughter from the audience. He also blamed Biden of being “cognitively impaired and in no condition to lead our country.”

On Friday, Joe Biden back-pedaled on his MAGA remarks, stating he does not “consider any Trump supporter to be a threat to the country.”
