Former US president Bill Clinton, who has taunted Republican nominee Donald Trump multiple times over being younger than the latter, yet again mocked the former president on Thursday for an awkward dance earlier this week.
“I’m only two months younger than Donald Trump. I will not spend 30 minutes swaying back and forth to music. I will not clap off beat, nor will I pretend to be a conductor,” the democratic veteran said while campaigning in Durham, North Carolina for Kamala Harris.
Earlier on Monday, after several disturbances during a town hall event, Trump apparently decided to stop taking questions and instead swayed onstage to music. However, the bizarre event has prompted the Kamala Harris campaign to allege that Donald Trump was lost, confused and frozen for 30 minutes at the Pennsylvania townhall as the audience started leaving and Trump swayed from side to side in the tune of the background music.
“Hope he’s okay,” Kamala Harris posted sharing a video of Donald Trump swaying and nodding.
Responding to the Democratic nominee’s campaign, Trump supporters have claimed that the Kamala Harris campaign doctored the video.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time the Democratic veteran has compared his age to Donald Trump’s. During the Democratic National Convention in August, referenced his own age in a lighthearted jab at former president Trump. “I actually turned 78 two days ago,” Clinton had said.
“The only personal vanity I want to assert is that I’m still younger than Donald Trump.”
Clinton, who was president from 1993 to 2001, is 78.
Democratic veterans like Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama have ramped up their election campaigning for Kamala Harris to make it to the oval office. Earlier this week , Bill Clinton visited a McDonald’s in Georgia as part of a final push for the 2024 election to rally voters for Kamala Harris. On Thursday, he accompanied Harris’s running mate Governor Tim Walz to push for their prospects to win the election, which is to happen in less than a month. He praised Harris for choosing Walz as her running mate.
