'It Was A Coup!': Trump Says President Biden Hates Obama And Pelosi, Is An 'Angry Man' Confined To The First Night Of Democratic National Convention

On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took to Truth Social to respond to recent reports that President Joe Biden is still angry with his fellow Democrats who pushed him out of the presidential race last month. After previously hypothesizing that Biden would try to seize back the nomination at the Democratic National Convention next week in Chicago, Trump posted on Truth Social that Biden's exit from the race was effectively a coup and that he was being humiliated at the DNC.

"Kamala Harris wants NOTHING TO DO WITH CROOKED JOE BIDEN. They are throwing him out on the Monday Night Stage, known as Death Valley," Trump wrote on Truth Social about the first night of the Democratic National Convention. "He now HATES Obama and Crazy Nancy more than he hates me! He is an angry man, as he should be. They stole the Presidency from him — 'It was a Coup!'"

As reported by POLITICO, President Biden remains angry at the top Democrats, such as former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), for orchestrating a campaign to oust him from the race following a disastrous debate performance in June. According to sources close to the president, Biden views Pelosi as "ruthless" and is willing to sacrifice personal relationships that have lasted decades to ensure that the Democratic Party can survive the upcoming election and prevent Donald Trump from obtaining a second term. In a recent interview, the president told CBS News about the pressure he was feeling from congressional Democrats, like Pelosi, to exit the race. "And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic," Biden said. "You'd be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did so — and — and I thought it'd be a real distraction."

Biden's close advisors also believed that if Biden decided to stay in the race past July 21, then Pelosi would be even more forceful with her demands that he leave by possibly publicly making it known that she believed he couldn't defeat Trump in November. She has asserted that she didn't make any phone calls to Democrat members about the president during the weeks after the debate but did take phone calls from members asking for advice. "I wasn't the leader of any pressure," Pelosi claimed in a recent "CBS Sunday Morning" interview. "Let me say things I didn't do. I didn't call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody. What I'm saying is I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be, and I said that. Whatever that is, we'll go with."

While the former speaker has adamantly denied her involvement in forcing Biden out, she has attempted to get back in his good graces through flattery. In various interviews to advertise her new book, "The Art of Power," Pelosi has expressed her support of President Biden and his agenda, going as far as suggesting that Biden should be added to Mount Rushmore. "He was in a good place to make whatever decision, top of his game. Such a consequential president of the United States., a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States," she said.

The Democratic Party has proven itself to be, in the president's words, a "ruthless" machine that is willing to prioritize electoral wins over the personal wishes of anyone, even the president of the United States and the 14 million Democratic primary voters who supported him. The power of political parties has waned over the past few decades, but the Democrats seem to have a far stronger party apparatus than the Republican Party, and perhaps the GOP could learn a thing or two from the opposing side.
