Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed his latest impression of Joe Biden much to the delight of this weekend's audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Lesser mainstream media described Trump's speech on Saturday, such as The Independent as “ominous” and The Guardian as “frightening.”
Which is laughable. Either they were not present or they were willfully ignorant. Maybe both.
Trump's speech at the event ranged from pointing out serious facts about the state of the nation to some light-hearted entertainment. At times, one felt like they were watching a routine show or attending a rock concert rather than sitting on their hands at a political convention.
The former president had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand.

Trump impresses fans with his new Biden impression
Trump's speech was full of entertaining moments, but one of the most well-received moments was his final impression of the sitting president.
“It's going like this,” Trump says before using Biden's mumbling voice. “Thank you. Where am I?”
Trump then moves to the side and does his impression that Biden is gesturing, something he often does for no particular reason after speeches.

After pointing out several times, Trump explains that Biden “always ends up going the other way.”
Then he fell under the impression that the elusive Biden was trying to find his way off the stage.
“If there was a wall behind him, he would end up walking into the wall,” Trump joked.

How does he do?
For those wondering how good Trump's impression of President Biden is, here are some examples of the point, the rambling, and the missing look in his eyes.

Forbes reported on Trump's impression of the president as his “mean impression of President Biden trying to get off stage.”
We couldn't disagree more. Impersonating an incompetent president is hardly about propping him up on stage for the world to see and then pretending it's not elder abuse.
It's time to support and share the sources you trust.
