Biden camp hits 'deranged' Trump after 'slurred' speech at NRA rally
Trump's cozying up to the NRA had the Biden campaign gunning for fair treatment.
"Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he's confused, deranged, lying or worse," TJ Ducklo, a spokesman for Biden’s 2024 presidential reelection campaign said in a statement following the 45th president's speech at the National Rifle Association (NRA) Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Friday night.
"Tonight he lied more than two dozen times, slurred his words, confused basic facts and placated the gun lobby weeks after telling parents to 'get over it' after their kids were gunned down at school," he wrote.

Before a crowd of thousands of NRA members, Former President Donald Trump vowed that should he win in the next election, “no one will lay a finger on your firearms.”
The 45th president bragged about his pro-gun policies when he was commander-in-chief.
“During my four years nothing happened," he said. "And there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing. We didn’t yield,” he said as he addressed the NRA’s.
Ducklo called out Trump for his missteps and took a shot at the lack of criticism by the press and other forms of media.
"But you won't hear about any of it if you watch cable news, read this weekend's papers, or watch the Sunday shows," he said.
The tenor appeared to take offense at how Trump's suspected public slips are nary mentioned one day after President Joe Biden mistook the president of Mexico for Egypt during a press conference called to refute accusations that his mental fitness was in question.
The president of Mexico did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in," Biden said. "I talked to him. I convinced him to open the gate."
The Biden campaign's statement cautioned against being too hands-off with Trump's candidacy, stating that “the American people are the ones who will suffer and die if he’s allowed anywhere near the Oval Office again.”
