On his Instagram handle on Thursday (local time), Trump, who is leading the 2024 GOP presidential race, shared a 30-second clip, featuring unpleasant shots of Biden, with a gentle voiceover in the style of retirement living TV commercials. In the video, the US President can be seen enjoying pizza, ice-creams and outdoor activities.

“Our vibrant facility offers delightful activities and outings, around-the-clock professional care and exquisite house-made meals,” the narrator explains.

"White House senior living, where residents feel like presidents," it concludes.

“It’s time to end White House Senior Living,” another user said.

“WHITE HOUSE Senior living. Our residents feel good within the walls of the White House nursing home! Life is in full swing, a lot of different activities, trips to nature. 24-hour professional care and exclusive home cooking." White House” nursing home — feel like a president!" one more X user wrote.

Trump mocks Biden for being lost and confused on stage

Last year, Trump has mocked Biden’s frequent blunders and mishaps on stage during a speech at the California Republican Party convention.

The ex-US President questioned 80-year-old president's mental and physical fitness to serve another term as president. He said that Biden often appeared lost and confused in public, failing to find his way off the stage after delivering speeches.

Trump even imitated Biden’s awkward stage exits by pretending to be disoriented and unable to locate the stairs behind the podium. He spun around in circles, walked up to the wall, and threw his hands up in despair, as the crowd laughed and cheered.

“Where the hell am I?” Trump exclaimed.

“I’ve never seen this stupid stage before. I’ve never seen it. But if I walk left there’s a stair and if I walk right there’s a stair,” he added.
