Trump Drops a Crude New Nickname for Biden at Wild Pennsylvania Rally

Donald Trump still isn’t over Joe Biden, and he made that crystal clear Tuesday night in the Poconos. Speaking to a packed house in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, Trump decided to retire the old classics—“Sleepy Joe” and “Crooked Joe”—and try out something a lot sharper and a whole lot dirtier.

He was bragging about how he doesn’t need fancy polls anymore because the size of his crowds tells him everything he needs to know. Then, mid-rant, he let it rip:

“I go to these arenas, 20,000 people show up, and I ask them: ‘Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe?’ And you know what? I saved myself millions on polling because Crooked Joe always wins the crowd vote. I’m actually shocked, because to me the guy’s a sleepy son of a bitch.”

The crowd roared. Classic Trump—no filter, straight off the cuff.

He also went after Rep. Ilhan Omar pretty hard, bringing up the old (and repeatedly debunked) rumor that she married her brother, mocking the way she dresses, calling Somalia a “hellhole,” the whole nine yards.

At one point he complained that the immigration chart on stage looked like “shit” compared to the famous one from Butler that he says saved his life when the assassin missed him by inches.

“This is crazy,” he laughed, “I haven’t done one of these in a while. When you win big, you think ‘Okay, I can finally chill.’”

He gave a shout-out to his chief of staff Susie Wiles—jokingly calling her “Susie Trump” for a second—and then went off on a tangent about how people supposedly stopped saying “chief of staff” because it offended Native Americans, but now apparently the tribes want it back. (It was one of those classic Trump stream-of-consciousness moments.)

The rally was technically about grocery prices and the economy, but he barely touched the teleprompter. An hour and a half in, he admitted it himself:

“I haven’t read a damn thing off that stupid teleprompter. My speechwriters are probably winning awards for these beautiful speeches and I didn’t even look at them.”

Meanwhile, the economy talk got messy fast. He keeps blaming Biden for inflation (even though prices started climbing again after his own massive new tariffs kicked in this spring). Economists warned it would happen, and it did, but Trump still insists his tariffs are bringing prices “way down.”

It was pure, unscripted Trump—crude, all over the place, and exactly what his crowd came to see.
