NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — As former President Donald Trump addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, he repeatedly mocked President Joe Biden, impersonating him stumbling around a stage during remarks that lasted an hour and a half.
“He always points, like where am I, thank you,” Trump said, imitating Biden pointing. “And then he points, and then he ends up going in the opposite direction.”

“If there’s a wall behind him, he ends up walking into the wall,” he added to laughs.
The comedic bit reflects the impressions he routinely unleashes at his rallies on the campaign trail, impersonating Biden, 81, with an over-the-top exaggeration and mocking the commander in chief.
“When I imitate him with the stairs, he can never find his way. Do you ever see — Secret Service runs up and grabs him, helps him off the stairs,” Trump exclaimed. “This is what we have negotiating nuclear weapons,” he said as the crowd applauded.
Trump, 77, continued improvising during his speech before the friendly crowd, which at times appeared to be completely off the cuff.
“Isn’t this better than reading off a teleprompter? Anyone can do that except for Biden. He can’t do that either,” Trump said as the crowd cheered.

After a long detour in his speech, Trump predicted media would paint him as cognitively impaired. But the former president declared his rambling quite the opposite and “total genius.”
With all signs pointing to a Trump-Biden rematch, voters are likely going to have to choose between Trump, who will be 78 in November, or Biden, who will be 82. The person inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025, likely will be the oldest person ever sworn in as president of the United States. The median age of previous presidents at inauguration was 55, according to the Pew Research Center.
