Donald Trump went on a Truth Social rant to slam the former first lady Jill Biden, as she was worried about Joe Biden’s health. His post was in reference to the 2024 presidential debate against Trump when Jill thought Joe was having a stroke. During the debate, Joe froze at different moments, stumbled over his words and also looked disoriented.

After this revelation, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards.”

He further added, “She said that she thought he was having a ‘stroke,’ and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do.”

Jill appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning and recollected the events of the 2024 debate. She was scared and clueless about what was happening to Joe. She told the show’s host Rita Braver, “I was frightened, because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never. I don’t know what happened.” She explained, “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”

Trump concluded his post by bragging about his performance in the debate. He said that Jill failed to mention how well he was doing before Joe’s collapse. Trump wrote, “In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple “choke,” leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!”

After Joe’s poor debate performance, he stepped down from the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris for the role. As for his health, he did not have a stroke but confirmed his cancer diagnosis in May 2025.

Several X users agreed with Trump’s remarks. One user noted, “Trump is spot on here. Jill Biden knew—all along—that her husband’s mental and physical health was rapidly declining. She knew it prior to the 2020 election and watched his condition drastically worsen while he was in office.”

Another one took a dig, “The Dems didn’t medicate him on purpose. That was the plan.” Some people criticized Trump, “That reply is quite insensitive.” Another one posted, “Sleepy Donnie remembering his old battles with Sleepy Joe.”

Trump has been caught on camera with his eyes closed for an extended period of time. It may be due to his erratic sleep schedule. As confirmed by several Trump administration members, he often works till late.

However, one expert surgeon said it may also be a sign of a stroke. The surgeon noted Trump may have suffered a stroke sometime in 2025. The expert pointed out Trump’s gait and garbled words. He also noted Trump’s use of aspirin, which is given during stroke recovery. Meanwhile, the 79-year-old president, who’ll be turning 80 in June, claims it’s for heart health.
