Trump says Democrats staged a coup to get Biden off the polls [VIDEO]

After Joe Biden confirmed his announcement last night that he would not seek re-election from the Oval Office, former President Donald Trump bluntly described it as a “blow” to the Democratic Party during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Fox News.

“I think it was a coup,” Trump said. “They didn't want me to run. He was very low in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose. They went to see him and said, you can't win the race, which I think is true, unless I do something very stupid, which I wasn't going to do, and I think he was so down, and they said, 'You're not going to win, you're not in great shape, and you did poorly in the debate.' I think the debate started it all.” .

Trump singled out Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and former President Barack Obama for their roles in influencing Biden's decision.

“I also know that a lot of people on the other side went, and they forced him out between Pelosi and Obama and some others that you see on TV,” Trump declared. “It was interesting. I would watch them on TV and they act really well. “Oh yeah, we loved you, we loved you behind the scenes.” I know for a fact that they were brutal.”
