President Joe Biden heading to Camp David for up to a week of preparations for his upcoming debate is not a show of confidence, Eric Trump argued on Sunday.
The son of former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” about expectations for the event.
“It’s pretty telling,” he said, “of a president who has to go to Camp David in the middle of the woods and lock himself effectively in a bunker” for so long.
Biden’s “policies are so bad that he has to figure out some way to polish them up and try and sugarcoat them” with his advisers, Eric Trump said.
Drawing a contrast, Eric Trump said his father takes debate prep “seriously” but “he’s doing what he does. He’s going all over the place campaigning.”
CNN is poised to hold the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election cycle in Atlanta next Thursday, giving the rivals 90 minutes on the air.
Biden travelled to Camp David last Thursday evening to make preparations and may stay at the Maryland retreat up until his face-off with the elder Trump.
“I’m not exactly sure if that’s if that’s a big showing of confidence,” Eric Trump quipped, remarking on Biden potentially staying at Camp David for a week.
He also pictured Biden at the retreat “trying to memorize lines, again, to explain horrible policy decisions that he’s made over the last three and a half years.”
The AP reported Donald Trump will stay on the campaign trail until he returns to his Florida estate for two days of meetings and informal debate prep.
Eric Trump predicted CNN will give Biden a “free pass” while taking the opportunity to “hit” his father during the debate.
When asked if he was on board with the rules CNN has set for the debate and the “playing field” heading into the event, the Trump son expressed confidence.
“I’m comfortable with my father. He’s got — he’s got the right message. He’s got the love of America behind him,” Eric Trump said.
“And he’s going to do — he’s going to do awesome,” Eric Trump added. “He always does. He’s good to go.”
