Donald Trump was unusually quiet after destroying Joe Biden during last week’s debate. It led to a seismic shift within the Democratic Party regarding confidence in the president’s ability to beat Trump and lead the country. The voters are convinced that Biden is too old, with brutal numbers to that effect: 72 percent think he’s too old to run for president. Biden is heading for a massive defeat on Election Day, but it’s still early.
Trump allowed Democratic Party infighting and whining to carry on for days, and it was effective. The Democrats were doing the heavy lifting in undercutting their nominee. However, a new video of Trump golfing shows the former president opening his mouth about his decisive win over Biden, where he claims he got Biden to quit the race. He also said that he’s unafraid of Kamala Harris, calling her pathetic (via Daily Beast):

Donald Trump has delivered a brutal assessment of Joe Biden’s performance against him in last week’s presidential debate, calling the president a “broken-down pile of crap” teetering on the verge of “quitting the race” in a video provided by a source to The Daily Beast.
“He just quit, you know—he’s quitting the race,” Trump says, sitting in a golf cart. “I got him out of the—and that means we have Kamala.”
It was not immediately clear where or when exactly the footage had been covertly filmed.
In the video, the former president asks the person holding the camera what they thought of his own debate performance. As he’s told he did “fantastic” and “amazing,” Trump blusters on flatly, “Look at that old, broken down pile of crap.
“It’s a bad guy,” he says, seemingly referring to Biden. After announcing that the president is quitting and handing the baton to Kamala, Trump continues, “I think she’s gonna be better” as an opponent.
“She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic,” he says, plucking at his gloves.
Did Trump mean Biden is physically stepping aside or mentally checked out of this race? The president was described as humiliated in the days following his drubbing from Trump. Frankly, both are possible: Biden’s mental limitations are acute, while his poll numbers have prominent Democrats trying to stage a 21st-century rendition of Julius Caesar.
Did Trump know he was being recorded during this exchange? With the few brain cells he has left, Biden would not kowtow and surrender if he saw something like this, especially considering his rival's reaction should he vacate the ticket. Some suggested it might be Trump ensuring Biden stays in the race with some soft psychological warfare. That’s why he’s clinging like grim death to his candidacy, reinforced by his psychopathic, power-hungry wife, Jill, and crack cocaine-addicted and money-grubbing son, Hunter. Trump knows the Left is out to get him, and he should react accordingly. However, after a few hours, it seems like this is another Trump ploy, with him intentionally "leaking" this video. It's a good move.
Before driving off, he did say they’re going to report that he’s probably quitting—probably being the operative word. Again, we don’t know when this was shot. As of today, Biden is still the Democratic Party nominee. The animosity between these two men is notable and long-standing.
I would say that fears that this video could shift focus away from Biden’s issues are now overblown. Biden's abysmal polling numbers, especially on the cognitive health questions, will keep most of the media's focus on the president's drama and whether he remains in the race, similar to how the media's reaction to the Fischer decision on January 6 defendants, which was handed down a day after the debate, was muted. It’s unlikely Trump on a golf course cursing out his opponent will overtake the news cycle. Too many Democrats are still melting down, adding more intrigue to Biden Replacement Theory.
UPDATE: And Biden's rapid response remains a dumpster fire:
