3. "With every decision, Joe Biden twisted a knife into the hands and hearts of the American worker." [Sept. 21, 2021]

4. "For 47 years, Joe Biden viciously attacked Black Americans. He called young black men 'super predators.' To every black American: I am asking for your vote. This is your one and only chance to show Sleepy Joe what you think of his decision to attack you, jail you, and betray you!" [Nov. 2, 2020]

5. "He's following the radical left agenda: take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God. He's against God, he's against guns." [Aug. 10, 2020]

6. "Sleepy Joe Biden is just a Trojan Horse for the Radical Left Agenda. He will do whatever they want!" [Jul. 29, 2020]

[Jul. 31, 2022]

16. "I mean, the man can't speak. And he's going to be your president because some people don't love me, maybe." [Jun. 26, 2020]

22. "So pathetic to see Sleepy Joe Biden, who with his son, Hunter, and to the detriment of the American Taxpayer, has ripped off at least two countries for millions of dollars, calling for my impeachment - and I did nothing wrong. Joe's Failing Campaign gave him no other choice!" [Oct. 9, 2019]

24. "When needed, I wear masks. I don't wear masks like him. Every time you see him, he's got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from them, and he shows up with the biggest mask I've ever seen." [Sept. 29, 2020]

25. "Joe Hiden' gets off his airplane, grabs and shakes a rather stunned man's hand (like in the old days), then touches his (Joe's) face and mask with the same hand." [Sep. 3, 2020]

On whether Biden could beat him in a fight

35. "Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn't know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don't threaten people, Joe!" [Mar. 22, 2018]
