The former President praises several foreign leaders as being “very street-smart” people who “know what they are doing” and are “at the top of their game" without naming them.

During a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Saturday, former US president Donald Trump took the chance to call the current President “the most corrupt president in American history.”

“We have somebody that’s not at the top of his game,” Trump said at the Erie Insurance Arena. “Never was at the top of his game. We have a guy who is a dumb son of a b*tch.”

Trump also used the stage to bring up several legal issues in which he remains involved, including a federal indictment, set for next May, for illegally retaining classified government information at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

He is rumored to have another federal indictment related to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol.

“They waited two-and-a-half, almost three years, so that they could bring this right up in the middle of my presidential election because it’s election interference,” Trump said, adding, “They’re not indicting me; they’re indicting you. I just happen to be standing in their way.”

Trump also used the same 'SOB' term to describe his Republican rival Ron DeSantis, saying financial donations toward his rivals only serve to strengthen Biden’s efforts at being re-elected.

Further, the former President praised several foreign leaders as being “very street-smart” people who “know what they are doing” and are “at the top of their game" but did not name them.

He previously echoed such a statement earlier this month, when he argued that Biden is being outsmarted and outmaneuvered by world leaders such as Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and French President Emmanuel Macron. “These people are sharp, tough, and generally vicious, they’re vicious, and they’re at the top of their game. We have a man who has no clue what’s happening. It’s the most dangerous time in the history of our country.”

On a separate note, he noted that a free and fair system of press is no longer present in the country, comparing media coverage of his legal issues to what he called “Biden crime family’s corrupt business dealings.”

“Fake news is all you get,” Trump stressed. “They refuse to discuss the Biden crime family, but enjoy covering the false indictments of Donald Trump, who has done nothing wrong.”

At the same rally, he said about Biden that "when we [Republicans under his leadership] win the election a little more than a year from now, I will appoint a real special prosecutor to expose the monumental corruption of the Biden crime family once and for all."
