Trump says Biden's biggest strength should be his experience but the Democrat 'doesn't remember what he did yesterday' in new Memorial Day interview
President Donald Trump said former Vice President Joe Biden was never known as a 'smart person' as he struggled to name positive things about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
In a brief clip for Sunday's 'Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson', Trump quickly lambasted Biden as being forgetful when asked what Biden's 'strongest feature' was as a competitor.
'Well I would have said experience but he doesn't really have experience because I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday,' the president said in the brief interview segment.

'So how is that experience. He has been there a long time. He was never known as a smart person.'
When asked to name one good thing about Biden, Trump could not think of something off the top of his head.
But when asked about negatives things, he claimed he could 'talk about weak points all day long.'
Trump has tried to present Biden, who at 77 is four years older than him, as addled and out of it, suggesting often that his staff does the work for him.
Earlier in the month, Biden bumbled his way through a 'virtual roundtable' he hosted, where he spoke about soaring unemployment levels.
He wrongly claimed 85,000 jobs had been lost in the US as a result of COVID-19, and millions of Americans had died.
Speaking to Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Biden stumbled his way through an April interview on CNN when talking about Trump's pandemic response.

After a long-winded reply about a lack of testing, Biden said: 'You know, there's a uh, during World War II, uh, you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing uh, that uh, you know, was totally different than a, than the, the, it's called, he called it the, you know, the World War II, he had the war the War Production Board.
'I don't know why we don't set up something like a pandemic production board.'
President Trump's appearance on 'Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson' is scheduled to air on Sinclair sites at 9.30am EDT on Sunday.
Almost 100,000 have died from the coronavirus in recent months and some 39million Americans have filed for unemployment as the pandemic wreaks havoc on the U.S.
A recent poll from AP's NORC Center for Public Affairs Research has shown that just 41 per cent of American's approve of his job performance. But the president praises his administration's performance.
'Well I would have said experience but he doesn't really have experience because I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday,' the president said. The pair pictured with former President Obama on January 20, 2017

'No country has ever done better than what we were doing just a number of months ago and we had to turn it off to save a lot of lives, which we've done,' Trump said. 'And now we're opening it up again and I think we're going to get our economy back fast.'
Trump also blamed China for why the pandemic has caused so much damage to the American way of life.
'They could have stopped it. Either it was incompetent or they didn't want to – both are not very acceptable,' he said.
