Trump targets Biden during economic speech

President Donald Trump has revived his campaign persona in the battleground state of Michigan, touting his policy victories while aiming, once again, at Joe Biden, who he claimed was propped up by drugs in his final days in office. Addressing the Detroit Economic Club on Tuesday afternoon in a speech that was supposed to focus primarily on the economy, the Republican once again zoned in on his predecessor. 'You ever notice Joe would cough before his speech?' Trump asked. He then imitated Biden's cough by making several deeply guttural groans, a favorite of Trump's rhetorical repertoire.
