Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into Joe Biden’s actions during his presidency, accusing aides of a “conspiracy” to “deceive the public about Biden’s mental state”.

In this latest move to discredit his predecessor, Trump took aim at the aides’ use of an autopen - a device that replicates signatures which presidents, including Trump, have used for decades - to sign executive actions.

“This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history,” Trump said on Wednesday.

Biden slammed Trump’s move as “ridiculous”, saying his claims are aimed at distracting Americans as his administration works to extend tax breaks for the wealthy.

    Another distraction to get everyone looking at his right hand while he does something else with his left.

    What’s he doing that he doesn’t want us to notice. What were we talking about last week that we’re not talking about this week. What’s he doing this week that we’re not talking about because we’re talking about robot-clone Joe.

    Don’t fall for it. This guy is so transparent it’s pathetic.
