"A great decision, he can’t put two sentences together. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE HIM – would be “RATINGS GOLD!"
Speaking to conservative podcaster Dan Bongino, Trump repeated the offer.
"He can't do it because he can't talk," Trump said amid Biden's refusal.
"I'll take his spot at the Super Bowl if they want, we'll get very good ratings."
