Trump in an early morning Twitter spree retweeted nearly 60 posts, most of which knocked Biden and his 2020 presidential campaign.
Trump “welcomed” Biden to the campaign trail last week, calling him “Sleepy Joe” in a post on Twitter.
Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty – you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!

Trump has reportedly rebuffed advice to ignore Biden from his political advisers, who worry the president risks elevating the former vice president’s profile, according to CNN.
Biden has shown a penchant for firing back at Trump, saying in a tweet earlier this week that he is “sick of this president badmouthing unions.”
Biden is leading the Democratic field in several early polls.
