'Here is another 'cheap fake' video': Trump campaign mocks Biden over footage of him getting into a SUV as White House insists clips are 'edited'
- White House is furious at reporting of Biden 'freezing'
- Latest video shows Biden struggling to get out of an SUV
A video of President Biden struggling to climb into an SUV has been shared by Donald Trump's campaign in response to the White House mocking similar clips as 'cheap fakes'.
The 'Trump War Room' Twitter account posted a video to X of Biden having a 'hard time' getting into his ride.
Trump campaing senior advisor Chris LaCivita wrote in the post: 'Here is another 'cheap fake' video.'
Another Trump senior advisor, Jason Miller, said: 'Is it ableist to ask why the F Joe Biden can't even get into a car without help?'
The post shows how Biden's age and mental capacity will continue to come under attack during the campaign.
Donald Trump's camp is pushing out videos of President Joe Biden slowly getting into his SUV on a trip to Delaware
Just five months before Election Day, even small clips of Biden briefly stuttering or mangling words are being shared on social media.
The Trump camp is laying the foundation eight days before Biden, 81, will face off against Trump, 78, in the first presidential debate, which will give millions of Americans the chance to compare the two candidates.
The latest video shows Biden entering his armored SUV after landing in Delaware on a trip to his beach house. A Secret Service agent positions himself to protect the president while he carefully positions himself and speaks to another person in the vehicle.

Biden spent Juneteenth at his Delaware beach house
'Excuse me, I did not know not dancing was a mental – was a health issue,' White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, defending the president's dance-free moments at a Juneteenth celebration at the White HOuse
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to brand videos of President Biden being led off stage or freezing during events as 'cheap fakes'
Biden often uses the smaller alternative to 'The Beast,' his armored limo, when visiting his Rehoboth beach house.
The Trump camp's push comes after days of scrutiny of videos of Biden 'freezing' during public events. Videos that have gone viral have included clips of Biden greeting a parachutist after walking away from other world leaders at the G7, and standing motionless for a few sentence while other people grooved at a White House Juneteenth celebration.
Another clip had him standing still while former President Obama pointed and waived to cheering supporters, then guided Biden to the exits. That event came after Biden had fielded questions for about half an hour from talk host Jimmy Kimmel.
The White House has blasted conservatives for deliberately amplifying or misconstruing information, with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calling them 'cheap fakes.'
'It's also very insulting to the folks, the viewers who are watching it. And so we believe we have to call that out. We've been calling it cheap fakes. That is something that came directly from the media outlets in calling it that, the fact-checkers and calling it that. And so we're certainly going to be really, really clear about that as well. And calling it out from where we are, from where we stand,' she said Tuesday on MSNBC.
The White House didn't immediately respond to a question about the limo video on Wednesday, a federal holiday Biden signed into law.
Trump himself has had some stumbles, such as when at a weekend campaign rally he demanded Biden take a cognitive test, only to repeatedly get the name wrong of former White House physician and Texas Rep. Dr. Ronny Jackson. (Trump called him Ronny Johnson).
