Donald Trump, Former US President, has expressed sympathy for President Joe Biden after falling from a bicycle, in a rare moment of goodwill between the two political rivals.
Trump, speaking at his American Freedom Tour in Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday, said of Biden, “I hope he recovers, as you know, he fell off his bicycle today.”
“No, I’m serious. I hope he’s okay. He fell off a bicycle,” Trump said after the crowd responded with laughter.

“But no, we hope Biden is okay because he was a hard fall, he was scary. He was tough. Did anyone see it? Well, we wish him well in that regard.”
Trump’s brief moment of concern for Biden came amid a largely critical speech from his successor.
After discussing the bicycle incident, Trump immediately criticized Biden’s foreign policy, particularly his attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.
