US President Donald Trump called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a "world-class chess player" along with the heads of China, North Korea and Turkey — Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un and Tayyip Erdogan.
At the same time, the head of state once again noted that his rival in the upcoming elections, Joe Biden, would not compete with them. This opinion was expressed at a speech in the state of Wisconsin.
Trump also criticized Biden and hinted that if his rival became President, he would not be able to interact with world leaders as well as his predecessor.
Earlier, the American President has already contrasted Biden with Putin, Xi Jinping and Erdogan, noting that they are smart, and his democratic rival should pass a mental ability test.
Biden, if elected, would become the oldest US President in history — he will be 78 years old, four years older than Trump. Talk about his mental abilities is caused by regular reservations that the politician allows.
