Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Hamas attacked Israel because President Joe Biden is a ‘laughingstock’ and hinted that he believed the 80-year-old president was on drugs. 

Trump headlined a ‘Club 47’ event in West Palm Beach, over the bridge from his Mar-a-Lago Florida estate, which was attended by Rep. Matt Gaetz, who blew up House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s speakership. Comedian Roseanne Barr was seated in the front row. 

‘I was also proud to be the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House by far. And if the election wasn’t rigged there would be nobody even thinking about going into Israel,’ Trump boasted, adding, ‘but we’ll swamp them the next time.’ 

Trump said that with ‘crooked’ President Joe Biden ‘you have chaos, bloodshed, war, terror, and death. 

‘Look whats happening today, because the occupant of the White House is a laughingstock,’ Trump added, alluding to this weekend’s Hamas terror attack in Israel.

‘All over the world, America’s enemies cannot believe how lucky they got. They got real lucky,’ the ex-president continued. ‘Every monster, villain, dictator and terrorist –  and there are plenty of them, I know most of them, I got to know a lot of them – all over the planet they are having a field day because they know they will never have it better than they have it with crooked Joe.’

Trump envisioned that Israel ‘would be flourishing, they would be happy,’ had he still been in the White House. 

‘Forty-five babies had their heads cut off today,’ Trump said, prompting gasps from the audience. ‘But Israel would be flourishing, they would have no problem.’ 

Throughout his 100-minute speech, Trump, 77, mocked Biden for having senior moments, calling him ‘incompetent’ and a bevy of other names.

‘He can’t get off a stage,’ Trump said. 

‘The other day he tried to get off a stage. Now look, I’m up here now, there are a lot of people, there’s a lot of television going crazy. There’s so much,’ Trump said. ‘But when I’m finished I’m going to look over there, I’m going to see an exit. I’m going to look over – I can take that one, that one. But what I can’t do is walk through the back wall.’ 

He then pushed, without evidence, that the president was taking drugs.

‘You know what happens after about 20 minutes the stuff that he’s taking wears off,’ Trump said. ‘So he gets a little groggy. Gets a little bit groggy. They say, Get him off the stage that s***’s wearing off man! Get him off!”‘ 

‘No, no, no, and I’m sure that the cocaine that they found in the White House … I feel certain that it had nothing to do with Hunter and Joe,’ the ex-president continued. ‘”Here dad, have a little bit of this stuff, it’s going to liven you up a little bit,”‘ Trump said, faux quoting the first son. 

Trump opened up the evening by whacking some of his GOP opponents before spending some time talking about Israel. 

He gloated about being so far ahead in South Carolina despite being rivals with the state’s former governor and current senator, former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley and Sen. Time Scott. 

Signs previewing Trump’s appearance at the Palm Beach County Convention Center said, ‘Florida is Trump country,’ despite the state’s governor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, also in the race. 

‘When you get somebody elected you don’t run,’ Trump complained of DeSantis, who he endorsed in a GOP primary in 2018, allowing the now-governor to shoot up ’71 points in one day.’ 

DeSantis then managed to beat Democratic up-and-comer Andrew Gillum. 

‘He turned out to be a crackhead, but these are minor details,’ Trump said cuing laughs from the crowd. 

Trump then cheered DeSantis tumble in  the polls, with some surveys out of New Hampshire now showing Haley in second place. 

‘He didn’t have a lot of political skill, to put it mildly,’ Trump said of DeSantis. ‘He’s falling like a very badly injured bird from the sky.’ 

Trump then turned to Israel, but his comments about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weren’t all positive. 

The ex-president teased that he was about to tell the audience a story never told before. 

‘They’ll say it was classified,’ Trump yelled. 

He then said that Israel was supposed to play a bigger role in the assassination of Iranian military officer Qasem Soleimani. 

‘The night before it happened I get a call that Israel will not be participating in this attack,’ Trump said. ‘I will never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing.’

‘And then Bibi tried to take credit for it. That didn’t make me feel too good, but that’s alright,’ Trump added. 

Ahead of Trump’s appearance, a cover band played a number of classics but with pro-Trump lyrics, like saying Biden was hiding in his basement and Hunter Biden was in jail. 

A reel of Biden’s spills – including his trips up Air Force One’s stairs and his fall off his bike – played to the James Bond theme.

‘License to Fall’ the video said after the montage of spills played.

A panel discussion was moderated by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend, Right Side Broadcasting’s Brian Glenn.

It consisted of a handful of MAGA personalities including former Real Housewife of New Jersey, Siggy Flicker, who was born in Israel and decried the horrendous Hamas terror attack that took place Saturday. 

The panelists also called attention to the fact that Barr was in the audience. 

‘Where’s Roseanne?’ Trump called out from the stage. ‘So skinny, I love her. She had the No. 1 show on television,’ he added, calling it a ‘monster.’ 

The rebooted Roseanne was canceled after Barr posted a racist tweet about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. 

The crowd cheered when Gaetz – who wasn’t expected to make the event due to the drama he created on Capitol Hill – and his wife walked onstage at the top of Trump’s remarks. 

Trump failed to mention that his candidate to replace McCarthy, Rep. Jim Jordan, lost the House GOP vote to gain the speakership, with the more traditional candidate, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, selected instead. 

Gaetz hung around for nearly 30 minutes after Trump’s speech wrapped up, taking selfies and signing MAGA merchandise for audience members. 

When asked if he was disappointed Trump didn’t bring up the speakership drama during his speech, Gaetz answered, ‘honestly, that’s a rapidly evolving situation, I’m glad President Trump is focused on regaining the White House.’ 

Gaetz played coy when questioned about whether he and Trump had talked about the speaker’s fight backstage.  

‘Well, I think I’m going to keep that between us,’ Gaetz told DailyMail.com.
