In a June 1, 2025, interview with CBS Sunday Morning, former President Bill Clinton spoke openly about Donald Trump’s leadership and Joe Biden’s health, sparking national discussion.

On Trump: “There Are Limits to His Power”
Clinton said the courts — including those with Trump-appointed judges — serve as a check on the former president, even if he tries to bypass legal rulings. He criticized Trump’s “my way or the highway” approach and said his combative style has hurt his popularity.

“That Ain’t America”
Clinton also slammed Trump for punishing law firms based on political beliefs, calling it un-American.

Calling for Unity
Clinton urged Americans to focus on what unites them, emphasizing calm and respect over division.

On Biden: “He Was Always on Top of His Briefs”
Addressing concerns about Biden’s age and mental fitness, Clinton defended the president, saying he was effective in meetings and capable despite his age.

Biden Audio Raises Concerns
Recently resurfaced recordings from Biden’s 2023 interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur showed the president forgetting dates and appearing confused, fueling concern online. Some critics blamed those around Biden more than the president himself.

The Bigger Questions
Clinton’s comments and the leaked audio reignited debates about power, aging, and leadership in American politics — questions many voters are now asking ahead of 2026.
