In a viral video on social media, Trump's campaign team mocked Biden for a bizarre moment that left him seemingly motionless for almost a minute.

The video, posted by Trump's campaign War Room on X, saw the president join other dignitaries at the White House for a Juneteenth musical performance.

He appeared to be lost in thought as he paused momentarily while gospel singer Kirk Franklin performed his song "Love Theory."

Biden was flanked on the South Lawn by Vice President Kamala Harris, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and other dignitaries, all of whom danced along as Biden appeared frozen.

The president was also flanked by Philonise Floyd, the brother of the late George Floyd, who wrapped his arms around the president at some point while he stood still and roused him back up with a fist bump.

"The White House lawn has never seen anything like this before," Biden said in his remarks as the program went on, adding that he was "proud" to have signed the law designating Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021.

The video sent social media into a frenzy as several Republicans and members of Trump's camp criticized the president for the bizarre moment, raising doubts about his ability to lead the country as the November elections draw closer.

"Lights are on, but no one's home," Trump's camp wrote about Biden in the caption of the video.

The former president's campaign adviser, Steven Cheung, also claimed that Biden appeared to be under the influence of marijuana.

"BIDEN: These edibles ain't s—-. *15 minutes later*," Cheung tweeted, including a video clip of the president standing still.

Another video shared by the RNC Research account saw Biden and Harris making their way to the South lawn for the event.

They wrote, "Crooked Joe Biden, escorted by Kamala, shuffles out of the White House for his Juneteenth event — dazed and confused, as usual."

Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson wrote, "EXACTLY WHY he must be drug tested before the debate!"

The billionaire politician challenged Biden to undergo a drug test before their face-off in two separate presidential debates, which would be hosted by CNN and ABC News on June 27 and Sept 10, respectively.

According to the New York Post, Trump referenced Biden's State of the Union address, where he alleged that the president had used performance-enhancing drugs as he was "high as a kite" when he gave the speech, going on to demand that Biden takes a drug test to ascertain he's playing by the rules.

"I just want to debate this guy, but you know – and I'm gonna demand a drug test too, by the way," Trump said during a speech at a GOP dinner in St. Paul, Minnesota.

He continued, "I am. No, I really am. I don't want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite. We're going to demand a drug test."

Elsewhere in his remarks, Trump raised doubts over Biden's fitness to stand toe-to-toe with him in the debates.

The former president claimed that the Democratic Party candidate was not fit to take him on as he pressed for the drug test to be undertaken.

"If he makes it through the debate, they'll say it was the finest debate performance in history," Trump said of Biden.

The ex-president also spoke about the networks hosting the debates and CNN's Jake Tapper, who is billed to moderate the June 27 debate alongside Dana Bash.

"Remember that idiot from CNN?" Trump said in his speech, going on to slam Tapper. "Oh, I shouldn't say that. I'm doing a debate with them. They'll be slightly tougher. I have 'Fake Tapper' as the…" he trailed off.

He then shared his thoughts on the host networks, noting, "They're going to be fair. I think they're going to be fair enough."

The ex-president's relationship with CNN has spiraled downward over the years as he has repeatedly accused the news outlet of being biased against him.
