Trump shares photoshopped picture of Biden in nursing home in savage tweet

The presidential race is heating up as time runs out for Joe Biden and Donald Trump to convince the American people they should be their next leader.

Now, Donald Trump, 74, has taken aim at his Democratic rival Joe Biden in a particularly savage tweet that features a photoshopped picture of the 77-year-old in a nursing home.

In the tweet, Biden's face has been photoshopped onto that of a nursing home resident, and it reads: "Biden for resident", with the P from Biden's campaign slogan crossed out.

Since the tweet was posted 11 hours ago it has received upwards of 400K likes from Donald Trump's 87.2 million Twitter followers.

However, many of the responses to the photoshopped picture are critical of the current president's decision to attack his rival in this way.

A Twitter user by the name of Murray wrote: "This is one of the most disgusting things Trump has ever tweeted.

"Who are the other people featured in this photoshopped image? How dare Trump insult people who reside in nursing homes & care facilities. No wonder seniors are abandoning him in droves - this is how he views them!"

A third Twitter user added: "I long for the days when America wasn't lead [sic] by a fool."

Meanwhile, a fourth posted a picture of Joe Biden ascending stairs two at a time and implied that he was in better health than Trump, who is just three years his junior.

They wrote: "Biden takes stairs two at a time. You can't even handle a ramp."

However, some of Trump's supporters were entirely in favor of the tweet.

One wrote: "So refreshing to have a leader with a real sense of humor! Well done President Trump!"

A second wrote alongside many laughing eyes emoji: "Good one Mr. PRESIDENT !! [sic]"

Then, a third Trump supporter claimed that the president was not mocking seniors in the Tweet, writing: FYI: President @realDonaldTrump was NOT mocking seniors, he was referring to how frail Biden is and he shouldn't be running for President in this condition! Have a sense of humour everyone [sic]."
