Trump doubles-down on 'low IQ' attacks on Biden, targets past support of 1994 crime bill
President Trump on Monday did not let criticism over his siding with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an attack on 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden muzzle him. In fact, just before beginning his journey home from his trip to Japan, the president doubled-down on his attacks on the former vice president. “Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low-IQ individual based on his record…I think I agree with him on that,” Trump said at a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trump slammed Biden's support of a controversial 1994 crime bill, tweeting that he hasn't "apologized" for backing it.

Trump claimed "anyone associated" with the bill "will not have a chance of being elected." The president tweeted that his own criminal justice reform legislation - the First Step Act - "had tremendous support" and "fixed" problems in the law Biden championed. The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, signed by then-President Bill Clinton, was seen by many analysts as the culmination of efforts to fight violent crime. However, in the decades that followed, critics blamed the law for an increase in prison populations, among other problems.
