Taking to Truth Social, the former president claimed Biden only became president "by lies, Fake News and not leaving his basement."

He added: "All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn't capable of being President, and he wasn't - And now, look what he's done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists.

"We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"Mr Biden made the announcement in a letter addresed to "my fellow Americans", saying it had been the "greatest honour" of his life to serve as president.
