Just One Question for Trump and Vance: What Is Wrong With You People?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ever since President Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would not seek re-election, clearly because of age, I keep thinking about Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s contemptuous reactions to one of the most difficult personal decisions a president has ever made, and what it says about their character.

“The Democrats pick a candidate, Crooked Joe Biden, he loses the Debate badly, then panics, and makes mistake after mistake, is told he can’t win, and decide they will pick another candidate, probably Harris,” Trump wrote on social media on Monday. He later added: “It’s not over! Tomorrow Crooked Joe Biden’s going to wake up and forget that he dropped out of the race today!”

Not to be out-lowballed by his boss, Vance wrote on social media: “Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way.”

All they had to say was: “President Biden served his country for five decades and at this moment we thank him for that service. Tomorrow our campaign begins against his replacement. Bring her on.’’

I can guarantee you that is what Biden would have said if the shoe were on the other foot. Because he is not a bully.

Biden’s good character shone through on Wednesday night in his dignified, country-before-self address at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. As I watched and listened, I remembered a lunch I had with him in May 2022 in the dining room next to the Oval Office. After we were done and he was walking me past the Resolute Desk, I mentioned to him a reading-literacy project that my wife, Ann, was working on that she thought might interest Dr. Jill Biden. The president got totally excited about the idea and said, “Let’s call your wife. What’s her number?’’

Thomas Freidman rubbish here... Why? What did we ever do to you?

[LizzieD]

It’s really unbelievable what these people will swallow.

“Because he is not a bully.”

AYFKM??????????

[ransomnote]

Trump and Vance were disgusted at the lies and deception of the DNC, MSM and international community which kept Biden propped up like a scarecrow while puppet masters operated him.

If finding errors/lies in a TLF article were a drinking game, we would all need new livers.

Freidman reminds one of a WKRP episode where Les Nessman is attending a press conference with a Soviet cultural attaché traveling through Cincinnati.

Les first asked “Who are you trying to kid?” and followed up with “What are you trying to pull?”

Maybe someone could use an emetic...? 😁

Biden's real character: THE LONESOME DEATH OF NEILIA BIDEN

“I can guarantee you that is what Biden would have said if the shoe were on the other foot.”

Oh, like hell he would have. “Classy Joe” is a figment of the left’s imagination. The man spews poisonous lies left and right.

"All they had to say was: “President Biden served his country for five decades ..."

All they had to say was: “The Country served Joe Biden for five decades ..."

Here?

[wildcard_redneck]

The New York Times is nothing but a front for the evil communist “Democratic” Party. They slavishly ignore and hide the 5 year fraud of propping up the brain dead, white puppet of the ghetto urban regime of Marxists and black supremacists. Hell is too good for the lying, leftist bastards.

[AndyJackson]

Try not paying your 10%. Well, sumabich, just like that.

[DeplorablePaul]

The question is what’s wrong with Friedman? The answer is that he is a filthy communist. Biden is a degenerate, corrupt scum bag. Freidman is a useful idiot.

[Nekman]

Saw the headline, read the by-line, nope.

[RetiredTexasVet]

10% for the new boob(s)?

[mass55th]

What is wrong with you fascist propagandists at The NY Slimes?

[right way right]

I took it very personal when Biden threatened me with F15’s
FJB!

Then he tried to have his political opponent imprisoned.
FJB!

Then, when that didn’t work, it really ‘looks’ like he tried to have him assassinated!
FJB!

Now having weaponized the FBI DOJ against us, he is wanting to weaponize the SCOTUS also!
FJB!
