Biden says Trump administration has ‘done so much damage’ since taking office
The Hill ^ | 4/15/25 | Julia Mueller

Posted on 04/16/2025 2:37:41 AM PDT by Libloather

Former President Biden said the Trump administration has “done so much damage and so much destruction” since taking office, accusing the White House of having “taken a hatchet” to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and “breaking things” as he delivered his first remarks since leaving the Oval Office earlier this year.

“Fewer than 100 days, this new administration has made so much — done so much damage and so much destruction. It’s kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon,” Biden said at the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) in Chicago.

“They’ve taken a hatchet to the Social Security Administration,” Biden said. “7000 employees — 7000 — out the door in that time, including the most seasoned officials. … Already we can see the effects.”

The speech, Biden’s first major remarks since he handed control of the White House over to President Trump, comes amid fears from Democrats that Trump’s attempts to crack down on government bureaucracy and spending could ultimately damage Social Security and hurt the tens of millions of Americans who receive the benefits.

The SSA has planned significant workforce reductions, and the agency faces a lawsuit over access by the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to millions of Americans’ personal data stored in SSA systems.

Biden on Tuesday touted his own work on Social Security, the government program he called “a sacred promise,” without directly name-dropping his successor — but he took swipes at Republicans in Congress and the administration more broadly as he sounded alarm bells.

“Why are these guys taking aim at Social Security now? They’re following that old line from tech startups. The quote is, ‘Move fast, break things.’ They’re certainly breaking things. They’re shooting first and aiming later,” Biden said.

He's effectively closed the border....downsized the monstrous government...and is working on the countries that are scr**ing us in the trade department.

And he's trying to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Biden is correct in ways he cannot, in his feeble state, imagine.

The damage Slo Joe is referring to is the defanging of the parasitical coven of Leftwing political and bureaucratic vampires draining our country of its lifeblood.

I guess from his speech, he’s seeing a lot more colored people now that he’s left office.....

Honestly, what was the purpose in trotting this old fool out again? Did they have some new kind of meds they wanted to try out? Or is the stench left by Harris so bad that they decided to bring back that old fart to change things up?

Hatchets and meat cleavers. Did the leftists focus group that imagery? But Democrats burning things and shooting people are “mostly” peaceful. At some point, someone like JD should ask a media mouthpiece if they really believe their own lies.

Betcha drjill put him out here——she desperately wants public office.

She cant do it on her own....she needs Biden to back her up.

So he needs to be resurrected every now and then.

This must care the beejesus out of Dems who
thought they were finally rid of the old screwup.

Clinton, Bush, and Obama made some bucks giving speeches. I can't imagine anyone paying to listen to mumbles.

Bigone didn’t know what he was blabbering. Bribed with an ice cream, he babbled what was written for him.
