Joe Biden on Trump: 'What president ever talks like that? That's not who we are'
BBC ^ | May 6, 2025 | Nick Robinson

Posted on 05/07/2025 8:46:22 AM PDT by Trump20162020

In an exclusive and remarkably candid interview - the first since he left office - Joe Biden discusses what he really thinks of his successor's first 100 days, plus his fears for the future if the Atlantic Alliance collapses

It is hard to believe that the man I greet in the Delaware hotel where he launched his political career more than half a century ago was the "leader of the free world" little over 100 days ago.

Joe Biden is still surrounded by all the trappings of power – the black SUVs, the security guys with curly earpieces, the sniffer dogs sent ahead to sweep the room for explosives. And yet he has spent the last three months watching much of what he believes in being swept away by his successor.

Donald Trump has deployed the name Biden again and again - it is his political weapon of choice. One recent analysis showed that Trump said or wrote the name Biden at least 580 times in those first 100 days in office. Having claimed that rises in share prices were "Trump's stock market" at work, he later blamed sharp falls in share prices on "Biden's stock market".

Someone call DOGE to see how many of those "trappings of power" can be eliminated to save a couple bucks. Biden was petty with Trump's perks so Trump should give it right back to the senile old fool.

I liked it better when former Presidents would shut up and go away.

Hey, Joe. A little bird told me to tell you to STFU!
Because you sit on a throne of lies!

I’m not kidding man!

Fact! No lie!

Don’t.

Dog-faced lying pony soldier.

They loved touching my leg hair.

White and poor kids, too.

My kitchen caught fire.

My son died in Iraq.

Hunter’s the smartest person I know.

I survived oil cancer.

I beat Medicare!

Let’s me and you go behind the gym....

Former presidents get SS protection for life.

VPs get it for six months.

He’s going to outdo Carter in backbiting, scolding and bitching.
Both one-termers.

What President involves himself in grift?
What President governs in a manner that enriches himself and his family while making life harder for Americans?
What President stomps on opposition ideas, protests, and free speech?
What President employs a network of operatives to stifle dissent, cheat at elections, and use taxpayer funding to enable your machine?
What President savages our border protections?
What President tears down the moral fabric of our country by actively encouraging abortion, identity politics, grooming children to deviant behavior, and supports human traffickers?

You did those things, Mr. Biden. That’s not who we are.

Coming from a lunatic that thinks men are women, who created a foreign invasion of America for entrenching Democrat power, and behaved like money should be giving away like wallpaper as we approach economic collapse.

But boy, who talks like that?!

Well, what do we expect from the Democrats and Joe? They are being exposed as incompetent and massively corrupt.

They are in an existential crisis but don't seem to be able to recognize it.

the faux brandon outrage ....

remember that GW MORON hid in silence while obama destroyed this country, but then crawled out of his hole to bash Trump.
