Former President Joe Biden didn’t hold back Saturday during a Democratic gala, calling President Donald Trump a “loser” while discussing the renovations and other projects Trump has overseen during his second term as president.
Biden, 83, pointed out the president’s “vanity projects,” including the White House ballroom construction, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations and trying to rename the Kennedy Center during remarks at the Maryland Democratic Party’s Back & Win Summit and Gala on Saturday, June 27.
“It’s not just his vanity projects: tearing down the East Wing of the White House, making room for his ballroom, putting his name on the Kennedy Center, building an arch in his own honor, even hiring his own pool guy to fix the Reflecting Pool,” Biden said. “Woah! What a loser.
“Look, folks, it’s not just that. The Reflecting Pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration: It’s the corruption.
“The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”
Biden didn’t stop there when talking about the 80-year-old Trump.
“Trump has made billions of dollars as he returned to the White House. It’s simply stunning to me,” Biden said of Trump. “He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing to the country. Trump couldn’t care less. Making money off the presidency is the only reason he wants to be president.”
