Joe Biden, 83, lashed out at Donald Trump, 80, at a Maryland Democratic Party event on June 27, calling him a ‘loser’ during a fiery critique of the renovations and other projects he has overseen during his second term as president.
He sharply mentioned his ‘vanity projects’ — including the White House ballroom construction, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations and his attempted Kennedy Center renaming.
The former US President said this at the Maryland Democratic Party’s Back & Win Summit and Gala on Saturday, June 27.
While discussing Trump’s second term during his keynote speech at the inaugural gala held at Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Md., Biden drew boos and laughter from the crowd of Democrats.
‘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 in footage shared by CBS News. ‘Woah! What a loser.’
After a round of applause at his ‘loser’ declaration, Biden continued, ‘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,’ he continued. ‘The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.’
‘Trump has made billions of dollars as he returned to the White House. It’s simply stunning to me,’ Biden said of the president.
‘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,’ he said.
