President Biden directly criticized his former rival, calling him a fascist, racist, and crazy person in a strong and intense speech that showed why people elected him in the first place.
He said, “Look, it’s not just his effort to change NATO and pick sides with Putin instead of our allies, or the fact that he’s made our country less respected around the world than any president before him.”
“It’s not just his big projects, like tearing down the east wing of the White House to make room for his ballroom, putting his name on the Kennedy Center, building a monument for himself, and even hiring his own pool cleaner to fix the reflecting pool.
That’s really sad.”
“Folks, it’s not just that.
The reflecting pool shows something even worse than the self-centeredness and bad decisions at the heart of this administration.”
“It’s the corruption, the open and obvious corruption, a level of greed never seen in American history.
Trump has made billions since coming back to the White House; it’s shocking.He has no sense of shame.And honestly, it’s embarrassing for the country.But Trump doesn’t care at all.”
“Get up, dammit.
Get up.Get up now,” Biden urged the Democrats to take action.
Donald Trump has been a total mess for our country and the whole world.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died or are still dying because of his terrible choices.
The world order has been turned upside down by his attempts to force everyone into line and his refusal to follow international rules.
His government is not just corrupt and stupid, but also morally wrong, doing bad things just for the sake of being bad.
Hearing Biden speak is a painful reminder of how our leaders used to sound – but it also gives hope that one day we might hear our president speak like this again.
