Speaking during a Friday, May 30 press event, President Donald Trump went nuclear on former President Joe Biden, saying that he has next to no sympathy for the former president despite his diagnosis of quite aggressive prostate cancer, as was announced two weeks before Trump’s press event.
President Trump’s comments on the matter came when, during the Friday press event in the Oval Office, Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy lobbed a softball the president’s way and asked him about the administration’s recent losses in the court system. Responding, Trump dismantled his predecessor and said the court system is quite biased against him.
Kicking things off, FNC’s Doocy asked him whether he thinks he would have had more influence as a rogue judge than as president, saying, “So many of the things that you’re trying to do are held up in court right now. If the courts are gonna have so much influence over U.S. policy, do you wish you would’ve just become a judge instead?”
Chuckling, President Trump sounded off on the courts and then started going on the attack against former President Biden. Doing so, he commented on Biden’s disastrous open border, saying, “They allowed them to come in. One thing I can’t figure out is what would an administration– what were they thinking when they allowed millions of people from prisons all over the world, not just from South America, Venezuela, but all over the world, from the Congo in Africa?”
Continuing, he noted that all sorts of “rough” illegals were allowed into America by the former administration, saying, “Hundreds of people, thousands of people from the Congo, rough, rough prisoners from Asia, from Europe, rough parts of Europe. Why would they allow them to come into our country?”
Adding to that, Trump said that Biden was “not smart” though he was somewhat “moderate” and so he thinks it was individuals other than the former president who were directly in charge of th every bad border policy. He said, “And I don’t believe it was Joe Biden. Look, he’s been a sort of a moderate person over his lifetime. Not a smart person.”
The president then went on to comment on his predecessor’s “vicious” nature and say that no one should feel sorry for him because of how many Americans he has hurt, saying, “But a somewhat vicious person, I will say. If you feel sorry for him, don’t feel so sorry, because he’s vicious, what he did with his political opponent and all of the people that he hurt. He hurt a lot of people. And so, I really don’t feel sorry for him.”
