Trump knocks Biden: 'Obama took him off the trash heap'

Source: The Hill



BY KYLE BALLUCK - 01/13/19 08:04 AM EST

President Trump late Saturday dismissed talk of a potential 2020 White House bid by Joe Biden, calling the former vice president “weak.”

Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro during an interview on "Justice with Judge Jeanine" that Biden "was always a 1 percenter.”

"He ran two or three times, he never got above 1 percent," Trump said.

And then, [former President Barack] Obama came along and took him off the trash heap, and he became a vice president, and now he's probably leading" he added

Such a malevolent asshole. Please, please, someone do something to get him out of office. His effect on our national identity (not to mention our collective mental well being) is so destructive. I knew he’d be bad, but never imagined he would be this bad.

. . it's his consistent and gleeful debasement of everyone – everyone!!– who opposes him and his cruelty to everyone he perceives to be vulnerable (the poor, the disabled, oppressed minorities, refugees, "ugly" people, children) that's the worst of all. As that Atlantic article by Adam Serwer summed it up: "The cruelty is the point."
He really is the very definition of evil: not only is he evil toward others, but, both implicitly and (shockingly) directly, he encourages evil in others.
Our country is in danger every minute this a_hole is in the White House, and a significant proportion of our citizens support his presence there.

"off the trash heap" of his constant bankruptcies and failed businesses. He has no right to be in the WH. He was chosen by Vlad because he is STUPID and greedy. Traitor to this country. Talking about "trash heaps" how about having a first lady who once was an escort/nude lesbian model? That added insult to injury. Trashiest couple to ever inhabit the WH. No class, uncouth, bottom feeders. Do ANYTHING for a buck, just as long as it does not involve actually working to make an honest living.

this abortion of a so called leader makes himself look dumber than a brick. Please continue with the insipid comments though, as the majority of us are not quite as stupid, and view his verbal garbage for what it is - laughing stock.

Of the truth. Putin is the only reason he's president, or he'd be in bankruptcy court or criminal court right now. Committing treason against ones country is the worse possible crime against our country, and he's calling others has beens, lol.

Coming from a man who had to appeal to the worst instincts of the most terrible portion of our country to even get any attention in the primary. Who was able to con a whole party of morons to give them their vote. Who in the general election enlisted the help of a known adversary, where that adversary actually had to alter vote totals in order to place that worthless orange piece of scum in our white house. And even with this opportunity for greatness, he remains a man who proceeds to fuck up this opportunity in every way possible. Fuck you trump.

Never did get his vitriolic hatred of Hillary and his snubbing of Bill Clinton at GHWB's funeral was pretty jarring."Politics" is one thing, but there's something terribly screwed up with the "President".

Pence was a man without a state and sitting on a trash heap when Trump (and Putin) rescued him. Now he is a man w/o a country, too, and probably on the way to a prison cell!
