Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign accused President Trump of "coddling" dictators in his meetings with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan while overseas.

"President Trump's coddling of dictators at the expense of American national security and interests is one of the most dangerous ways he's diminishing us on the world stage and subverting our values as a nation," Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to CBS News.

The president held a last-minute meeting with Kim in the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea on Sunday, becoming the first sitting president to set foot on North Korean soil. His meeting with Kim came after the G20 summit in Japan, where he met with Putin and Erdogan.

As the president was flying back from his overseas trip, the Biden campaign said Mr. Trump "yet again fawned over Kim Jong-un — to whom he's made numerous concessions for negligible gain."

3. I hate how our president is such a chump.

It embarrasses the hell out of me. For somebody who read “You knew damn well I was a snake before you let me in” ad nauseum he is the biggest sucker on the planet right now.
