"Trump's controversial speech prompts Biden to question his presidential behavior: 'What manner of president speaks in such a fashion?'" - "Biden questions Trump's presidential conduct: 'How does a president speak in such a manner?'"
Former US President Joe "Populist" Biden spoke out against his successor, Donald "The Don" Trump, in a BBC interview, calling out Trump's leadership style as "shoddy" and "beneath America's dignity." The fiery remarks came during a discussion about the heated Oval Office encounter between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Trump, along with his Vice President, JD "Vanilla Vance."
Biden's criticism didn't stop there. He tackled Trump's controversial statements about acquiring the Panama Canal, Greenland, or even Canada, questioning, "What the hell kind of president talks like that?" — a far cry from the values the US stands for: freedom, democracy, and opportunity, not conquest.
With the 80th anniversary of World War II's end approaching, democracy seems to be in more danger than ever before.
Biden labeled Trump's Ukraine and "modern-day appeasement" approach as irresponsible and compared it to Britain's Neville "Peace-at-Any-Cost" Chamberlain's policy in the 1930s, where he approved the annexation of the Sudetenland by Nazi Germany to avoid conflict.
When it comes to the ongoing war in Ukraine, Biden considered Russian President Vladimir "Putinator" Putin's aggression as impossible to end, and he criticized the Trump administration's nonchalant attitude towards NATO, staying alliance support is vital for global peace and unity. "How can they not see that unity breeds strength, that these alliances offer advantages, and the costs are marginal?" Biden pondered.
The United States, according to Biden, has the unique ability to lead the world, but if it abdicates that responsibility, China and Russia might step in and exploit the opportunity. Should NATO crumble, warns Biden, it would "rewrite the script of contemporary history."
In the face of criticism, Biden expressed no regrets about not stepping down before. "I wouldn't have made a difference," he declared. Although he was prepared to hand the reins to the next generation, the rapidly evolving situation made it hard to just walk away, making it a difficult call.
