Two years after their last debate, Biden jabs at Trump: 'What a loser'

Source: CNN Politics

PUBLISHED Jun 28, 2026, 1:05 AM ET


Hanover, Maryland - As he rallied Maryland Democrats at a state party fundraiser Saturday night, former President Joe Biden decried the actions of the man who succeeded him in the White House, painting him as vain and corrupt.

“It’s not just his vanity projects, tearing down the East Wing of the White House making room for his ballroom, putting his name on the Kennedy Center, building an arch in his own honor, even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Woah! What a loser,” Biden told attendees of the gala, which was held at a Maryland casino.

“The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration,” he continued. “It’s the corruption, the corruption, the brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”

Biden’s 10-minute speech amounted to one of his most pointed critiques of President Donald Trump since leaving office. He delivered it exactly two years after he stood on a different stage for a CNN presidential debate against Trump, a moment that derailed the Democratic president’s second-term aspirations and shifted the course of his political legacy.

when he was sick and should have been in bed? He was running a temp of at least 101F, and he was still more coherent than t! But because his stutter came out a couple of times...OMG! HE CAN'T THINK! OMG, HE'S TOO OLD! OMG......!!!!
I suspect Biden knew he was in a lose-lose situation with that debate. If he asked to reschedule so he could rest and recover, t and his idgits would play up how sick and old Biden is; and if he went on the debate stage, he would look like what he was, ill with flu, and t and his idgits would still play up how sick and old he is, never mind that ts dementia and idiocy was on full display.
A good portion of Americans don't want competent people running America if they are anything but apparently straight, white, supposedly christian males. A good portion of the american people are also fucking stupid, too.

Ye gods, I'm about twenty years younger than President Biden, and that schedule would have put me in the hospital, never mind trying to do a debate afterward!
I miss Biden, Harris and Obama so much!

are often heartless and brutal. Biden deserved far better, but even his Democratic colleagues turned on him. It is amazing that any decent person pursues a career in politics.

I watched his administration on a daily basis and his accomplishments were extraordinary, though totally unappreciated.

You should have put this fat fuck in prison when you the chance.

It is the one glaring blemish on your Presidency

Seriously? After what you saw him and his 5 conspirators do this past year?

Roberts BLOCKED the trial and there was nothing that Garland could do about it.

Time to put that Garland CT shit to bed and accept that Roberts is 45's sugar daddy.
