President Joe Biden threw a little shade Monday at the Republican frontrunner ousted from the White House four years ago.
Biden cracked a smile and chuckled when he heard former President Donald Trump wanted to debate him “immediately,” video posted to X by The Recount shows.
“Donald Trump says he’s ready to debate you right now,” a reporter said. “Do you accept?”
Biden broke into a laugh.
“He wants to debate you ‘immediately,” another journalist informed the president.
“Immediately?” Biden asked.
“Yes,” was the stern reply.
“If I were him, I’d want him to debate me, too,” Biden says as the camera zooms in. Then he deadpanned: “He’s got nothing else to do.”
The former president received a fact check from one viewer.
“Wrong,” wrote @CollectorUrban. “Trump has lots to do; he can play golf, photobomb a wedding, or belly up to the Mar a Lago omelet station.”
Another called Biden’s quip a savvy campaign plan.
“I love how Joe gives Trump exactly what he deserves...mockery,” replied @anng590. “Must drive the orange pile of goo absolutely nuts.”
Biden was on the tail-end of a two-day visit in Las Vegas, where he spoke to Las Vegas hospitality workers who had averted a strike by reaching a deal with six hotel-casinos.
It’s worth noting that Biden fielded questions about Trump’s demands while enjoying a bubble tea. Politico reports the flavor he chose was the boba original.
