The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual

Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.

The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

“weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

"man" is quite generous.

I’d love to have campaign ads with trump talking about how much Obama golfed while in office and then compare it to how much trump golfed.

Wasn't there also something that Obama almost exclusively golfed at Andrews Base, a secure location near D.C. while the other guy had to go to his own club where the Secret Service had to book rooms in Trumps own hotel?

Time to take off the kid gloves. Part of the problem is that the Democrats have never really fought hard against the far right, the way they, for instance, fight against any progressive candidate that might rock the boat. They'd rather hand the country to the fascists than upset their sponsors.

Unlike Trump I think our law and order has enough crime already. Could it really handle more? It's already judge Dredd out there if you live in the wrong area.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

Trump spoke to the media in New York amid a very busy day for the former president’s legal docket.

His comments came after a hearing in which Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump’s bid to delay his criminal hush-money trial, setting it for April 15.

Trump was livid at the ruling, accusing Merchan of participating in a Democratic conspiracy to keep him from reclaiming the White House.

Trump has been whining incessantly about the civil fraud case on Truth Social, and ahead of the appeals court’s ruling, shared a message he said he received Monday morning comparing his plight to the persecution of Jesus Christ.

He made a few gaffes as he ranted, confusing the election and his trial and promising to “bring crime back to law and order.” Trump also said he didn’t see much of a problem with having foreign governments help him pay for his bond despite his candidacy for president.


The original article contains 395 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

and promising to “bring crime back to law and order.”

Cops: "Jokes on him, we've already got that covered!"
