Joe Biden says US President Donald Trump, an ‘absolute fool’
United States Democratic presidential hopeful, Joe Biden, has lambasted the US President, Donald Trump. Biden described Trump as a fool for making a funny comment about him (Biden).
Biden had tweeted his appeared at Memorial Day on Monday with Jill, his wife all wearing black face masks which was his first public appearance in more than two months.
Trump later retweeted a post that appeared to make fun of a photo of Biden and his wife in their black masks.
However, in an interview with Cable News Network (CNN) on Tuesday, Biden has lashed out at the United State’s President.
He said: “He (Trump) is a fool, an absolute fool, to talk that way. He’s supposed to lead by example.”
Speaking further, the former Vice President noted that nearly 100,000 US citizens have died from the dreaded virus and suggested that as many as half of those deaths were avoidable but for Trump’s “lack of attention and ego.”
He said Trump is politicizing the issue of mask wearing and “it’s stoking deaths. That’s not going to increase the likelihood that people are going to be better off.”
Responding, President Trump said he was misunderstood and that he did not mean to be critical of the Democratic presidential hopeful.
Trump has refused to wear a mask despite medical advice and polls finding reveals that conservative Americans are more likely to follow their President’s footsteps.
