Joe Biden blisters Trump over childish tweets: Grow up. Time to be an adult

Vice President Joe Biden has a very simple message for president-elect Donald Trump: “Grow up.”

Biden made the comment during an interview with PBS News Hour, when asked about Trump’s Thursday morning tweet calling Senate minority leader Chuck Schemer “head clown.”

“Grow up, Donald,” Biden said. “Grow up. Time to be an adult, you’re president.”

“You gotta do something, show us what you have,” the Vice President continued. “You’re gonna propose the legislation, we’re going to get to debate it, let the public decided. Let ’em vote in Congress. Let’s see what happens. It’s going to be much clearer what he’s for and against and what we’re for and against now that it’s going to get down to actually discussing, in detail, these issues that affect people’s lives.

Just in that way. No better guy to say it, too. It won't make a hair's width of difference, but good for Joe.

But I think he has said he wasn't up to it because of Beau. He would have been a better option against Trump than either Hillary or Bernie, IMO.

Also, Biden plays well to the "average Joe" or blue-collar, lunch-bucket, "working stiff" kind of crowd... he certainly could've made a much stronger argument than Hillary that he would have best represented a third Obama term. Oh well. woulda, coulda, shoulda... them the breaks.

I'm sick of this Trump clown and he's not even in office yet.
He's so seriously infantile. What a tasteless joke.

It's partly, if not largely, up to you whether or not Trump starts acting like an adult.

Another thing he said is that the issues weren't covered very well during the campaign because the media was so fascinated with Trump antics. It was a personality race.

But he said now each one of these issues will be in the spotlight, as the Congress takes them up to make changes. And then we will see if the people react when they see what these people actually are all about. The things they want to take away, the things they want to put in place. He said then we will see what happens!

Tonight they will interview John Kerry.
