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 Trumps Thursday morning tweet calling Senate minority leader Chuck Schemer head clown.
Grow up, Donald, Biden said. Grow up. Time to be an adult, youre president.
You gotta do something, show us what you have, the Vice President continued. Youre gonna propose the legislation, were going to get to debate it, let the public decided. Let em vote in Congress. Lets see what happens. Its going to be much clearer what hes for and against and what were for and against now that its going to get down to actually discussing, in detail, these issues that affect peoples lives.

(39,374 posts)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.

He's so seriously infantile. What a tasteless joke.

(17,276 posts)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!
