Two years after their last debate, Biden jabs at Trump: 'What a loser'
(CNN) Hanover, Maryland — As he rallied Maryland Democrats at a state party fundraiser Saturday night, former President Joe Biden decried the actions of the man who succeeded him in the White House, painting him as vain and corrupt.
“It’s not just his vanity projects, tearing down the East Wing of the White House making room for his ballroom, putting his name on the Kennedy Center, building an arch in his own honor, even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Woah! What a loser,” Biden told attendees of the gala, which was held at a Maryland casino.
“The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration,” he continued. “It’s the corruption, the corruption, the brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”
Biden’s 10-minute speech amounted to one of his most pointed critiques of President Donald Trump since leaving office. He delivered it exactly two years after he stood on a different stage for a CNN presidential debate against Trump, a moment that derailed the Democratic president’s second-term aspirations and shifted the course of his political legacy.
