Should we pity Trump, 'the former guy'?
(CNN)Have you heard about what's happening to The Former Guy? Some of the other big kids don't want to play with him anymore. Almost makes you feel sorry for him. Almost.
"The former guy" is the nickname President Joe Biden pasted on his predecessor at a recent CNN town hall. "I'm tired of talking about Donald Trump," he said at one point. At another, Biden said this: "For four years, all that's been in the news is Trump. The next four years, I want to make sure all the news is the American people."
