Former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 White House hopeful, is expected to go after President Trump during an appearance in Iowa on Tuesday.

The Democratic front-runner will target the president's tariff war with China, climate change and attempt to get rid of the Affordable Care Act during his speech in Davenport, Iowa, according to prepared remarks obtained by The Hill.

“There’s a lot of ways Trump fails the basic standard to be president — but one of them is this: Donald, it’s not about you. It’s about America,” Biden is planning to say.

“Did he do anything to signal that he’s prepared to walk away from the thugs he’s embraced on the world stage — from Putin to Kim Jong Un? No. He did none of that. Instead, he gets up in the middle of the night to attack Bette Midler. He attacks the mayor of London. He attacks the American Speaker of the House. It was a stunning display of childishness for the whole world to see,” he'll add.

He is expected to say that the U.S. is "in a competition" with China during the speech.

2. Good for him. More people need to be saying it

and LOUDLY.

But it is not just rump who is unfit: we have to destroy the whole party, beat them so badly that they are lost in the wilderness for decades while we clean up the mess they created.

4. I can hardly wait for the twitter rant tonight

Trump will go ballistic. This is what the Dems need to do, speak the truth openly. I think he’s close to the edge already. Won’t take much to finish the job.

8. Your gif isn't as clever as you seem to think it is.

10. I can empathize with your frustration on hearing Biden criticize Trump.

Actually, no... I can't empathize with it; however I can certainly understand it.
