Former President Joe Biden delivered a sharp rebuke of his successor, Donald Trump, at a Maryland Democratic fundraiser. Biden characterized Trump as corrupt, narcissistic, and incompetent, citing examples like Trump’s personal branding of public spaces and renovations to the White House. He specifically criticized Trump’s reported desire to use taxpayer money to compensate individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot, arguing they should be incarcerated. The speech, lasting ten minutes, represented one of Biden’s most forceful criticisms of Trump since leaving office. Biden further accused the current administration of unprecedented levels of corruption. He expressed anger over the potential financial support for those who participated in the insurrection, deeming it unjust. The former president’s remarks signal a continued willingness to engage directly with his political rival.
