White House Declares Biden A ‘Complete Disgrace’ Following His Fiery BBC Interview

US President Joe Biden, left, and President-elect Donald Trump during a welcome ceremony at the North Portico of the White House ahead of the 60th presidential inauguration in Washington, DC, US, on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025. The White House has deemed Joe Biden a “complete disgrace” after the former president took aim at his predecessor-turned-successor in a fiery interview, his first since leaving office. Biden made headlines when he accused President Donald Trump of appeasing Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and criticised Trump’s other foreign policy positions in a BBC interview that aired early on Wednesday. Hours later, White House spokesperson Steven Cheung shared a link to the interview on X, formerly Twitter, and questioned Biden’s mental acuity. “Joe Biden is a complete disgrace to this country and the office he occupied,” Cheung wrote. “He has clearly lost all mental faculties and his handlers thought it’d be a good idea for him to do an interview and incoherently mumble his way through every answer.”“Sadly, this feels like abuse,” he added.

In it, he condemned Trump’s expansionist fantasies and expressed his contempt for the Trump White House’s treatment of America’s traditional allies. “What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that?” Biden asked. “That’s not who we are. We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity, not about confiscation.”Of Trump’s Oval Office blowout with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, Biden noted: “I found it beneath America, the way that took place.” Elsewhere in the chat, BBC journalist Nick Robinson asked Biden if he regretted his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, in which Trump ultimately triumphed over former Vice President Kamala Harris. “I think it was the right decision,” Biden responded. “It was just a difficult decision.” Related...'It's Modern Day Appeasement': Joe Biden Slams Donald Trump Over Ukraine WarTrump Says Jimmy Carter ‘Died A Happy Man’ Knowing Biden Was The Worst PresidentTrump’s CIA Director Blames Biden Team For Allowing Communications On Signal App
