During a recent speech in Chicago, Joe Biden made a surprising move that defied an unwritten rule in American politics: he publicly criticized the current administration.
Donald Trump was not going to overlook that, as was to be expected.
An uncommon move
At the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled conference in Chicago on Tuesday, Joe Biden gave his first speech in public since leaving the White House. Many had been waiting for Biden’s response to Donald Trump’s constant attacks, so it was a much-anticipated moment.
From rising food prices and inflation to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Trump has made it a daily habit to accuse Biden of being to blame. During his press conferences, he frequently refers to Biden as “the worst president the U.S. has ever had.” Biden’s decision to retaliate was therefore inevitable.
Biden publicly criticized Trump’s management of Social Security, a rare move that broke the unwritten rule of silence among former presidents.
They proposed allowing social security to expire every five years unless Congress reauthorized it. Who on earth do they believe they are?
Additionally, he criticized his predecessor for raising the debt ceiling after granting the ultra-wealthy what Biden referred to as a “profligate tax” cut.
“This guy raised the debt ceiling the last time he was in office because of a huge and wasteful tax on the extremely wealthy.”
Fiery reaction
It should come as no surprise that Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden’s remarks right away. In keeping with his straightforward demeanor, he responded promptly.
Donald Trump attacked his political opponents once more in a scathing post that was shared on Truth Social this morning (April 16). He did not hold back in his criticism of Joe Biden. Declaring “Sleepy Joe Biden” to be “THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES,” Trump didn’t mince words.
Trump’s remarks were a continuation of his campaign against illegal immigration and crime. He specifically blasted Biden’s approach to border security, saying that the “dangerous and ill-conceived Open Border” policy was the reason why “millions and millions of criminals”—including murderers, drug dealers, and those released from prisons and mental institutions—flocked into the United States.
“I’m sorry, but it’s my job to get these killers and thugs out of here,” Trump added further. I was elected to do just that. MAGA!

In keeping with his crackdown on crime, Trump also hinted in his post that he may deport Americans convicted of violent crimes if a legal route could be found.
Trump, however, didn’t stop there. In a different post, he addressed former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Trump’s decision to stop giving Harvard $2.3 billion in funding. “Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and ‘birdbrains’ who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called ‘future leaders,'” Trump said in his criticism of the university.
“Harvard should no longer receive federal funds because it is a joke that spreads ignorance and hatred. I appreciate you taking the time to look into this. Trump went on.
It is evident that the verbal sparring between these leaders is not going to stop anytime soon as their political battle heats up. Do you think Biden will reply to Trump once more?
