Biden mocks Trump trial: “Some tough days – stormy weather”
Biden also addressed the day that forever changed the world's view of America — this time without any irony: “We have to take this seriously.

Aiming for a renewed feud with the most controversial US president in history, Biden continued: “I'm certainly not asking you to pick a side. It's important that everyone does their part to “ensure the survival of American democracy.” Trump is openly flirting with wanting to act like a dictator when he takes office again and again, even if it's “day one.”

Then he comes to the first commandment: 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me.' Then he put it aside and said to himself, 'This is not a book for me.'
Trump, who had to allow Biden to call him “Sleepy Dawn” that evening, had always avoided the traditional dinner during his four years as president. At least this time he should have listened. On his social networking site Truth Social He said: “The White House Correspondents' Dinner was awful. Colin Jost bombed and 'Impostor Joe' was an absolute disaster! It couldn't have been worse!”
