Biden mocks Trump at correspondents' dinner: ‘A horrible plague, then Covid’

US president Joe Biden joked about his own low approval ratings and remarked on the 'horrible plague' of predecessor Donald Trump, as he resumed a Washington tradition of speaking at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

The event had been cancelled for two years due to the Covid pandemic and boycotted by Donald Trump during his presidency. 'This is the first time the president attended this dinner in six years. It's understandable: we had a horrible plague, followed by two years of Covid,' Biden quipped.

Now all we have is horrible covid rules, inflation, recession and WWIII. We are finally out of that horrible prosperity we were facing.

Even a democrat can see this is a sorry excuse for a "president".

This is a prime example of the saying, "Dont throw stones if you live in a glass house"

How is it possible that Trump drew a crowd of over 50K people today at his Nebraska rally?

Atleast they managed to balanced his meds.

I’m actually surprised he was able to memorise and remember the script

[carolewynn]

Any mention of those left behind in Afghanistan ? Hunter's laptop, the money he's received illegally ?

[hildeemcflugle]

Negative comments are 50:1 against this dork and the dislikes would show that also if it worked.

[travisspazz]

Ok, but isn't your approval rating continually in nosedive??

[trevorowens]

Right because things are so much better under THIS administration 🙄

[JuanPabloUN]

oh man, this will trigger a lot of yeehaws and Trump supporters

[terrywogan]

Give me Trump over a bunch of groomers anyday.

My favourite line so far from the worlds greatest leader is this simple one.
