In November, I reported on the meeting between Donald Trump and Joe Biden at the White House following Trump’s election victory over Kamala Harris.
The meeting was about the transition. Both Biden and Trump appeared to be smiling, making it appear as if the exchange was surprisingly cordial. Jill Biden sent Trump a note for Melania, congratulating her.
Biden’s behavior is not what you would expect if he believed Trump was Hitler. It was always ridiculous propaganda.
Biden didn’t appear angry with Trump.
In a recent interview with The Spectator, President Trump reveals some of the interesting conversations he had, including the person who Biden “was angry” about the election.
“I asked him, and I said: ‘So, who do you accuse?’ He was very angry. Trump said that he told him, “I blame Barack.”
He also said, “And I also blame [former House speaker] Nancy Pelosi.”
Trump asked him about Harris. But Biden didn’t blame her.
Trump said, “He said ‘No I don’t fault her, ‘ which was interesting.”
“He didn’t blame Harris,” Trump said, “He blamed… He told me that he blamed these two people.”
Biden’s remarks about Trump will irritate Obama and Pelosi.
I can see Biden having this conversation because he was resentful that Pelosi pushed him aside. He may not realize that telling Trump about Biden’s cognitive problems might not be the best idea at this stage. Perhaps that was a sarcastic way of teasing them by telling Trump that.
It also fits with what we have seen of Biden’s relationships with Obama and Pelosi. He feels that Pelosi has thrown him under the bus after 50 years of friendship. They have also reportedly not worked out their differences since she pushed him aside. Biden didn’t call her when she broke her hip. This is a serious injury for someone her age. Alexandra Pelosi was not happy about this.
It’s an interesting comment on Kamala Harris, if this is true, that he isn’t mad at her, that he doesn’t regard her as a power player against him in this whole equation. That’s perhaps more of a hit on her than if he was angry at her.
