President Joe Biden had the perfect answer for why former President Donald Trump is "ranting on Truth Social at 3 in the morning," saying Trump has a "guilty conscience" in a video showing him answering questions that "Trump can't."
Biden's words came weeks after Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. A New York jury last month found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to corruptly influence the 2016 election. His sentencing is set for July 11.
In a clever campaign video dropped on Wednesday, Biden was asked a series of this or that questions, which are no-brainers for Biden but would be tough calls for Trump.
You can watch the video below.
The video starts with an off-screen aide asking Biden the following question:
"Tackle climate change or do the bidding of oil executives?"
To that, Biden responds:
"Oh, I don't want to say what I'm thinking... Tackle climate change! Trump will do the bidding of oil companies and make us all sicker."
When asked if he would lower the cost of insulin or "rip away healthcare from millions of people," he says:
"I lowered insulin costs from 400 bucks a month to 35 bucks a month."
Asked if he favors "student debt relief or billionaire tax breaks," Biden says:
"Are you kidding? Student debt relief. That's why I worked so hard to do it."
" Billionaires pay 8.3 percent in taxes. I want to give people a chance. And, by the way, it helps the economy."
But it was Biden's response to the following question that was the piÚce de résistance:
"Meeting with voters or ranting on Truth Social at 3 in the morning?"
He replied:
"What [Trump's] doing at 3 in the morning, I don't know... I guess the guy can't sleep. Must have a guilty conscience."
And it was that final point that everyone could agree on.
The video dropped on the eve of the G7 summit in Italy, where the key topic is how to address the matter of $300 billion in frozen assets that Russia left in Western financial institutions after its leader, Vladimir Putin, launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
According to one of Biden's former senior advisers, a successful agreement on the matter "would reinforce President Bidenâs argument that he, rather than Donald Trump, knows how to be a global leader and rally U.S. allies around key U.S. security interests."
Adding to the pressure on Biden is Europe's anticipation of a potential second Trump administration. The possibility of Trump returning to the White House has alarmed officials in EU capitals, who fear he might disrupt trade and withdraw U.S. support for European security initiatives.
