Biden mocks Trump: Everything is fine 'and no one died in Puerto Rico'

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday took a swipe at President Trump after Trump claimed that Democrats inflated the death toll from Hurricane Maria to make him look bad.
"By the way, there are no problems in America. Everybody is doing well. Things are fair and decent, and no one died in Puerto Rico," Biden quipped at the beginning of remarks at an economic summit in Washington, D.C.
Biden, who did not name Trump during his remarks calling for higher wages, also blasted "all of this foolishness that’s going on with this phony populism and this naked nationalism that’s being promulgated right now."
"The lack of a value set, lack of treating people with dignity is because when things are tough for people economically who work hard, there are sometimes charlatans who come along who try to find a reason for those people to blame whatever’s happening to them on the other," he said.
