Biden to say Trump 'fails the basic standard to be president' in Iowa speech The Hill, Jun 11, 2019
Former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 White House hopeful, will reportedly go after President Trump during an appearance in Iowa on Tuesday.
The Democratic front-runner will go after the president's tariff war with China, climate change and attempt to get rid of the Affordable Care Act during his speech in Davenport, Iowa, according to prepared remarks obtained by Politico.
“There’s a lot of ways Trump fails the basic standard to be president — but one of them is this: Donald, it’s not about you. It’s about America,†Biden is reportedly planning to say.
“Did he do anything to signal that he’s prepared to walk away from the thugs he’s embraced on the world stage — from Putin to Kim Jong Un? No. He did none of that. Instead, he gets up in the middle of the night to attack Bette Midler. He attacks the mayor of London. He attacks the American Speaker of the House. It was a stunning display of childishness for the whole world to see,†he'll add, according to the news outlet.
He will reportedly say that the U.S. is "in a competition" with China during the speech.
"We need to get tough with China. They are a serious challenge to us, and in some areas a real threat,†Biden reportedly plans to say. “And every single step that Donald Trump is taking is only exacerbating the challenge.â€
