During a fundraiser for his re-election campaign Wednesday night, the president Joe Biden referred to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin using the initials “SOB”which in English means “bastard”and attacked former president Donald Trump for his comments in which he compared himself to a Russian opposition leader who died last week in an Arctic prison.
Biden was talking about climate change when he said: “We have a crazy ‘SOB’ like Putin and others, and we always have to worry about a nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is the climate.”
Addressing donors at a private residence in San Francisco as part of his three-day tour of California to raise money for his campaign, Biden also said he was shocked by his potential Republican rival’s recent comments.
Trump compared the suspicious death in prison of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to his own legal problems in the United States. A New York judge fined Trump $350 million after determining that he lied for years about the true value of his assets in the financial statements of his companies. The former president assured that the ruling was a form of “communism or fascism”.
“Some of the things this guy has been saying, like comparing himself to Navalny and saying that he was prosecuted — just like Navalny — because our country became a communist country. “I don’t know where the hell he got that from,” declared Biden.
“What I’m saying is that if 10 or 15 years ago I had told them any of those things, they would have thought they should admit me,” he continued. “It leaves me stunned.”
“I’ve been around here a long time and I’ve never seen a crowd like this Republican MAGA crowd.”Biden said, referring to Trump supporters who follow his motto “Let’s make America great again.”
“It seems that they have very little moral guidance about what is important to the people”said.
At a fundraiser Tuesday night in Beverly Hills, Biden highlighted his efforts to help middle-class Americans and warned that a Trump victory in November could result in a nationwide abortion ban, more Republican attempts for repealing the health insurance program implemented during Barack Obama’s presidency and more policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest.
