Speaking about his administration’s economic agenda in Ann Arbor Friday, Biden described the United States as the “indispensable nation in the world,” contrasting his view with Trump’s repeated descriptions of the country as a failing nation.
He then referenced comments Trump reportedly made in France when he was president in 2018.
“He refused to visit (an) American cemetery in France – that I was just near – because, according to his own chief of staff – a four-star Marine general – Trump said those servicemen buried there are ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’” Biden said. Trump has repeatedly denied making those comments, but his former chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has said he did so. Kelly’s son was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010.

Yeah, I’ve got dead friends he made a mockery of too. And then he pulled his Arlington stunt. I constantly think he can’t make me hate him more, but he accomplishes it regularly.

Some know the depth of Joe Biden’s loss. The 34x felon isn’t among them.

Donald and his Dad on Donald’s veteran brother:
Fred Jr. left the company to pursue his dream of being a pilot, quickly being accepted at Trans World Airlines, which created tension with his father. According to Fred Jr.’s daughter, Mary L. Trump (born 1965), her grandfather “dismantled him by devaluing and degrading every aspect of his personality.” Both Fred Sr. and Donald mocked him for his decision to become an airline pilot, comparing it to being a bus driver or chauffeur.

“Biden chokes up remembering…” wow I sure would love to see this video. Sounds really wholesome. I guess I’ll search out a video myself? Nice reporting CNN. “Biden gets choked up about his son while ripping on the enemy of America. take our word for it. He’s a pic of Biden frowning for some reason.”
Did this not happen on camera? How was the ball dropped so hard that they can’t provide that footage?
Edit: To be clear.. Biden is a GOATed Patriot. I understand that anybody expressing the slightest bit of negativity towards him = GET THAT REPUBLICAN SCUM. Y’all are free to look at my history. I just want to watch the speech. I don’t care what journalists have to say about it.. and for them to report on a speech without linking to the speech is fucking weird. I don’t need journalist words to tell me how I feel. I expected them to be like “THIS SPEECH BY BIDEN blah blah” with everything in caps being a hyperlink to the speech by Biden.. nah. I don’t have a problem looking up my own info.. and I saw the speech before the knuckle dragger that is arguing with me even responded.. but damn, why would they not just drop a link? Comes across like they’re hiding something.

Whether Joe was president or not, he loves his kids. That’s the sort of man you want in office (see Walz as another example). To know that someone mocked Biden’s son for serving is downright revolting.

Conservatives keep hearing all the gaffes from of man Trump and his couch fucker make and think “this is awesome, they are saying exactly what I think.”

That’s the difference between a loving father that lost a son and a cold hearted S O B.

I remember when he stood up for Beau in the debate after everyone checked out because he tripped up on his first response. He might’ve been unsteady with his early responses but “My son was not a loser” was said with conviction. Biden has always been incredibly sincere when talking about his family, it isn’t some photo shoot love like the Trump’s.

In before Republicans make fun of Biden for having emotions and loving his children.
President Joe Biden choked up and had to take a moment to gather his thoughts while [remembering his late son, Beau Biden](https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/06/politics/biden-remembers-beau-biden-while-criticizing-trump-veterans-comments/index.html), on Friday in Michigan – telling a crowd that he misses his child while harkening back to comments former President Donald Trump reportedly made about American war dead.
