President Joe Biden took a swipe at former President Donald Trump with a joke to a crowd about the business mogul’s financial problems in securing a $464 million bond that he has to pay post his New York civil fraud ruling. During a campaign fundraiser in Dallas, Texas, Biden made a joke about a man approaching him to talk about his substantial debts, Newsweek reported.
“I know not everyone’s feeling enthusiasm. The other day a defeated man … came up to me and said, Mr. President, I’m being crushed by debt, I’m completely wiped out,” Biden said. “I had to say, ‘I’m sorry Donald, I can’t help you.’” The crowd of around 100 individuals burst out laughing.
A New York judge determined in February in the case brought on by New York Attorney General Letitia James that Trump had committed financial fraud by purposefully inflating the value of his properties to obtain better bank loans, and as a result, he was fined $355 million. Upon factoring in interest, the whole fine will exceed $464 million.
