Joe Biden responded to a jab from Donald Trump, drawing a clear distinction between his predecessor and his vice president Kamala Harris.
What Happened: Biden, the sitting President of the United States, took to X on Thursday to address a comment made by Donald Trump. The post, on X, was in response to a statement made by Trump on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump had referred to Biden as “Crooked Joe” and made a comment about a gaffe at the NATO Press conference. The president had confused Trump with his vice president Kamala Harris at the press event.
Biden’s response was succinct and direct. He wrote, “By the way: Yes, I know the difference. One's a prosecutor, and the other's a felon.”

This president’s post was a direct response to a jab by Trump, who had taken a potshot at the mixup. The former president had disparaged Biden by calling the press event Biden’s “Big Boy” Press Conference.
Why It Matters: Biden’s response comes after a series of verbal missteps during a crucial press conference and the NATO summit. These gaffes have raised concerns about his ability to run for re-election.
Despite these concerns, Biden appeared defiant during a post-NATO press conference, where he touted his administration’s victories. However, his verbal missteps, including introducing Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin,” have added to the growing concerns about his fitness to serve as President.
