Donald Trump is an asshole of unparalleled proportions and we all know it. He’s also petulant, immature, childish, and petty. His Twitter account is more than evidence of that. He’s constantly taking to his personal social media account to bash, berate, and bully the masses. No one is safe from his ire — not even dead senators.
Today, it seems that former Vice President Joe Biden is the subject of Trump’s ill-tempered scorn.
As we’re sure you’ve all seen, Joe Biden has been the subject of some scrutiny lately after a few women have come forward saying that they’ve been made uncomfortable by Biden’s displays of affection in the past. No one has claimed that the former vice president sexually harassed or assaulted them — just that he’s a bit more hands-on than they would care for.
Joe has respectfully taken this revelation in stride and has quickly apologized and promised to make a good faith effort moving forward to adjust himself, personally, to the new social norms. He did so by posting a heartfelt, genuine video where he addressed the issue head-on, owned up to his own shortcomings, and took responsibility for his previous and future actions — quite commendable if I do say so myself.
However, Donald Trump reacted to Joe’s statement in a completely opposite manner — by acting like the foolish, petty, and mean child that he truly is.
Donald retweeted an edited version of Joe’s video this afternoon, featuring the former VP hugging himself and smelling his own hair (complete with sound effects) and captioned it “WELCOME BACK JOE!” — a completely unprecedented and staggeringly infantile move by a leader of our nation.

While it’s absolutely disgusting to see a man with so much power acting like a schoolyard bully, Joe was quick to issue his own clap back — making it very clear that he, as well as most of the rest of the country, has absolutely no time for Trump’s petty bullshit and really couldn’t care less what POTUS thinks about the roses — and we all know that Donald Trump cannot stand it when people don’t care about what he says.
Biden retweeted Trump’s doctored version of the video along with his own caption saying, “I see that you are on the job and presidential, as always.”

The old saying does go, “If you can’t beat em, join em,” and Joe Biden just served Trump a plate of his own delicious, piping hot pettiness — and we can’t get enough of it.
