President Biden ribbed rival Donald Trump as “defeated-looking” on Tuesday, the second day of jury selection in the former president’s Manhattan trial over concealing 2016 hush money payments.
“Just the other day, a defeated-looking guy came up to me and asked if I could help. He was drowning in debt. And I said, ‘I’m sorry, Donald, but I can’t help you,'” Trump told a small crowd in his birth city of Scranton, Pa.
Biden, 81, did not directly mention the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, against Trump, 77, for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal his reimbursement of then-attorney Michael Cohen.
“I have to say, if Trump’s stock in the Truth Social company drops any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his!” Biden added at his campaign event, further ridiculing the presumptive Republican nominee.
Biden visited his childhood hometown to contrast himself with his billionaire rival, who grew up in a wealthy family in Queens.
