Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday told President-elect Donald Trump to “grow up” and face the reality of governing the country as its president.
“Grow up, Donald, grow up. Time to be an adult, you’re president,” Biden said in an interview with PBS NewHour. “You’ve got to do something. Show us what you have. You’re going to propose legislation, we’re going to get to debate it. Let the public decide. Let them vote in Congress. Let’s see what happens.”
“It’s going to be much clearer what he’s for and against, and what we’re for and against, now that it’s going to get down to actually discussing, in detail, these issues that affect people’s lives,” Biden continued.
Biden was responding to a question posed by NewsHour host Judy Woodruff, who asked about the “new reality” of Trump’s Twitter use as a method of communication. Woodruff mentioned two recent tweets in particular in which Trump attacked President Barack Obama and new Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY):
The Democrats, lead by head clown Chuck Schumer, know how bad ObamaCare is and what a mess they are in. Instead of working to fix it, they..

Good advice. People will soon learn they have been had, BIG TIME!
‘The Democrats, lead by head clown Chuck Schumer, know how bad ObamaCare is and what a mess they are in. Instead of working to fix it, they…’’
Trump’s really pushing their “Obamacare’s bad for you” meme there, they’re bent on revising history even as it happens…
BTW, Donald… most clowns are orange…
Sad to see you go Joe. Unlike the previous VP Darth Dickhead, what you say matters.
If he wants to run, God-willing, he should be our unity candidate in 2020. He stood down for HillyBob, on Obama’s wishes. Because he’s a good, loyal party man. And a true friend to our beloved President.
And he’s suffered SO VERY MUCH in his personal life while serving so valiantly. Maybe he will better communicate our values and shared empathy with everyday working folk. WITHOUT selling out, because Joe doesn’t do that.
Assuming we are still alive and allowed to vote again…BIDEN/WARREN 2020!!
I’m trying to work out the implications of Lord Acton’s observation that “power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”. What happens when you give power to someone who is already absolutely corrupt?
