Vice President Joe Biden on Friday indicated that he was disappointed in Donald Trump’s taco bowl tweet on Cinco de Mayo, and said that he hopes the presumptive Republican nominee begins to talk more seriously about the issues.

“He’s a smarter guy than this,” Biden told Fox 5 DC. “I hope he reaches the point where he figures out that it’s not a game show and that he begins to talk in earnest about where he would take the country.”

“Because that is the kind of debate the public deserves. I know Hillary [Clinton] or Bernie [Sanders], if he is the nominee, will do that,” he continued. “But the American public deserves genuine a debate at this moment in our history on the direction of the country — whether we continue the direction we are on and moving forward or are we making a significant change. I’m not sure he knows.”
