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.”

  1. He’s a smarter guy than this…

    No, Joe, I don’t think he is.

    Trump thinks he’s competing for the title of Miss Universe - it’s just an elaborate game show. And I’m fairly certain that Trump thinks that the Presidency is largely ceremonial, consisting of riding around in limo’s and making personal appearances. He thinks he’s trying to become the Queen of England.

  2. What’s “smarter” got to do with it? He lives at Trump Tower and doesn’t know better.

    Sorry, Joe, but I think you are being far too kind.

  4. Whoa, Joe. I thought you were smarter than this.

  5. This will infuriate the Trumpster.

    Funny thing is, he’s NOT a smarter guy than that.

    Edit: This is the equivalent to the southern “Bless his little heart.”
