In an unexpected move that broke an unspoken rule in American politics, Joe Biden openly criticized the current administration during a recent speech in Chicago.

And as expected, Donald Trump wasn’t about to let that slide.

A rare move

On Tuesday, Joe Biden made his first public speech since leaving the White House at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled conference in Chicago. It was a highly anticipated moment, as many have been waiting for Biden’s response to constant attacks from Donald Trump.

Trump has made it a daily habit to blame Biden for everything from inflation and skyrocketing food prices to the ongoing war in Ukraine. He regularly dubs Biden ”the worst president the U.S. has ever had” during his press conferences. So, it was only a matter of time before Biden decided to hit back.

In a rare move that broke the unspoken tradition of silence among former presidents, Biden openly criticized Trump’s handling of Social Security.

”They want to let social security expire every five years – that was a proposal – unless re-authorized by the Congress. Who the hell do they think they are?”

He also slammed his predecessor for raising the debt ceiling after giving what Biden called a ”profligate tax” cut to the super-wealthy.

”Last time this guy had the job he raised the debt ceiling because of an enormous and profligate tax to the super wealthy.”
