“The only person he cares about is himself,” a Biden campaign spokesperson said.

President Joe Biden’s campaign attacked former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for saying that he wouldn’t protect Europe if it were attacked.

“The idea that he would abandon our allies if he doesn’t get his way underscores what we already know to be true about Donald Trump: The only person he cares about is himself,” Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa told POLITICO on Wednesday.

The broadside comes a day after a senior European politician recounted how Trump privately warned years ago that America would not come to the EU’s aid.

“‘You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,’” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was present for their chat at the World Economic in Forum in Davos.

    Trump is a hippopotamus fart in a suit. Yet, he still commands about 90 percent of the news coverage. Of course that’s largely due to his horrible behavior and his sick campaign to run for an office he himself said he didn’t want to have anyway.

    For someone who is no longer a public official, he certainly has swayed all the media to his side. One upside to that is, I’ve rediscovered my love of reading and not having the TV on all day anymore.

      As much as I hate to admit it, any day Trump is grabbing headlines by being horrible is a good day for the Biden campaign. We had a couple years of relative quiet when he was shunned from social media. People forgot what it was like to have Trump in their feeds 24/7, the elephant in every conversation, and his polls climbed up. The concern is that we’ll repeat 2016 and get appathetic thinking “No way this guy wins”
