Trump is not behaving like a Republican president

In the exclusive and amazing honest interview -first after he left the office -Joe Biden

The person I greet at the Delaware Hotel is hard to believe that the person who started his political career half a century earlier as “the leader of the free world” 100 days ago.

Joe Biden still spent ahead to clean the space for the explosive, by a black SUV, a curly -pieces with a pist. Nevertheless, he has seen a lot of swept away by his successor for the last three months.

Donald Trump continued to be named Biden. His political weapon. A recent analysis shows that Trump wrote more than 580 times in the office for the first 100 days. After claiming that the stock price rose at work was “Trump’s stock market,” he later condemned the stock price drop in the “Biden’s stock market.”

Until this week, President Biden (the former president maintained the title after leaving the job) greatly observed the agreement that the former president did not criticize his predecessors when he started in the office. But from the moment we shake hands, it is clear that he decided to say his words.

In the dark blue suit, the former president smiled comfortably, but the air of a man was decided in the missionary business. This is the first interview after leaving the White House, the most angry of Donald Trump’s US allies, especially Ukrainian President VolodyMyrensky.

“I found it in the way in the United States,” he said in February about the explosive elliptical office line between Trump and Jellen Ski. “And the way we talk now, ‘only the United States’, ‘I think you should go to Panama’, ‘Perhaps you have to acquire Greenland.’ [51st state]. ‘What’s going on here?

“What does the president say so? We are not our man. We are not about freedom, democracy, opportunity.”

Since Trump’s day, full of more than 100 actions, President Biden has not had a lack of goal to choose.

However, his main concern seems to be at the international stage instead of Korea. In other words, the threat he believes is facing an alliance between the United States and Europe, which has secured peace, freedom and democracy for 80 years.

A few days before the 80th anniversary of the VE Day, BIDEN took a big gold coin from my pocket and pressed it in my hand. It was a souvenir of last year’s D-Day memorial. BIDEN thinks that the speech delivered on the beach in Normandy is one of his most important things. In him, he declared that people who fought and died, “I knew that it was worth it to fight and die.”

I ask if he feels that the message of sacrifice is in danger of being forgotten in the United States. He answers not by the people. Yes. He says that the Atlantic alliance seems to be dying.

“I think it will change the modern history of the world if it happens,” he insisted.

“We are the only country to have the capacity to gather people together. [to] Lead the world. Otherwise you will have China and the Soviet Union, Russia. “

Now, at any time, the alliance is questioning. One of the former NATO figures said the VE Day Festival felt like a funeral this week. Trump complained that the United States was “torn” by allies, and JD Vance vice president said the United States is “relieving Europe.” Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, on the other hand, claimed that Europe was “free road”.

BIDEN produces all oaths of Atlantic Alliance, all members of NATO to defend all inches of NATO territory with all the power of “sacred duty” of our group power.

“I’m worried that allies around the world will start doubting if we’ve always stayed in the past 80 years,” BIDEN said.

Under his president, Finland and Sweden joined NATO. “We have done all that -and four years later we want to stay away from it.

“I am worried that Europe is not only NATO but also loses confidence in the US’s certainty and the world’s leadership to deal with other problems.”

I met President Viden at home because he was Will Mington in Delaware. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes to take the AMTRAK train in Washington DC. He traveled for 50 years after he became a senator at the age of 30. He spent more time in the government than any other president.

He was 82 years old when he left the oval office. His age did not invite the end of the investigation. “Sometimes the old man” is how the journalist Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson describe him about his book, Original Sin: Biden’s decline, concealment and his misery.

In June, his disaster live TV debate was found that Biden accidentally found him, lost his thread in the middle of the preface, and was somewhat embarrassed, saying, “We finally beat Medicare!” He soon withdrew from the campaign.

Today, BIDEN is still warm, charismatic, and the folk charm of the electoral winner, he is once slow, quiet and hesitant. When I met him in person, I knew it was difficult to imagine that he could serve for four years at the White House.

I ask Biden if he should think about his decision last year. He withdrew from President Gyeongju 107 days before the election day, leaving a limited time for Kamala Harris to establish his campaign.

“I think that’s not important,” he said. “We left when there was a good candidate, and she was completely funded.

“We didn’t think we could do what we did,” he continues. “And we were so successful in the agenda that it was hard to say, ‘No, it will stop now.’ It was a difficult decision.”

Who is he regret? Certainly withdrawal before withdrawing before, could others give greater opportunities?

“No, I think that’s the right decision.” He stops for a while. “I think so. Well, it was just a difficult decision.”

Viden went into politics to fight injustice and said he had not lost his appetite for fighting today. At last year’s D-Day celebration, he warned:

Today he extends about this. “Looking at the number of European leaders and European countries, what should I do now? What is the best way? Can I rely on the United States? They are there?”

“Instead of expanding democracy around the world [it’s] retreat. Democracy -Every generation must fight for it. “

In a recent speech in Chicago, Biden declared “no one” in the United States. I asked if Trump thinks that he acts like a monarch rather than a constitutionally limited president.

He carefully selects a reply. “He doesn’t act like a Republican president,” he said.

In our interviews, Biden later admits that he is less worried about the future of American democracy than before.

President Biden liked his role as a major figure in NATO, and in 2022, President Vladimir Putin tried to start an invasion of Ukraine, and in 2022, he placed the highest secret information in 2022 to re -talk about the skeptic world.

After fighting President Trump, President Trump wrote a chart on a chart and said that Ukraine should consider giving up his territory to Russia if he wanted to end the war.

Biden says Trump’s approach is “modern joy.”

President Putin believes that Ukraine is part of Russia, he believes he has a historical right to Ukraine, and he cannot endure the fact. […] The Soviet Union collapsed. And it is foolish for anyone who thinks he will stop. “

He is concerned that Trump’s approach will be the time to give up to Russia to other European countries.

But Viden was criticized by him about the Ukrainian war. KYIV, her allies, and some of the British, claimed that Zelensky had enough support to resist the invasion, but it was not enough to defeat Russia.

When President Putin knew whether he could win the war when he asked the point blank on TV this week, he added that he had a means to call his “logical conclusion.”

I pointed out to Biden that I had no courage to go all the way to give Ukraine a weapon.

“We gave them to them [Ukraine] BIDEN insisted that “everything is necessary to provide for independence.”

He added that he would like to avoid the prospects of “World War III with nuclear power”.

“What if Putin was really hard?” He continues. “Threat the use of tactical nuclear weapons. This is not a game or roulette.”

Viden’s faith in the last living president, born in World War II, was not clearly understood.

When he first arrived at the elliptical office, Biden put a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, an American war leader. He was born for two and a half years after the Nazis lost to the world. The United States, however, rejected Viden’s policy and value and decided to support Donald Trump’s first priority.

The world is changing with what people like Joe Biden are natural.

Biden said, “All generations must fight to maintain democracy.” Everyone will be challenged.

“We’ve done well in the last 80 years. And I’m worried that I will lose my understanding.”
