Ding Dong broke presidential protocol by turning a standard White House statement into a rambling, rally-like attack on Joe Biden
President Donald Trump broke White House protocol on Tuesday by using a Rose Garden speech to launch a series of rally-like attacks on his Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden. The rambling, hour-long speech on Tuesday afternoon had been billed as a statement by the president on the situation in Hong Kong, where China recently unveiled a draconian new security law that has already had a chilling effect on pro-democracy protests.
But Trump repeatedly veered off topic and attacked Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, instead. At one point, he listed a series of claims about Biden that appeared to have been drawn from an opposition-research document.
The Donald is really losing his ****.
