Speaking at a Nebraska Democratic Party gala in Omaha, Biden took direct aim at Trump — referencing one of Trump’s recent and controversial projects: the demolition of part of the White House’s East Wing to make space for a private ballroom.
“I knew Trump was going to take a wrecking ball to the country,” Biden said to applause. “But I had no idea there’d be an actual wrecking ball.”
“Trump has taken a wrecking ball not only to the people’s house,” Biden continued, “but to the Constitution, to the rule of law, and to our very democracy.”
The room reportedly erupted in laughter and cheers — though the comment also drew swift criticism from conservative commentators online, who accused Biden of “politicizing” the issue.
