Biden: Trump's Foreign Policy Makes Me 'Guilty' That I Don't Want To Run In 2020


By Kate Riga | June 27, 2018 8:09 am

Former Vice President Joe Biden admitted that President Donald Trump’s contentious and oftentimes baffling treatment of American allies makes him feel “guilty” that he doesn’t want to run for President in 2020, according to a Tuesday Washington Post report.

“It makes me feel guilty about not wanting to [run for President],” he told the Post. “But it doesn’t make me want to. I’m not looking to live in the White House, I’ve seen it up close.”

He then walked back his comments. “But all kidding aside, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he added.

Despite his reluctance to reenter the political fray, Biden has serious concerns about Trump’s treatments of our European allies.

“The things that are the most debilitating from the perspective of most of the Europeans is the way he conducts himself when he is with allies,” Biden said. “Several of them have said to me the degree of disrespect shown is debilitating.”

Great guy but nope.

We need to trust and bring up the A team and they are looking at a future not their personal endings.

Be an advisor Joe, we need that.

After being out of office and having more freedom the thought of getting back into it may not be so appealing for someone older who has already served many years . And that he still may not win the primary.
