Former President Joe Biden is speaking out ahead of his new memoir’s release — and sounding off about President Donald Trump.
In what’s being billed as his only new interview to promote his book, Biden spoke with People magazine at his home in Wilmington, Del., about a variety of topics — including several relating to President Trump.
“What’s your reaction to the Trump ballroom and the East Wing being destroyed?” People’s Nick Maslow asked the former president.
“Almost as disturbing as the gold bars on the walls of the White House and the Oval Office,” Biden replied. “I mean, what the hell are we talking about? I find it disturbing … I’ve viewed the president’s judgment in tearing down the East Wing and a number of other things as nothing more than to try to create monuments to himself: ‘I built that.’ I find it beneath the country.”
Biden was also asked about his son, Hunter Biden. The former president defended the pardon he gave his son, and others in his orbit.
“I watched the modus operandi of Trump,” Biden said. “He goes after people without any basis, whether they’re viewed as an enemy. I knew what he would do. If I hadn’t pardoned — not just some of my family members, anyone who’s dealt with me — he would go back and try to do harm to them, as I’ve observed.”
Biden was also asked about the letter Trump left him in the White House during the presidential transition in 2021. The 46th president admitted it surprised him.
“That could have been written by President [John F.] Kennedy to me or by President [Lyndon] Johnson or by George Bush,” Biden said. “I mean, it was gracious, it was generous, and it was totally inconsistent with the kind of president he’d been.”
On his infamous June 2024 debate with Trump, Biden said, “Look, I don’t know anybody who hasn’t made a mistake in a debate. To me, it was not very consequential. First of all, I thought there’d be another debate, which there wasn’t. But notwithstanding the fact that there wasn’t another debate, it didn’t disturb me because it wasn’t consequential.”
