The president also called Trump, who was found guilty last week in his New York criminal trial, “unhinged.”

President Joe Biden called former President Donald Trump a “convicted felon” who “snapped” after the 2020 election at a campaign event Monday.

For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” Biden told the crowd at the fundraising event in Greenwich, Connecticut. “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.”

Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. Biden addressed Trump’s conviction Friday, taking a swipe at the attacks Trump and his allies have lobbed at the justice system.

    I’m going to laugh if Trump goes to jail and another man who looks just like him appears, days later, looking like his typical, aged, orange complected, obese, and broader shouldered self. I’d just love it if the older copy announces that younger relative was tried, convicted, and jailed by mistake, and that he, himself, still plans to run for president. No one believes blood gangs exist until you see two nearly identical, close relatives, in the same room as each other.

    No one else thinks that Trump started looking noticeably different after about 2016? Maybe he just lost weight, huh? Maybe the width of his shoulders just decreased for no reason? Does he look less orange?

        I have actually successfully completed therapy. Are you familiar with gangs? Have you ever seen crime families where the sons and fathers all look nearly identical? The feds have dealt with plenty of blood gangs in organized crime families. It is typically very difficult to catch their members because they will often arrest one member who fits the exact description and picture of their target, only to have them fingerprinted and realize that the prints do not match.

        If you don’t believe there are crime families that have nearly identical members, consider younger photos of Greg Scarpa, compared to pictures of his son, Greg Scarpa Jr., photographed at around the same age.

            Why don’t you save the word “unhinged” for when you actually encounter someone who is out of control with regard to their emotions and posing a physical threat to your well being? If you can’t handle a discussion amongst adults in an online, semi-anonymous, forum, then you’re really too sensitive and should seek therapy for yourself. Are you going to be okay today, or do you need access to a therapy hotline?
