Bro, sit down and hold on tight, because I caught a piece of news that got me thinking just as I was sipping my coffee from the vending machine. Joe Biden, the former US president, called Donald Trump "a loser" - yeah, you heard right, "loser"! It happened Saturday at a Democratic Party gala in Hanover, Maryland, about four months before the November elections, where the Dems hope to take back Congress.
And here I thought only our politicians talked like that, for real! Biden gave a 10-minute speech where he tore Trump apart. He said his vain projects - like demolishing the East Wing of the White House for a ballroom, putting his name on the Kennedy Center facade, a triumphal arch, and the $14.7 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial pool - are "defiant and flagrant corruption on a scale unprecedented in American history."
Now, let's be serious, they steal over here too, but at least we don't go for such fancy crap! Biden also accused Trump of undermining NATO and kissing up to Putin, saying he "undermined our prestige internationally more than any other president in history." And here I was thinking only we have political scandals...
But look, the Americans have their own troubles too. Now, two years after that disastrous debate between them, when Biden dropped out of the race, Trump took a second term, beating Kamala Harris. What can I say, bro, politics is the same everywhere: some argue, others win, and we watch and comment over beer.
Meanwhile, the Biden family is also stepping into the spotlight. Jill Biden published her memoirs on June 2 - "View from the East Wing" - and says Joe's cancer diagnosis, announced in May 2025, "makes you look at life from a whole new perspective." And Hunter, his son, started posting self-deprecating stuff on social media about politics, mental health, and addiction.
But Biden was criticized for pardoning Hunter on federal gun and tax evasion convictions. Well, I'd do the same if I were him - a kid is a kid, but don't say it's not favoritism! It's the same everywhere, bro: from Alba to Arges, from Botosani to Gorj, everyone covers for their own.
In the end, I'm left thinking that even at Fane's terrace, we'd have something to comment on if we had such political shows. Until then, I'm going to explain to Mioara why I'm watching American news instead of changing the bathroom lightbulb.
