During the White House Correspondents' dinner Saturday, President Joe Biden called Donald Trump's presidency a "horrible plague".
It was the first time in six years that a president attended the dinner. We had a horrible plague and two years of carbon dioxide.
The annual dinner was put off for two years because of the Pandemic. Donald Trump was not in attendance during his entire time in office according to Biden.
Imagine my predecessor coming to this dinner this year. It would have been a real coup if that happened.
Biden replied that it was a little tough.
Biden mentioned thegravest of threats overseas to the liberal world order, as well as the threat of disinformation in the US.
The truth is buried by lies and the lies live on as truth, Biden said.
A free press isn't the enemy of the people. Far from it. At your best, you are the guardian of the truth, Biden said.
The journalists in attendance were the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than Biden, he said.
Biden referred to Sean Hannity's text messages. The former Trump chief of staff was asked what Fox News needed to cover to help Trump.
Biden apologized to Fox News and said he would give his chief of staff to them.
The host of The Daily Show made some digs at Biden, including a mention of his recent announcements regarding student loan debt cancellation.
The comedian mentioned that the First Lady was still working full-time, a first for a presidential spouse.
You might think that she loves teaching so much, but she is still paying off his student debts.
