The first speech as a president. Biden attacks Trump

Joe Biden launched an attack on his successor on Tuesday, Donald Trump, in his first public speech since he left the White House on January 20, notes AFP.

« Look what happened: no 100 days have passed and this new administration has done so much damage and so much destruction, » accused the former president, who spoke to Chicago (North) at a conference dedicated to ‘social security’, the American pension system.

« It all happened so quickly, it is amazing, » he added, in a speech of almost half an hour, sprinkled with humor moments.

Biden, 82, accused the Trump administration of attacking social security, the federal agency in charge of distributing public pensions and invalidity pensions to 68 million beneficiaries.

‘They attack social security with terrible blows, leaving 7,000 civil servants, including the most experienced. They are preparing to kick thousands of people outside the door ‘, the former head of state denounced.

‘Why do they want to rob it? It is to give the billionaires huge tax reductions’, the former Democrat president insisted, accused of delaying last year’s place the place of his vice -president Kamala Harris in the White House race, thus giving an advantage to his Republican opponent.

« Social security deserves to be protected for the good of the whole nation, » he said. ‘It’s not just about pensions. It is about honoring a fundamental connection between the state and the people, « Biden continued.
