Biden's press conference this morning about ceasefire

There were a couple of questions at the end. The last one Biden answered “is that a joke?” What was the question asked?

As he began to leave the room after the conference, a reporter called out: ““Who deserves credit for this Mr President, you or Trump?”

Biden turned around and replied: “Is that a joke?”

and said, “Look Miss so-called journalist, did you not pay any attention to what I just said, loud and clear? My administration and I have been working nonstop for months to achieve this outcome. Trump had absolutely nothing at all to do with achieving this ceasefire, no matter what that lier tells you. Nothing! Do you understand me now? Do you now understand what was said?” He had nothing to lose in embarrassing her. He should’ve seized the moment to make her look like a fool. I know, he’s too nice a person, but he’ll be out of office in a few days and the blowback wouldn’t harm him. He could’ve also set a new tone for others in dealing with these fools.

They were talking about how trump stopped the war. And he's going to end the other wars by peace through strength. They alluded to Israel, Ukraine and Afghanistan were Biden's fault. I am sick and tired of the democrats not speaking up. The republicans need called out. I'm sorry but Obama yacking it up and laughing at Carter's funeral was wrong. Cold shoulder just like Kamala Harris did is the way to handle him. Got to get off the high horse. And make sure that the crap they say doesn't go unchecked. Don't give one inch to them.

Adolf Hitler said that he would fight to obtain a guarantee of security, and that peace would only be achieved through force.
