At a California fundraiser, President Joe Biden ridiculed former President Donald Trump, the Republican opponent. The president is scheduled to visit Seattle this weekend in order to gather additional funds, having already visited the Bay Area to meet with Democratic contributors. This spring, President Biden has been criticizing Trump more and more. He has made fun of Trump's suggestion that people inject bleach to combat COVID-19 in 2020.

President Biden joked during the fundraiser about Trump's remark that he "wished he had done it a little bit himself" in reference to injecting bleach. The president had earlier made light of Trump's attempt to inject bleach himself, joking that "it all went to his hair." He also took issue with Trump's supposed desire to accept $1 billion in political contributions from oil CEOs as well as his admiration for Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea.
This demonstrates President Biden's continued attempts to denigrate and disparage his Republican opponent, demonstrating a lack of regard for the outgoing leader. These remarks demonstrate President Biden's preference for making fun of his opponents over paying attention to pressing problems. It's critical that the president refrain from petty assaults on political adversaries and maintain his or her focus on governing.
