I will be the first person to admit that under no circumstance, would I have ever expected Donald Trump to stick up for Joe Biden.
That, however, is exactly what happened after North Korean leadership called Biden a ‘rabid dog’ and suggested beating him to death.
Trump Defends Joe
President Trump has taken considerable heat for not speaking up when some rather outrageous things have been said about Trump’s critics on social media.
Six months ago, I have little doubt Trump would have let something like this go, then the media would have ripped him for not speaking out.
Trump has clearly learned when he needs to cow to the rules of today’s media and Democrats to avoid such scrutiny.
When a story broke with North Korea slamming Biden, Trump stuck up for Joe Biden, but also managed to take a bit of a shot at him in the process…
Mr. Chairman, Joe Biden may be Sleepy and Very Slow, but he is not a “rabid dog.” He is actually somewhat better than that, but I am the only one who can get you where you have to be. You should act quickly, get the deal done. See you soon! https://t.co/kO2k14lTf7

Everyone Ignores It
I cannot stress enough that had Trump ignored the statement by North Korea, we would still be hearing about it.
With Trump sticking up for Biden, however, he does not even get a small nod from the mainstream media.
Even Joe Biden ignored the fact that Trump defended him, only saying he would wear the insult by North Korea as a “badge of honor.”
The Expected Spin
While Democrats will not mention Trump, they will say that threat by North Korea only makes it very clear that Biden is the man for the job.
They will undoubtedly spin this as North Korea fearing Biden while treating Trump likes its puppet.
Of course, we all know that to be untrue.
Trump is the one that brought North Korea to the table for ongoing negotiations to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
Those negotiations have recently stalled, but Trump is still very hopeful this deal can be done and the U.S. and South Korea, in a show of good faith, have canceled military exercises in the hopes of getting this deal done.
