MUNICH Speaking on German soil 75 years after the U.S. and its allies prepared for D-Day, Joe Biden described America as "an embarrassment" and its trade policies "self-defeating."
"The America I see values basic human decency, not snatching children from their parents or turning our back on refugees at our border. Americans know thats not right, the former vice president and potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told the Munich Security Conference. "The American people understand plainly that this makes us an embarrassment. The American people know, overwhelmingly, that it is not right. That it is not who we are."
Biden, 76, speaking at the annual gathering of foreign policy leaders, didn't mention Trump by name. But, despite a longstanding tradition of politics "stopping at the water's edge" and refraining from criticizing a commander-in-chief while on foreign soil, Biden took the opportunity to blast him, even veering into criticism of domestic policy as he launched into what sounded like a stump speech.
The former vice president was speaking exactly three-quarters of a century after American troops were fighting against Germans at the Battle of Anzio and Allied military staffs were deep into planning for the D-Day invasion of Normandy less than 4 months later.
Biden said: "While I cannot speak today as an elected government official who is able to set policy, I can speak as a citizen. I can offer insight into my country. I know weve heard a lot today about leadership, but in my experience, leadership only exists if somebody and others are with you. Leadership in the absence of people who are with you is not leadership.

Biden braying like a jack@ss to the German people75% of whom say they dont recognize their own country anymore and 38% of whom say they just want to leave their country. Merkels open borders policies are quickly and permanently destroying this country, they are a DISASTER.
Joe Biden, what a blowhard ignorant @ss.
Traitor Joe.
Hah! Thats a good one.
Maybe Biden is hoping to do for Germany by giving an ‘America Bad’ speech abroad as a citizen of the planet akin to what his former boss did for Egypt. Note for the Germans: it didn’t end well in Egypt.
He’s welcome to stay in Europe and never return.
I’d be happy if all these weenies wanting us to be more like Europe would do just that.
I sure wish all these embarrassed hate america types would leave..
bttt
The most embarrassing chapter of American history in my opinion is when we had an America hating muslim homosexual for president and a moronic molester for VP.
Say that on US Soil you Senile Old Pervert
What I want to say here would get my post deleted and me a warning or a time out.
Traitor Joe.

That’s superb! Trump’s got to get a hold of that for future reference.
Why was Biden invited?? By who?
Germans eat this stuff up.
two military defeats and a 50 year occupation by us makes for a bitter little group of losers.
Biduh is just telling them what they always wanted to hear.
