**Biden Laughs at Trump’s Mug Shot, Comments on GOP Debate**

August 25, 2023, 5:06 PM ET

President Joe Biden, currently vacationing in Lake Tahoe, has finally weighed in on former President Donald Trump’s recent mug shot. When asked by reporters whether he had seen the image, Biden chuckled and replied, “I did see it on television.” He went on to describe Trump as a “handsome guy” and a “wonderful guy.”

This marks one of Biden’s first comments on Trump’s ongoing legal troubles. The White House has mostly refrained from commenting on Trump’s indictments, but Biden’s lighthearted response suggests a more casual approach to the former president’s situation.

Trump’s mug shot was released after he was booked at Fulton County jail on Thursday evening. Alongside 18 others, Trump faces charges in a racketeering indictment that accuses him of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Trump has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the investigation is politically motivated.

It is worth noting that Trump is the first former U.S. president to have his mug shot taken. His campaign is capitalizing on this image, using it to fundraise by quickly posting it on his campaign website on Thursday night.

In addition to commenting on Trump’s mug shot, Biden also shared his thoughts on the recent GOP primary debate in Milwaukee. He expressed disappointment, stating that he “didn’t learn much.” According to Biden, the candidates failed to address key issues such as economic growth and education.

The debate, hosted by Fox News’ Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier, featured eight candidates on Wednesday night. While Trump did not attend, he opted for an interview with former Fox star Tucker Carlson instead. This interview was posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) at the same time as the debate.

When asked about Trump’s interview with Carlson, Biden stated that he had no interest or inclination to watch it, further emphasizing the divide between the two leaders.

As President Biden continues his Lake Tahoe vacation, his remarks on Trump’s mug shot and the GOP debate have highlighted the ongoing tensions between the current and former presidents. While Biden’s comments were casual, they are a clear indication that the two leaders remain at odds.
