Donald Trump has ridiculed Joe Biden over allegations that he inappropriately touched women, saying he was tempted to call the former vice president and welcome him to the club. Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual spring dinner Tuesday, the president said: “We’re going into the war with some socialist. It looks like the only non, sort of, heavy socialist is being taken care of pretty well by the socialists, they got to him, our former vice president. I was going to call him, I don’t know him well, I was going to say ‘Welcome to the world, Joe, you having a good time?’” The president took a second swipe at Biden later in the speech, saying he wanted to kiss a general who promised him the defeat of ISIS. “I said general, come here, give me a kiss, I felt like Joe Biden, but I meant it,” Trump told the laughing crowd. Trump has been accused by dozens of women of sexual harassment and misconduct.
