‘That Was The Dropping Of The Mic!’ View Hosts Crack Up At Biden Trump Slam

Former President Joe Biden drew laughs from the co-hosts of The View with a wisecrack about President Donald Trump that Whoopi Goldberg called, “The dropping of the mic!”

Biden emerged back into the spotlight this week with a BBC radio interview that was his first since leaving office, followed by a full hour on Thursday’s edition of ABC’s The View. along with former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.

The former president had a lot to answer for, including his decision not to drop out of the race earlier and the disastrous debate performance that led to that bombshell exit.

But Biden found an appreciative audience for a couple of zingers in separate exchanges.

First, co-host Joy Behar asked Biden why Trump is “so obsessed” with him, and later in the segment asked him to respond to Trump’s attacks on the pardons Biden issued:

JOY BEHAR: So, I’ve noticed that Trump can’t stop talking about you, he’s obsessed with you. As of late April, he had mentioned you and your family and your administration at least 580 times.

We’re talking shrink land now, because when you’re obsessed with somebody, you have to look in yourself and say, what is going on here?

And at his Trump’s cabinet meeting last week, your name was invoked 52 times, and he blamed you for the economic mess that his tariffs are causing. Why is he so fixated on you and blaming you for everything?

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I beat him!

(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

JOY BEHAR: And that’s it? He’s just ticked off.

I’m used to dealing with bullies.

…

Well, Mr. President, I promised I would ask you this question, because not only, they want me to ask it, not only is he obsessed with you and blaming you for everything, he’s also obsessed with the fact that you used an autopen to sign the pardons you issued right before you left office with members of your immediate family.

Now he’s calling for investigations and claiming the pardons are void and vacant.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: He’s vacant! (LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE).

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: And on my note, we are going to break, because that was the dropping of the mic!

JOY BEHAR: (STILL LAUGHING).
