except, the story was about how Barry wouldn't come to the White House for a ceremony while Trump was President...

3. Great point but let's not push it. I'm sure the Obama's are not eager for a trip to The White House with Dotard for a portrait unveiling. In fact, politically speaking if Lard Ass has any smarts he would put Obama on the spot and invite him knowing Obama probably would graciously decline.

4. Glad he's pointing this out.
Asshole trump won’t even have the now-traditional ceremony unveiling the presidential portraits of a predecessor.
What a small man. A truly tiny man. Absolutely microscopic. Especially compared to HIS towering predecessor.
donald, you will NEVER measure up to President Obama, you miserable micron.
Hell, you don’t even measure up to Herbert Hoover.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/politics/white-house-portrait-unveilings/index.htmlHere is the story, from CNN...
Despite initial talks between the current administration and its predecessor to pick a date this spring for the portrait event, communication has now broken down to the point of indefinite postponement.Political hard feelings are likely what could kill the presidential portrait tradition, which regardless of the frosty emotions Trump has for his predecessor, would likely have been canceled during this time period anyway because of the coronavirus pandemic.https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/498535-obama-to-skip-portrait-unveiling-at-white-house-nbc-newsFormer President Obama is uninterested in participating in the tradition with Trump in office, while Trump has lately stepped up his attacks on his predecessor and accused him of unspecified crimes.

7. If you read the entire interview, it is clear Biden was kidding.
Out of context, the statement was a total gaffe. In context, it was part of a playful give and take over the course of a 20-minute interview.
