On-screen text
When Joe Biden passes away, Donald Trump will do nothing but disparage him.
He will not lower the flags.
He will not offer condolences.
He will not attend the funeral.
He will not allow Biden to lie in state at the Capitol by claiming he was never president — that 2020 was stolen, that Trump has been in his third term the whole time, and that any recognition of Biden is an insult to the "real" president.
He will turn a former president's death into another loyalty test and another chance to rewrite history in real time.
This is who he is.
This is what he does.
