President Joe Biden is weighing in on Donald Trump‘s guilty verdict … and, unsurprisingly has taken shots at his political rival — saying the dude’s reckless for suggesting it was rigged.
46 spoke to the media Friday — where he was mostly addressing the situation in Israel-Gaza — but right from the jump, he chimed in on DT’s conviction Thursday … where he was found guilty of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records.

Joe dove right in … saying nobody was above the law, and that Trump got a fair trial just like everyone else in the country … despite the ex-Prez strongly claiming he got a raw deal.
On the issue of Trump blaming Biden and his administration for the hush money case being brought in the first place — suggesting it was political persecution — JB noted nothing could be further from the truth … pointing out this was a state case, and not a federal one.

Joe says the jury heard the evidence and made a decision … going on to say that Trump telling the world the fix was in is incredibly dangerous, not to mention irresponsible as a frontrunner. He says he runs counter democracy and justice … and that the verdict should be respected.
When reporters asked him what he thought about DT claiming to be a political prisoner — all from Joe’s doing — he simply smirked and walked away. Clearly, he thinks that’s a total joke.

Prior to this, Biden’s campaign issued its own statement, — echoing what Joe said today.
Trump also spoke out on his historic verdict, as he addressed the crowd outside the courthouse … where he called the trial “rigged.” He took to the podium on Friday as well for his own press conference … where he further decried the verdict, airing all his grievances.

These two guys are set to face off in a debate next month … so they’ll see each other soon.
