Biden to Trump: 'I know the tremendous pain of losing a loved one'


Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted an empathetic message on Sunday to his political rival.

The morning after Trump’s younger brother, Robert Trump, died at the age of 71, Biden said he knows the “tremendous pain” that the president must be experiencing.

“Mr. President, Jill and I are sad to learn of your younger brother Robert’s passing,” the presumptive Democratic nominee wrote on Twitter. “I know the tremendous pain of losing a loved one — and I know how important family is in moments like these. I hope you know that our prayers are with you all.”

It would never occur to him to be kind and gracious toward an opponent, no matter how much tragedy they had gone through.

The country will be fortunate to have him as president. I'm not always sure we deserve such a kind leader.
