One way in which Biden is different than Trump

Biden did not spend the weekend golfing with Lindsey Graham.

Biden spent the weekend enjoying the company of his family.
,,..........

I still get a laugh out of remembering when Trump had a Band-Aid on his hand.
The White House press Secretary explained it was from when Trump was 'roughhousing' with his son Barron,
as father's often do.

The only thing Trump has ever rough housed with was a bucket of KFC.

The one thing President Biden does that Trump cannot is to speak in complete sentences and paragraphs that make sense.

5. Joe Biden's the real deal...

Hey, that KFC can get pretty zesty! Trump might get killer indigestion from over-eating. He probably relishes "The Colonel" as a symbol of the "Old South" too, a place where you just might keep a pointed white hooded gown in your wardrobe.

Joe Biden, unlike Trump, isn't a failed businessman and reality show huckster. He's genuine, experienced, and competent. What a breath of fresh air after the horror of the past four years!

6. "Roughhousing..." Translation: "....cut his hand giving Barron a backhand to the kisser."

I doubt Barron even lived in the While House. And, the times we did see him, he always looked miserable. Not that I think that I think Barron was anywhere but at his mother's lover's place. That Band-Aid was from an IV. Yet another difference: Biden's people don't treat us like we're stupid.

We rarely saw Trump's grandkids, either. That's another difference. The Biden kids and grandkids usually have genuine smiles on their faces. And, none of them have been given cushy jobs in the Biden Administration.

very end, with the family onstage taking their bows, Barron is standing right in front of his sire. Traitor puts his hands on the kid's shoulders. Kid shrugs out from under and steps away. Said everything.

At least until he's 18 and shows us what he's really like. The rest of them can all go far far away and stay there.

a girl about 9. That kid was already obnoxious! Talking about how immigrants should come legally the way right wingers do. The kid's tone and emphasis were already completely Trumpian!

He's just a cold fish. Even his family relationships are transactional.

It was telling that Ivanka's biggest memory of him showing he cared was when he bothered to give her a phone call after her college roommate had killed herself. Any other parent of means would have flown to see her, or had her flown home to spend time with them. Donald called her up though, probably because an aide suggested he needed to.

13. A Band Aid from roughhousing with Barron?

More likely from roughhousing with a prostitute. Or from being fought off by one of his intended assault victims.
