Months later, Licht attended at a party at the vice president’s residence at the US Naval Observatory in the capital. It was there that Licht credited Biden with saving his life, according to the memoir.

“He is a great and kind person, and the photo taken that day of Jenny and me being embraced by the vice president of the United States will live on in our family forever,” he said.


The above quote for context; Licht is appreciative and gracefully so. So, in light of this:

Guess money overrides any gratefulness for saving ones life.
Talk about stabbing somebody in the back.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Ingrate is as ingrate does.
Karma is coming for you, dude.
But Trump-promoting Licht today to Biden: "but what have you done for me lately?"


All of these comments suggest (to my reading) that the baseline appreciation for President Biden's life-saving help is not sufficient; that somehow he should be looking to give President Biden something more than appreciation.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion if you think the collection of comments above doesn't indicate the same subtext to you. But I stand by my comments.
