Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of trying to make the transition as difficult as possible exactly four years after Trump sent a MAGA mob to the Capitol to try and prevent the certification of Biden’s 2020 election victory.
“Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult as as possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Fear not, these “Orders” will all be terminated shortly, and we will become a Nation of Common Sense and Strength. MAGA!!!
Despite Trump’s claim, it was his administration that engaged in unprecedented stonewalling of the incoming Biden administration after the 2020 presidential election.
According to Politico, for weeks, the Trump campaign did not reach out to the Biden campaign. The White House and federal agencies did not brief the Biden transition team. No background checks were being done for job applicants and no security clearances were being conducted for potential Biden staffers.
All that as Trump continued to push the lie that widespread fraud cost him the election.
Then, exactly four years ago, on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump incited a mob of his supporters to storm the Capitol to prevent the certification of Biden’s election victory.
Supporters of the former and future president ransacked the Capitol building as they stormed through the halls hunting down lawmakers and smearing feces on the building’s walls.
In contrast, Biden has accepted the results of the 2024 election after Trump defeated his VP Kamala Harris. The president also met with Trump at the White House and said he will attend his inauguration, even though Trump skipped his.
The transition is also going smoothly except for a delay in November because Trump officials refused to sign critical transition documents
