Vice President Joe Biden has told President-elect Donald Trump to “grow up.”
Biden said this while responding to a question during an interview with PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff.
Woodruff had asked about Trump’s tweets, including one calling Chuck Schumer, senate minority leader the “head clown.”
“Grow up, Donald. Grow up. It’s time to be an adult,” he said.
“You’re president. You’ve got to do something. Show us what you have.”
On the hacking allegations against Russia, Biden said it was “dangerous” for Trump to have publicly criticised the US intelligence community over its conclusion that Russia interfered in the November election.
“It’s absolutely mindless for a president not to have confidence in or listen to intelligence agencies,” he said.
The vice-president said it would be legitimate to question intelligence and ask for more detail or disagree.
Biden said it is different than Trump claiming he knows more than the intelligence agencies.
“I know more about physics than my professor,” he said, describing that as worrisome.
He assumes Trump’s behavior will change, observing that the incoming president is surrounding himself with “very smart people”.
