During a briefing at the White House on Thursday about recovery efforts following hurricanes Helene and Milton, Joe Biden snarled that former President Donald Trump should “get a life.”
Conservatives, and Trump, have been blasting the Biden administration over their response to the devastation caused by the two back-to-back hurricanes. Amid all this, multiple issues about FEMA have prompted outrage, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announcing that the agency was about to run out of money.
Meanwhile, it has been exposed that one program under the FEMA umbrella doles out hundreds of millions of dollars to communities receiving illegal aliens. And FEMA’s “equity” plan has also drawn massive backlash.
At the White House briefing on Thursday, a reporter asked Biden, “Mr. President, have you spoken to former President Trump at all?”
Biden snarled, “Are you kidding me?”
Then to Trump, Biden sneered, “Mr. President Trump… former President Trump… Get a life, man. Help these people.”
“Will you hold him accountable?” another reportedly asked, referring to what they call false claims against FEMA.
Biden fired back, “The public will hold him accountable. You better… the press will hold him accountable, because you know the truth.”
Sharing a video clip of the moment, the RNC Research wrote: “Biden tells “Mr. President Trump” to “get a life, man” and “help these people” — then shuffles away in deranged anger. REMINDER: President Trump was on the ground meeting with and delivering aid to hurricane victims before Kamala OR Biden had done anything.”

While Biden has demanded that Trump “get a life” and “help these people,” he made no mention of all that Trump has already been doing to help hurricane victims:
Trump provided free rooms at his Doral Hotel in Miami for 275 linemen to stay, as they work to restore power in Florida.
Honored to have 275 incredible linemen from FPL at @TrumpDoral as they get ready to respond to the aftermath of Hurricane #Milton! You are amazing and the Trump Family, and entire state of Florida, appreciates you! Enjoy the rooms – they are the best in Florida! Be safe! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/HAFwuWB2fn

Trump also recruited Elon Musk to send Starlink units to hurricane victims, so they would have internet access:
Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need.
Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.
