On November 11, Joe Biden took to X to share a message on Veterans Day, using quotes from former President Donald Trump in the video.

"Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers," and "That guy is smart, why did he join the military?", were just some of the quotes included that Donald Trump has reportedly said in the past.

Biden seemingly shared the video to show his respect for fallen soldiers on Veterans Day, however, many think it was distasteful as they say he was using this day for a political campaign.
