'The world is laughing at President Trump': Biden campaigns off of NATO moment

WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Joe Biden released an ad on Wednesday capitalizing on the viral video showing several top NATO leaders appearing to chuckle about Trump, saying that the "world is laughing at" the president.

"The world sees Trump for what he is: insincere, ill-informed, corrupt, dangerously incompetent, and incapable, in my view of world leadership." Biden's voice says. "And if we give Donald Trump four more years, we'll have a great deal of difficulty of ever being able to recover America's standing in the world, and our capacity to bring nations together."

After the release of the video of the world leaders, Trump called Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "two-faced," and abruptly canceled a news conference, though he said it was "because we did so many over the past two days."

The video, first shared by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, captures snippets of a conversation between Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Britain’s Princess Anne during a reception Tuesday night at Buckingham Palace hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.

Biden's ad also highlights the moment Trump appeared to be mocked by world leaders during a speech at the United Nations last year.

"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” Trump declared, and audible laughter is heard from the audience afterward.

“Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s okay,” He responded.
