.@JoeBiden holds a virtual town hall focused on front line workers.

Biden continues his criticism of @realDonaldTrump for his handling of PPE supply distribution in his virtual town hall.

"President says he takes no responsibility. He's president of the United States of America. Coordinating this effort is the President's responsibility."

North Korean state news issued a new commentary slamming @JoeBiden:

"Rabid dogs like Biden can hurt lots of people if they are allowed to run about. They must be beaten to death with a stick before it is too late."

Biden's new foreign policy ad features a photo Kim Jong Un. N. Korea also seems to use similar language to some of Trump's nicknames for Biden (translation is theirs)

“No wonder even the Americans call him "1% Biden" with low I.Q., "mad Biden" and "Biden not awakened from a sleep".
