ICYMI: Biden wishes Trump a happy birthday ‘from one old guy to another’
Joe Biden wished Donald Trump a happy birthday on Friday, “from one old guy to another.”
Biden offered the birthday wish in a post on X, offering Trump the platitude that “age is just a number,” likely a not-so-subtle reference to the numerous concerns raised over both men’s ages as one of them will take the White House in November.
The post wasn’t all chummy birthday wishes though...

DNC to put up billboards of Trump’s Milwaukee comment across city
The Democratic National Committee is putting up billboards in 10 locations across Milwaukee featuring former president Donald Trump’s reported slating of the city that will host the Republican National Convention next month.
During a meeting with House Republicans on Thursday, Trump reportedly called Milwaukee, Wisconsin a “horrible city”.
Republicans scrambled to defend the former president, first denying he said it, then giving different explanations about the context before Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote that he had been referring to crime and voter fraud.
Nevertheless, the damage was done and the comment spread like wildfire with the Democrats seizing on it, given the importance of Wisconsin in the upcoming election.
DNC Spokesperson Addy Toevs said in a statement: “Donald Trump has made his contempt for Wisconsinites and their home clear. Just yesterday, he called Milwaukee – which will host the RNC in July – a ‘horrible city.’ The dislike is mutual – in 2020, Wisconsin handed Trump a one way ticket back to exile in Mar-a-Lago and sent President Biden to the Oval Office. In November, they’ll do it again.
“Thanks to President Biden, Wisconsinites are seeing job creation, higher wages, and lower costs on things like prescription drugs and health care. That’s in sharp contrast to Trump, who cost Wisconsin more than 80,000 jobs during his term, incentivized companies to ship jobs overseas, and rolled back worker protections. Trump hates Milwaukee because Milwaukeeans know exactly who he is – a sore loser who they’re going to make a two-time loser this November.”
