This isn't a personal grudge match - it's a struggle for the fate of democracy, FFS.

Biden should keep his eye on the ball on the campaign trail (which, until now, he has admirably done). There will be plenty of opportunity for personal schadenfreude in private.
People want to hear him address THEIR concerns.

Given the immense stakes, publicly indulging in this personal crap is self-indulgent.

Did FDR ever publicly gloat? (No.) Good rule when fighting fascists: do what FDR did.

Debbie Downer (aka Cassandra) checking in.

Focusing on Trump's personal financial difficulties presents two potential traps:

  1. Letdown when Saudis/Russians or some other despicable autocratic regime bails him out. Which will come with a very UNfun new threat to Nat'l Security.

2.Trump the person is no longer the real threat. Those VERY FLUSH billionaires banded together in furtherence of their "2025 plan" is. Continually spotlighting their tool (Trump) distracts from that.
