Donald Trump shares Biden video recalling childhood, ‘coloured kids’

US president Donald Trump on Tuesday posted a video clip of Joe Biden’s first public speech since leaving office. The post appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account — without a caption.
The video showed Biden speaking recalling his own early exposure to racial segregation, saying he had never seen “black people” before moving to Delaware from Pennsylvania as a child. While telling the story, Biden used the outdated term “coloured kids”.
“I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called ‘coloured kids,’ on a bus,” Biden said. He explained that this moment helped him understand the reality of racial injustice and shaped his political outlook.

On social media, reactions poured in. One user wrote, “Biden can’t help himself. He’s been a racist all his life.” Another commented, “Perhaps Trump was saying this man didn’t have the capacity to make conscious decisions for the country.”
In the same speech, Biden took aim at Republican lawmakers. “Social security is more than a government programme. It’s a sacred promise,” he said, accusing his opponents of trying to “cut and gut” it. He added, “Who the hell do they think they are?” before stopping himself and saying, “I’ll get in trouble.”
Though Biden never mentioned Trump by name, he appeared to respond to past claims by Trump and Elon Musk about fraud in Social Security.
