Joe Biden mocked Donald Trump for trying to sell ‘God Bless the USA’ bibles last month and slammed the former president and his 2024 rivel over his abortion record.

The 46th president laid into his predecessor, referring to years-old remarks Mr Trump had made during an interview on MSNBC when he said women who have abortions should be punished and mocking him for endorsing the line of leather-bound bibles sold by singer Lee Greenwood.
