Trump claims Obama has no faith in Biden, tried to stop him from running and even used to say 'if you wanted to see something really screwed up, give it to Joe'

 

• Donald Trump on Friday night claimed Obama did not have faith in Biden
• He appeared to be citing an anonymous quote from an August Politico report
• He also twisted Obama's words when he assured Biden he did not have to run
• Obama told Biden not to feel pressured, in the light of Beau Biden's death 
• Obama and Biden will campaign together for the first time Saturday in Michigan 

Donald Trump has tweeted that Joe Biden was not trusted by Barack Obama, claiming that Obama used to say: 'if you wanted to see something really screwed up, give it to Joe Biden to do.' 

Trump, who has reportedly been angered by Obama's recent appearances on the campaign trail, tweeted on Friday night that the former president was in truth skeptical about Biden's candidacy.

'President Obama used to say that 'if you wanted to see something really screwed up, give it to Joe Biden to do.,' Trump tweeted.

'In fact, he tried to keep Joe from running, 'you don't have to do this Joe', and then wouldn't endorse him until long after the Primaries ended. 'Joe is lost!'.'

The quote about 'screwing things up' appeared to be a reference to an August story in Politico, when Obama was quoted as having apparently told an anonymous source that Biden was error-prone.
