Joe Biden's attempt to shame Trump backfires spectacularly as Don humiliates him again
Joe Biden and Donald Trump have extended their electoral dispute to TikTok as both likely presidential candidates seek to win over younger voters.
Joe Biden's latest attempt to shame Donald Trump over his ongoing legal issues spectacularly backfired as he became the subject of irate questions from voters.
A Biden-affiliated TikTok account sharing content on the former Republican president's conduct accidentally delivered a blow to its own candidate.
The account posted a clip on the social media platform on Sunday night about a former producer alleging that Trump had used a racial slur while filming season one of The Apprentice.
But rather than reacting to the subject of the TikTok video, the account's comment box was inundated by questions on inflation – and how Biden plans to resolve the major issue for millions of Americans.
Comments ranged from: "Why is my rent expensive" to "Why can't I afford the rent." Other poignant questions included: "Why did Joe Biden say poor kids are just as smart as white kids?"
The TikTok clip has raked up over 1.4 million views and 1,000 comments since June 2 but social media users appeared to widely sidestep the topic of the original video.
The latest attempt to take a hit at Donald Trump came 24 hours after the convicted former President joined TikTok.
He debuted on the app with a 13-second montage of his evening at a UFC fight in New Jersey showing him entering the arena and shaking hands with fans.
Within days of launching, the former president already amassed over four million followers - ten times the amount the joint Biden-Harris HQ account has since launching in February.
And Trump delivered yet another blow to the American President as records for May showed his campaign raised £110 million ($141m).
The campaign experienced an unprecedented surge in donations in the 24 hours after Trump was formally convicted on 34 felony charges in his hush money trial.

The former president shared a link to his donor website on Truth Social within minutes of the guilty verdict being read, causing it to crash almost immediately.
The Trump campaign said in a statement: "We are moved by the outpouring of support for President Donald J. Trump.
"The American people saw right through Crooked Joe Biden’s rigged trial, and sent Biden and Democrats a powerful message – the REAL verdict will come on November 5th."
They added that 25 percent of the May donors were first-time contributors.
Trump had raised £59 million ($76m) in April and more than £51 million ($65.6m) in March.
The Biden campaign hasn't confirmed its numbers for May but it raised £39 million ($51m) in April and £70 million ($90m) in March.
