IOWA (AP) – Joe Biden has built his 2020 presidential bid as a case against President Donald Trump, but he got especially exasperated Saturday about the state of Trump’s America as he made his final weekend swing ahead of Monday’s Iowa caucuses.

Biden added off-the-cuff frustrations to his usual Trump criticisms, delighting about 500 people packed in a Cedar Rapids high school gymnasium.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s almost hard to believe?” he said, his voice rising. “His ridiculous tweets!” At another point, he said: “This is bizarre.”

“Crazy!” one supporter interjected. Biden replied: “It’s more than that. It’s dangerous!”

At one point, he even apologized for his intensity, and he returned to his usual argument that Democrats’ nominating fight center around choosing the best nominee to topple Trump.

““Folks, this is bigger than the Democratic Party,” he said. “This nation has to come together.”
