Why is Joe Biden campaigning for Donald Trump? | Moustafa Bayoumi

The US president is helping to build Donald Trump's southern border wall. What is he thinking?

The question sounds ludicrous, but how else would you characterize Biden's latest pronouncement to build 20 new miles of Trump's border wall along the southern border? This is like throwing red meat to Trump's base, who will chomp and salivate over what they will portray as an admission of defeat by the Democrats on securing the border.

And why wouldn't they? Back when he was campaigning for president, Joe Biden promised not another foot" of Trump's border wall would be built. He halted construction of the wall on his first day in office with a proclamation stating that building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution. It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security."
