Joe Biden made a stunning display of political opportunism by taking advantage of Donald Trump's legal troubles. While Trump was facing allegations of trying to influence the results of the Georgia election, Biden posted a fundraising link for his campaign.
It was widely criticized by conservatives due to how it politicized the legal battle. Many people called it a sad day for America.
Conservatives were quick to criticize Biden for his insensitivity. Tim Meads of the Daily Wire called him out for his insensitivity, while Eric Schmitt of Missouri said that Biden was just using Trump's arrest to raise money for his campaign. Tom Fitton of the Judicial Watch also accused Biden of disrespecting the legal process.
Apropos of nothing, I think today's a great day to give to my campaign. https://t.co/Tj5cURqgQT

Trump used his social media platform to launch a fundraising drive, using a picture of his mugshot. He claimed that the ongoing legal battle against him was part of a political game being played by the Democrats. His supporters showed up in force at Fulton County, and many of them carried signs that said "Trump won Save America."
A recent poll conducted by YouGov and the Economist revealed that Biden's approval rating has continued to fall. Only 42 percent of the respondents have a favorable view of him, while 55 percent have a negative view of him. This shows that the public is losing confidence in his ability to lead.
It is very disheartening to see that the president of the United States would use a legal battle to raise money for a political campaign. This type of behavior only highlights the country's divisions and undermines the justice system's integrity. Americans deserve better leaders, and Biden has displayed time and again that he is unwilling to put the country's needs above his own interests.
