On ‘The Ingraham Angle’ on Fox News, US President Donald Trump suggested there was one thing he admired about Joe President, his presidential predecessor in the Oval Office.
Trump has repeatedly gone on the record to criticize Biden – constantly questioning the former President’s competence, including when speaking to Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin in the context of Irish-US trade – and Biden has hit back in kind.
In an interview in January, Biden said he still believes he could have beaten Trump in 2024 election, if he was given a chance. The relationship between the duo – which plunged to new depths in recent days when Trump declared Biden’s pardons as “null and void.” – is clearly acrimonious, and Trump continued his public derision of Biden on Fox News on March 20.
When asked by host Laura Ingraham about his lack of sleep, Trump fired a barb the way of Biden. “The only thing I totally admired about ‘sleepy Joe Biden‘ is the following: he’d go to a beach, he’d lay down in a cot, barely able to get his feet through the sand,” he said.

“He’d lay down, and within minutes, he’s sleeping, and you have cameras watching him. I could never do that. I would never be able to sleep like that.”
Trump continued: “That’s about the only thing I think was wonderful. He was a disaster. This man is a disaster.
“I don’t sleep much. You don’t sleep much. A lot of people who love what they’re doing don’t sleep much, I find. And so far it’s been okay.”

Meanwhile, controversial MMA star Conor McGregor confirmed he wanted to run for Irish President just days after meeting Trump at The White House.
McGregor took to social media to announce his decision, uploading a picture, in which he wore his “Make Ireland Great Again” hat that was given to him while on his Washington DC trip.
McGregor announced his political ambitions just days after he controversially declared that “Ireland is on the cusp of losing its Irishness” due to the “illegal immigration racket.”
Tánaiste Simon Harris didn’t mince words as he blasted McGregor’s White House visit for St. Patrick’s Day.
In an interview outside the Irish consulate in New York City, Harris said that McGregor “is not here in the United States representing Ireland or the people of Ireland.”
