Describing the incident, Trump stated, "When Obama walked Biden out a couple of weeks ago off the stage, he did not have to do that. He could have let him wave to the people a little bit longer." Trump interpreted Obama's actions as demeaning, adding, "Obama comes along, grabs him, 'Come along Joe' like he was a child. It made him look so bad." David Rodriguez Munoz / USA TODAY NETWORK
The former president insisted that this interaction was poorly received within both camps. "I know people with Biden and I know people with Obama. They were not happy about that," Trump claimed. He repeated his characterization of the incident, emphasizing, "It made him look really bad, like a child, like a child."

The interview also touched on the Democratic primary process, with Trump alleging irregularities in Biden's nomination. "This guy got 14 or 15 million votes, delegates, he had the votes of the ghosts of the process," Trump claimed, though he did not provide evidence to support this assertion.
