Biden carries on as normal as Trump trial continues

It must be so weird for Joe Biden. He is the 46th president of the United States and only into his fourth week and the 45th president is facing the biggest impeachment trial since....well since the last one in December 2019. Biden has taken the sensible decision to ignore what is going on in the Senate as best he can, and carry on cementing in his administration. It's like two separate worlds in the same capital. In fact while the impeachment trial plays to a mesmerised audience around the world, the two presidents, current and former, are playing no part at all. Biden, as I said, is doing what presidents are supposed to be doing, and Trump is trying his best to ignore it all by playing a round of golf every day down in Florida. Very weird indeed. Of course if Trump was still able to tweet he would no doubt be sounding off every few minutes but as it is he is as quiet as a mouse, apart from telling friends who told other friends who told the New York Times that he was mightily unhappy about his defense counsel - later denied by Trump's old mucker Senator Lindsey Graham I noticed. On the third day of the impeachment trial, Biden somewhat spoilt Trump's day by cancelling funding for The Wall, the Trump wall. Trump will be seething but surely not surprised. Best for everyone when the trial is over and done with, whatever the verdict.
