Reporters in Lake Tahoe, California, where Biden is vacationing, asked him Friday if he’d seen the infamous ― and historic ― mug shot of the former president.
“I did see it on television,” Biden said with a chuckle.
A reporter then asked what the president thought about the pic.
“Handsome guy,” Biden deadpanned. “Wonderful guy.”
People on X, formerly known as Twitter, were amazed at the amount of shade Biden packed into four little words.

Trump is expected to surrender at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail on Thursday.
The former president was not photographed during his previous three indictments, but that is expected to change this week. Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat has said there would be no special treatment for the former president.

“It doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mug shot ready for you,” Labat told reporters earlier this month.
Nineteen people, including Trump, have been indicted in the Georgia case and have been given until Friday to surrender.
The indictment, based on an investigation led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, accuses Trump and the co-defendants of breaking state laws by engaging in a widespread scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential vote in Georgia and elsewhere.
