President Trump left NATO's 70th anniversary summit in London a little early Wednesday, after calling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "two-faced" in response to a viral video of Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Britain's Princess Anne apparently laughing at him behind his back during a Buckingham Palace reception. Former Vice President Joe Biden wasted little time combining that moment of mockery to others for a new campaign ad.
"The world is laughing at President Trump," Biden tweeted. "They see him for what he really is: dangerously incompetent and incapable of world leadership. We cannot give him four more years as commander in chief."
