President Donald Trump spent Memorial Day weekend in Japan, where ― despite being an ocean away ― he seemed more than a little preoccupied with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Trump set the tone Sunday with a tweet in which he both downplayed recent North Korean short-range missile tests and parroted a recent piece of North Korean propaganda attacking the former vice president.

Now that Memorial Day has passed and Trump is headed back to the U.S., Biden’s team has responded.

“The president’s comments are beneath the dignity of the office,” deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a statement.

She continued:

To be on foreign soil, on Memorial Day, and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow American and former Vice President speaks for itself. And it’s part of a pattern of embracing autocrats at the expense of our institutions — whether taking Putin’s word at face value in Helsinki or exchanging ‘love letters’ with Kim Jong Un.

For comparison’s sake, here’s Trump’s original tweet, which he sent early Sunday local time, just prior to joining Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for a round of golf and watching a few sumo wrestling matches. (And here’s more on the anti-Biden propaganda piece, released by the state-run Korean Central News Agency last week.)
