In an interview with PBS NewsHour
that aired Thursday, Biden was asked about President-elect Donald
Trump's tweets, specifically one where he called Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer "the head clown" and another in which he wrote, "Doing my
best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and
roadblocks. Thought it was going to be a smooth transition - NOT!"
Biden responded it was time for Trump to "be an adult."
Exclusive: Biden on 'what if' he ran in 2016 04:35
"Grow
up, Donald. Grow up. Time to be an adult," he said. "You're president.
You've got to do something. Show us what you have. You're going to
propose legislation. We're going to get to debate it. Let the public
decide. Let them vote in Congress. Let's see what happens."
He
continued, "It's going to be much clearer what he's for and against,
and what we're for and against, now that it's going to get down to
actually discussing in detail these issues that affect people's lives."
Biden also said it's "dangerous" for the President-elect to be skeptical of US intelligence agencies.
"I
think it's dangerous," he said in the interview. "For a President not
to have confidence in, not to be prepared to listen to the myriad of
intelligence agencies from defense intelligence, to the CIA, et cetera,
is absolutely mindless. It's just mindless."
