No one in politics can truly be modest in the usual way it's meant. Anyone in politics has to be pushy and self-promoting to begin with. But it was nice that in the days following the election, and really even in the debates, Boden was calmly saying he believed "we" had won, while Trump was making unfounded declarations that "I" had definitely won.
During the inauguration, I noticed something again. While Trump poses to milk applause, sometimes waving, and sometimes even clapping to make people keep on applauding, Biden began to speak before the applause even died down. And when he finished, he immediately went to his seat, not having Trump's desperate need to make people cheer. Very welcome change.
I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a *****. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time
Yup, modest. And never brags.
But, he sure as hell likes killing jobs.

Lol! Corn Pop, Nelson Mandela, challenging contests of physical strength, snapping at and insulting people at rallies... Doesn't he threaten to take people out behind the shed to kick their butts on a weekly basis?

Biden is ever so amazing and modest. I know when I tell people I’m taking them behind the gym to beat the crap out them or I call people junkies, others look at me in amazement and exclaim how modest I am. I just tell them I learned it all from my Uncle Joe while I was sitting on his knee grabbing his leg hair. He didn’t tell you about the leg hair thing, did he?

Not stated above is that Biden was representing the position of the US and the International Community.
The reality is:
Quote:
Vice President Joe Biden did urge Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, with the threat of withholding U.S. aid. But that was the position of the wider U.S. government, as well as other international institutions.
• We found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his son's interests in mind, as the message suggests. It's not even clear that the company was actively under investigation or that a change in prosecutors benefited it.
People, we've got enough trouble in this country - we don't need to continue to spew mischaracterizations and wink wink statements with the intent of conveying or leaving an impression which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the truth.
And, if the intent of this statement was an example of bragging - Trump did more bragging his first day in office than Biden has ever done. When Trump brags - which is all day every day - 99% of the time it is LIE.
In the above instance, Biden tells the truth. He did in fact strong-arm Ukraine AT THE BEHEST OF THE US AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

Lol, I was going to bring up his remarkable leg hair, but then I decided he may have been being just factual there, not necessarily bragging. Just trying to be fair here.
