Former President Joe Biden was deeply critical of his successor, and predecessor, in his first broadcast interview since leaving the White House, saying President Donald Trump's first 100 days were hardly a triumph.

Speaking with BBC Radio 4's Today program, Biden touted his own record on defending the NATO alliance while ripping Trump's stance on the Russia-Ukraine war, which Trump has said he wants to see end quickly. The war broke out in early 2022, a year into Biden's term.

"It is modern-day appeasement," Biden said of Trump's attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Anybody who thinks he's going to stop is foolish."

The Trump administration has signaled Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy may have to accept Russia's control of Crimea and cede some of the Ukrainian land Russia has occupied since its invasion in 2022 as part of a peace agreement. 

"I just don't understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he's going to take significant portions of land that aren't his, that that's going to satisfy him," Biden said, adding, "I don't quite understand."

Trump has repeatedly said Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if he had been president at the time, and he's repeatedly heaped blame on his predecessor since taking office.

Relations between the U.S. and Ukraine appeared to hit a low point in February when Trump and Vice President JD Vance blasted Zelenskyy in front of reporters in the Oval Office and suggested he was preventing peace.

"I found it sort of beneath America in the way that took place," Biden said of the meeting, adding he couldn't believe Trump's rhetoric about issues like taking Greenland and making Canada a 51st state.

"What the hell's going on here? What president ever talks like that? That's not who we are," Biden said. "We're about freedom, democracy, opportunity, not about confiscation."

Biden said Trump wasn't behaving like a "Republican president" when asked if Trump was acting like an autocrat in office. His interviewer said Biden was being "diplomatic."

When questioned about his record, especially with Trump repeatedly criticizing his administration, Biden defended his achievements as president. 

"Let me tell you: when I left office, we had created more jobs than any president in the history of the United States in one term," Biden said. "Our economy was roaring, we were moving in a direction where the stock market was way up, we were in a situation where we were expanding our influence around the world in a positive world, increasing trade, we regained control of what we invented … of the future of computer chips." 

Asked about Trump claiming his first 100 days were historically great, Biden said, "I'll let history judge that. I don't see anything that was triumphant."

Trump has blamed Biden for negative economic trends, saying that he "inherited" a sinking economy from the previous administration in April. 

"It says how bad the situation we inherited," Trump told reporters in April in response to questions about the effect of tariffs on the economy. The president added that "you can even say the next quarter is sort of Biden because it doesn't happen in a daily or hourly basis." 

People protesting a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at the University of Washington in Seattle on Tuesday allegedly threw "literal human feces" at students checking in to hear a speech advocating against biological men competing in women's sports.

The event, titled "The Fight is Far From Over," took place Tuesday evening in the university's Ethnic Cultural Theater and was led by Riley Gaines and Olivia Krolczyk. It was a public event open to anyone with a valid photo ID.

Gaines initially wrote on X that protesters at UW were chanting "God is trans" before updating her post with, "the protestors(sic) just threw *feces* at the @TPUSA students at check in. Literal human feces."

Local media outlets reported that approximately 150 people were near the building protesting the speech. Many could be seen in social media videos waving transgender flags and holding signs – some vulgar – expressing opposition to Gaines and Krolczyk.

Other videos posted on social media by Frontlines, a media outlet powered by TPUSA, showed protesters in all black with their faces covered following event attendees to their cars, calling some "transphobes" and "scum of the earth" and suggesting that they kill themselves.

Some event attendees could be seen escorted by police as the agitators followed them for minutes while verbally harassing them.

"I hope you drop dead behind the wheel. F--- you!" one agitator yelled in the parking lot, among other similar sentiments.

ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS OCCUPY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BUILDING, 30 ARRESTED 

Krolcyzk, an ambassador for the Riley Gaines Center at the Learning Institute and a self-described "free speech advocate and defender of women's sports/spaces," attempted to speak at the university in January, but was met with heavy opposition.

The event was ultimately shut down after she said protests turned "absolutely violent."

"As soon as I arrived on campus, I was immediately met with confrontation. I had signs and flyers everywhere across campus telling me to leave, rallying people for the protest. It was insane – you couldn’t walk 10 feet without seeing them," Krolczyk told OutKick's Charly Arnolt at the time.

She continued: "However, it went from 0 to 100 in five minutes. It turned absolutely violent when Antifa showed up. We ended up having about 200 protesters."

The protests on Tuesday come one day after 30 anti-Israel protesters were arrested and charged in connection with occupying an engineering building on campus for hours. 

The group was demanding that UW divest from aerospace and defense manufacturer Boeing, which has a long history with the university.
