WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is out to win some votes by scoring some laughs at the expense of Donald Trump.

It started with jabs about his Republican opponent’s financial problems, and now Biden regularly jeers Trump’s coiffed hair, his pampered upbringing and much more. The jokes are the latest attempt to crack the code on how to clap back at Trump, whose own schtick has redrawn the boundaries of what’s acceptable in modern politics.
