Former US President Joe Biden has harshly criticised Donald Trump, saying that he has "destroyed democracy". He said this at the Democratic Party's gala dinner, writes CNN.

The former president did not hold back and jokingly commented on Trump's statements about the "golden age" USA: "The only gold is what he hangs on a stone shelf".

Biden also accused Trump of putting the interests of wealthy allies ahead of the interests of the American people, "You work for us, Mr President, not just billionaires and millionaires. I'm angry."

The former president speaking about his prostate cancer diagnosis, stressing the importance of affordable healthcare, "Now Trump and his Republican friends are cutting funding for healthcare and making it more expensive for everyone."

Biden also noted the Democrats' recent election victories, saying, "The Democratic Party is back, and Americans are sending a message to Trump and his circle."

And lastly, he urged everyone to unite to protect democracy, saying, "No one, not even the president, can destroy our democracy if we fight for it together."
