Donald Trump to make first major appearance after Joe Biden's latest comments and Irish put-down

Donald Trump is set to make his first major appearance since leaving the White House later this week, according to reports in the US.

The former US President is slated to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which begins next week.

And USA Today reports the speech will focus on the future of the Republican Party and the new policies introduced by Joe Biden.

It comes after newly-elected US leader Joe Biden spoke at the site of the vaccine manufacturer in Michigan on Friday where he offered an update on the US' plans to beat the virus.

And he didn't mince his words when discussing his predecessors failure to buy enough vaccines - with a very Irish phrase, "God love him", used.

Mr Biden said: "Just over four weeks ago, America had no real plan to vaccinate most of the country. My predecessor — as my mother would say, 'God love him' — failed to order enough vaccines, failed to mobilise the effort to administer the shots, failed to set up vaccine centres. That changed the moment we took office."

The man with proud Irish heritage continued that the US is making massive leaps towards getting the whole country vaccinated and moving America out of the crisis.

Biden added: "And we’re making progress. We deployed more vaccinators, the people who put the vaccine in your arm. We’re now making it possible for retired doctors and nurses to come back and, under the law, administer these shots. We’ve put new vaccinators in the field.

"These include over 800 medical personnel from our Commissioned Corps at the Department of Health and Human Services, and personnel from the Federal Emergency Management Agency — FEMA — the Defense Department, the National Guard. We’re literally lining up — we’re lining up thousands of vaccinators, because it’s one thing to have the vaccine, and it’s very different to get it in someone’s arms."
