Trump criticized Biden for attending a Democratic fundraiser in NYC instead of mourning slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller like he did.

Trump said it was a “very sad moment” Biden missed and presidents have to be part of supporting police.

“They missed a very sad moment for our country, but it’s a moment that they have to be a part of, whether they like it or not,” Trump said.

Biden attended a celebrity-filled fundraiser while Trump went to Diller’s wake on Long Island.

Trump said Biden can’t politically support police and the family may not have taken Biden’s call.

“They can’t skip this moment. I’ve never seen so many police. I’ve never seen so many firemen, a lot of firemen. They view it… in a very similar way, and I understand that. But they’re going to have to get involved a little bit because this country is going to hell,” Trump said.

“Our country is not respected anymore,” he added. “I say it in my rallies, in my speeches. We’re a nation in decline… Totally fixable, but we have to do it fast.”

“I think that politically he can’t support the police,” Trump said. “I think he’s also making a mistake, but I think politically… his base won’t let him support the police and I support the police. I would say at the highest level of any president by far, maybe double or triple, and they knew that. That’s why when I walked into that funeral parlor it was… like love.”

“They want to shy away from it,” he added. “They didn’t even call the family. They could have called… I’m not sure they’d take his call.”

Diller, 31, was fatally shot during a traffic stop by a man with 21 prior arrests.

Trump praised Diller’s family and said the country feels devastated by such killings.

“Stephanie is incredible, and they wanted me to be there, and I wanted to be there,” Trump said. “What a family, the Diller family, and they lost a a hero, really. I mean, just a hero. They’re devastated. The family is devastated. The police force is devastated. The whole country feels this way.”

“It’s happening more and more, and it’s really a lack of respect for law and order,” he said. “And we have to have law and order back in our country, and we’re going to because this can’t happen. This was a brutal murder.”

The White House said Biden supports police but did not say if he contacted Diller’s family.

“Our hearts go out, obviously, to the officer’s family and the broader NYPD family, who have tragically lost one of their own. The President grieves for them and honors their sacrifice,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said-Pierre said.

“The President has stood with law enforcement his entire career and continues to stand with them as they put their lives on the line for their communities. Under his leadership, we will continue to support police officers and ensure that they have resources they need to continue — to continue to do the work — the all-important work that they have to do on behalf of the community.”

A nonprofit announced it would pay off the mortgage for Diller’s grieving widow.
