Now that Joseph R. Biden Jr. has cemented a smashing victory in the South Carolina Democratic Party presidential primary, it is time for the former vice president to gird himself for the expected barrage from the current president of the United States.

Yep, it’s going to happen.

Donald John Trump and his surrogates will resume their barrage that they turned on Bernie Sanders, still the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

They managed to pillory and plunder Biden’s name and reputation during the U.S. Senate impeachment trial by trying to link him to his son Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine.

Then Biden stumbled in early primary states. Now he’s back in the game. I believe Trump and his team are most concerned about facing Biden in the fall than any other Democrat.

Thus, I believe Joe Biden needs to prepare for the onslaught.

Get ready, Joe.
