Joe Biden has ripped into Donald Trump just moments after the former President announced his plans to reclaim the White House in 2024.
The current Commander in Chief wasted no time in highlighting some of his predecessor's failures while he was in office between 2017 to 2021.
Biden posted a video to Twitter that had a caption saying Trump 'destroyed America' during his time as President.
The one-minute clip highlighted all the major issues that plagued the then-President, including low job numbers, his statements on abortion and potentially pardoning the people involved in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, 'attacking healthcare', and others.
Joe Biden has also touched on his intentions to run for US President when Americans head to the polls in two years.

Shortly after the midterm elections this month, the current leader said: "I think everybody wants me to run, but we’re going to have discussions about it."
He said he will take time over the holidays and New Year period to have a think about whether he will contest the 2024 election or let someone else take the reins.
Whether he does or doesn't, the Democrats will be coming up against a fired-up Donald Trump.
He revealed to people at his Mar-a-Lago estate that he felt compelled to run.
"I didn't need this, I had a very nice easy life," Trump explained to his loyal supporters. "A lot of you people don't need it [...] but we need to save our country."
He said America was a 'nation in decline' and he believes he's the one who will bring it back to its former glory.
"This decline is not a fate we must accept," he said.
"When given the choice, boldly, clearly and directly, I believe the American people will overwhelmingly reject the left's platform of national ruin.
"And they will embrace our platform of national greatness and glory to America."
He added: "We've always known this was not the end, it was only the beginning to rescue the American dream.
"In order to make America great and glorious again I am tonight announcing my candidacy for President of the United States."
Trump said his campaign will be stooped in making America great again, as well as figuratively ripping the Democrats from limb to limb.
"Radical left Democrats have embraced that extreme ideology of government domination and control," he told his supporters at his 2024 announcement.
"Our approach is the opposite, one based on freedom...individual responsibility and just plain common sense."
