Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain on Sunday dismissed the need for President Biden to have a “big political strategy” against former President Trump, arguing the former president does enough harm to himself.

“I don’t think it’s a big political strategy to take down Donald Trump. I think Trump is busy taking himself down every day,” Klain said Sunday during an interview with MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

“And it’s important, though, for the president to make the contrast between the kind of presidency he’s brought and what he’ll do for four more years, and [what] Donald Trump has done, what Trump himself is saying he’s going to if he gets the chance to come back to the White House,” he added.

Klain’s remarks were in response to Psaki, who pointed to Biden’s speech at this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where he poked fun at the former president. When asked what he thinks of Biden’s strategy to “needle” Trump, Klain said, “I think it’s the party of it.”
