President Donald Trump hit former President Joe BidenWednesday over the Democrat's immigration policies, hours after the former president stepped back into the public eye for the first time since leaving office.

'Sleepy Joe Biden,THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, has allowed millions and millions of Criminals, many of them murderers, drug dealers, and people released from prisons and mental institutions from all around the world, to enter our Country through it’s very dangerous and ill conceived Open Border,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

'Sorry, but it’s my job to get these killers and thugs out of here,' the president added. 'THAT'S WHAT I GOT ELECTED TO DO.MAGA!'

On Tuesday, Biden made his first post-presidential addressbut didn't touch Trump's controversial immigration policies.

Instead the Democrat - who was addressing theAdvocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled national conference in Chicago - took on Trump and Elon Muskfor DOGE's dismantling of Social Security.

'Who in the hell do they think they are?' Biden loudly asked.

While it was clear he was aiming his ire and Trump and Musk, he refused to say their names during his nearly 30-minute speech.

'Why are these guys taking aim at Social Security now?' the former president asked. 'They're following that old line from tech startups - the quote is "move fast, break things." They're certainly breaking things. They're shooting first and aiming later.'

Biden said they were creating 'needless pain and sleepless nights.'

The ex-president quoted Martin O'Malley, theCommissioner of the Social Security Administration during his administration and the man who introduced the former president at Tuesday's event.

'My friend Gov. O'Malley knows what they're really up to, he says, and I love this quote - they want to wreck it so they can rob it,' Biden went on. 'Why do they want to rob it? To deliver huge tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations and keep it going.'

Biden also commented more broadly on the state of the country and took on the MAGA movement.

'I said I've been doing this a long time, it's never been this divided. Granted it's roughly 30 percent, but it's a 30 percent that has no heart,' the former president said.

Prior to Biden's speech Tueday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt mocked the 82-year-old former president.

'My first reaction when seeing former President Biden was speaking tonight was: I'm shocked that he is speaking at night time,' Leavitt said from the podium Tuesday.

Following Biden's disastrous Atlanta debate performance last June, Axios reportedthat the president was 'dependably engaged' between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.Outside those hours, aides told the news site, Biden would 'have verbal miscues and become fatigued.'

'I thought his bedtime was much earlier than his speech tonight,' Leavitt cracked to the press corps.

The White House has also been ruthless toward critics of Trump's hardline immigration policy.

Communications Director Steven Cheung ripped Democratic Maryland Sen.Chris Van Hollen for going to visitKilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian migrant accidentally deported by the Trump administration earlier this year.

'Chris and his bedwetting friends have shown more concern and sympathy for an illegal MS-13 gang member than victims of horrific migrant crimes,'Cheung said.'He is a complete disgrace to his office and should be thoroughly shamed for his disgusting actions.'

Vice President J.D. Vance posted a rant on X Tuesday night where he lambasted 'bulls*** arguments' from those demanding due process for illegal immigrants.
