“You gotta be kidding”: Trump reacts to Biden signing with CAA.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday reacted incredulously when he heard the news that former President Joe Biden had signed with the massive Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

“You gotta be kidding. He signed on with a talent agency?” Trump said.

“He’s got some entertainment agents now,” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy responded.

“I think he’s got much bigger problems than that, but I wish him well,” Trump said.

CAA, which has ties to former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, previously represented Biden from 2017 to 2020. There is no confirmation of Biden’s post-presidency plans, but he did publish a memoir, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,” in 2017 when he was with the agency.

CAA is often known for representing celebrities and film and television stars, but politicians and social advocacy groups sometimes work with it to produce work. The Obamas, for example, work with CAA through their production company to produce films and TV shows.
