WATCH: Biden Makes National Tragedies About Himself for 2 Minutes

While talking to survivors of the Maui Wildfires Monday, President Joe Biden told them he knew what it was like to lose his house because a small fire broke out in his Delaware home in 2004.
"I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it’s like to lose a home," Biden told the crowd. He said because of the fire—which firefighters called "insignificant"—he "almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette, and my cat."
Biden is no stranger to making other people's tragedies about himself. Earlier that same day, he brought up his first wife and daughter, who died in a 1972 car crash, while giving remarks commemorating those who perished in the wildfires. The death toll of the fires sits at 115, with over 1,000 missing.
