It has come to light that President Joe Biden privately speaks of former President Donald Trump in sometimes vulgar terms as per Thursday’s West Wing Playbook in Politico.
Politico reported that during a speech last month in Pennsylvania, Biden remembered Trump getting chuckles from a crowd when talking about Paul Pelosi, who was attacked by an intruder with a hammer. “What a sick–” Biden told the crowd before stopping himself.
Privately, however, the president completes such thoughts:
The president has described Trump to longtime friends and close aides as a “sick f*ck” who delights in others’ misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description. According to one of the people who has spoke[n] with the president, Biden recently said of Trump: “What a fucking asshole the guy is.”
When reached for comment by Politico, the Trump campaign was indignant.
“It’s a shame that Crooked Joe Biden disrespects the presidency both publicly and privately,” campaign adviser Chris LaCivita told the publication. “But then again, it’s no surprise he disrespects the 45th president the same way he disrespects the American people with his failed policies.”
The 2024 campaign will likely prove to be just as contentious if not more so than the Biden-Trump showdown in 2020, which Trump falsely claims was rigged against him.
