Biden has a profane temper behind closed doors: report

[Social Media]

 

President Biden has a profane temper behind closed doors that contrasts with his folksy, affable public demeanor, according to a report.

Axios reports that, according to current and former aides, the president has a short fuse and is prone to eruptions such as, “God dammit, how the f–k don’t you know this?!” and “Get the f–k out of here!” 

 

Biden also aggressively interrogates aides to the point that some try to avoid meeting alone with the president, according to the report.

However, Axios cited aides who say facing an outburst from the president is a sign of respect, and that the behavior signals Biden’s high expectations for those around him. 

In public, Biden is less prone to profanity — though has occasionally cursed on hot mics.

Among the president’s perceived political strengths is empathy and his “regular Joe” persona, despite spending his entire career in Washington. His speeches are often filled with folksy anecdotes, calls for civility and even whispers to emphasize some points.

Axios notes in a podcast accompanying the report that those public habits contrasts with his raising the volume in private settings.

Biden’s top challenger in 2024 is once again former President Trump, who lost his own reelection bid to Biden in 2020.

 

FULL STORY

[KhunLA]

He's not that cool headed on either side of the door.  A bit snappy now & then, when asked a simple question.

 

Thankfully his snap decisions need approval from others.

[JonnyF]

No surprise here.

 

You don't need to be Dr Phil to see through the public demeanour. I've seen holograms with more substance.

 

Fortunately he's just rolled out for public events these days. The decisions are made elsewhere. 

[Tug]

Another nothing burger pure desperation on the Republican side mehh……..

[bamnutsak]

OMG, he's a demanding boss. 

 

It's the end of America.

 

I do find it strange that the right wingnut jobs can't stay consistent on President Biden. One minute they say he's comatose in the basement, then he's head of a crime syndicate, then he's evil incarnate. In this thread he's

Have you thought of sharing this revelation in any journals? Your remarkable insight is wasted on the forum ????.

"The right wingnut jobs can't stay consistant" you say. 

 

How about this for consistancy...

 

How it started.

 

“I am not joking when I say this … if you ever work with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect … talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot … on the spot. No ifs, ands, or buts,” he cautioned on the first day of his presidency.He said everybody has to be treated with decency and dignity which he said had been “missing in a big way in last four years,” in an apparent reference to the turbulent years of Donald Trump’s presidency."

How it's going.

 

"Axios reports that, according to current and former aides, the president has a short fuse and is prone to eruptions such as, “God dammit, how the f–k don’t you know this?!” and “Get the f–k out of here!” 

From the OP

 

Like everything Biden the public perception is nothing like the reality. This is no decent and kindly grandpa figure.

 

 

[ezzra]

Is that what it take to run a country? to be a gutter mouth and a bully? sadly, that's what the US presidency has lowered itself to.

Stephanie Grisham describes Trump anger toward her and others as ‘terrifying’

 

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham in a new book says former President Trump’s anger toward her and others was “terrifying.”

 

Grisham, who served as press secretary for nine months before moving to the first lady’s office, writes in her new book, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” that she started to regret her decision to work in the West Wing when she saw Trump’s temper “wasn’t just for shock value or the cameras.”

 

“When I began to see how his temper wasn’t just for shock value or the cameras … I began to regret my decision to go to the West Wing,” Grisham writes in the book, according to The New York Times, which obtained the manuscript.

Yes we know Trump is volatile, but the problem with this biden story is the false narrative. The lie that Biden is an honest and kindly grandad figure. Had the mainstream media painted Donnie falsely as a kindly grandfather figure then it would be problematic too. Misinformation is a major problem. I hope we can all now see that Biden behind closed doors is a nasty piece of work, as is anyone that abuses staff like that.

Has the publisher been sold to Fox?

Well it sounded like you used it to include anyone who is a democrat or a Biden supporter which is of course a gross perversion of the word even with its current meaning as an attack word.

So, on the one hand Joe Biden suffers from dementia. On the other hand he's controls his temper in public. Which is to say possesses situational awareness the lack of which is also a halllmark of dementia. In addition he "aggressively interrogates" his staff. In other words, his thinking is cogent enough to conduct interrogations.

Same, displaying what an assertive leader should do, expect high standards with strong boundaries.

 

Ted Kaufman, Biden's longtime chief of staff when the future president represented Delaware in the Senate, told Axios that Biden's process is policy-driven, and has made him a strong executive.

"If there is something that's not in the brief, he's going to find it," he said. "It's not to embarrass people, it's because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision."

Biden's defenders acknowledge he can be tough. But they also say he can be more generous and compassionate than many powerful politicians and can make them feel like family. That's partly why so many aides have worked with Biden for decades, and go in and out of his orbit, they say.

Old senile people often have temper tantrums.  But many idiot US voters voted him in, so tough luck, put up with him.

That's it, convince yourself that he is not what he most clearly is, an old, actually very old, senile, stumbling embarrassment.

Really…..who cares?  If it’s behind closed doors, that’s where it should stay.

Not as bad as the idiot voters who voted for Trump.  But then, losers are going to lose.

Please, a couple of times he mildly snapped at a reporter. If he's really so hot-blooded that means his self-control in public is excellent. Otherwise the accusations of being deceptive make no sense. In fact, given that virtuallyl everyone behaves different publicly than privately, maybe the whole world is suffering from dementia? Marianne Williamson is supposed to be a horror show behind the scenes. Is she suffering from dementia. How many public persons are reported to have a different personality behind the scenes? Are they all suffering from dementia. Your allegations are, as usual, baseless.

[Yellowtail]

In all fairness, I have to side with the President on this one, if all those morons on his staff worked for me, I'd be pretty hot as well. (just kidding) 

 

The article claims the President said:  “God dammit, how the f–k don’t you know this?!” and “Get the f–k out of here!”, but it fails to say who the President is talking to or what the topic is.

 

If the President is talking to a high-ranking military advisor about something important that they should clearly know, I believe that while still inappropriate, it is excusable.
