White House reporter reveals profanity-laden directive Biden issued against 'crazy' Trump

20 February 2024

President Joe Biden is reportedly taking the gloves off in addressing former President Donald Trump's more frequent verbal slip-ups on the campaign trail.

During a recent CNN appearance, White House correspondent MJ Lee noted that Biden personally handed down the orders to his campaign staff to hone in on his GOP rival's more unhinged statements, and even used profanity to describe the presumptive Republican nominee's gaffes.

"What we've learned is that President Biden himself personally instructed some of his top campaign aides to be even more aggressive in highlighting some of President Trump's more inflammatory and wild comments," Lee said. "We are told that the thrust of the president's direction was to significantly ramp up the campaign's efforts to highlight the 'crazy s---' that Trump says in public."

The strategy is notable for Biden, who himself will be 82 years old should he be inaugurated for a second term in January of 2025. However, the president will have no shortage of material to pull from given Trump's objectively strange and puzzling comments in recent campaign speeches.

While speaking to National Rifle Association activists in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump suggested without evidence that should Democrats win in November, they would change the name of the state. And in New Hampshire, Trump repeatedly invoked former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, mistaking her for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) when talking about security at the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection. He's also confused foreign leaders on multiple occasions, referring to Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán as "the leader of Turkey" and mistaking Chinese President Xi Jinping for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.

Biden's decision to heighten attacks on Trump's mental state may also serve as a distraction from the recent report issued by Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur, who included several unflattering comments about Biden's age and mental faculties in his nearly 400-page report that exonerated him of any criminal wrongdoing regarding his handling and storage of classified documents from his time as vice president.

Hur — who was a Trump-appointed US Attorney prior to his appointment by Attorney General Merrick Garland as special counsel — was widely criticized by legal observers for the comments, which were described by many as "gratuitous."
