New York Times: Joe Biden Has Short Temper; Outbursts of Profanity

Charlie Spiering 14 May 2021

President Joe Biden has a short temper and sometimes unloads outbursts of profanity on his aides, the New York Times reported Friday.

The report notes Biden holds lengthy deliberation meetings and demands obsessive details from his advisors. When advisors get too technical or obscure about an issue, Biden responds with “an outburst of frustration, often laced with profanity.”

“On policy issues, Mr. Biden, 78, takes days or weeks to make up his mind as he examines and second-guesses himself and others,” the Times report continues.

The report also reveals Biden will hang up the phone on people who he feels are wasting his time.

The president leans heavily on his inner circle for governing — chief of staff Ron Klain, deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed, senior adviser Mike Donilon, and Counselor to the President Steve Ricchetti.

Biden stalls and deliberates intently on issues such as his tone toward Vladimir Putin, the report noted, appointing ambassadors, and his recent flip-flop on refugee caps.

Other details in the Times story include Biden’s love of pasta with red sauce, vanilla chocolate chip ice cream, and Special K cereal. His drink of choice? Orange Gatorade. Biden also “eschews alcohol,” according to the report that adds First Lady Jill Biden is considered a connoisseur of wines.

Meh....they'll just say he's afflicted with Tourette's.

The NYT never prints anything that doesn't push forward the rats' agenda.

Another 20 months before they can install the Secondary Usurper as Replacement Usurper, or she'll start crying.

True. I wouldn't be surprised if he also has been accusing Jill of cheating on him. Paranoia of that sort also is typical of dementia patients (although, given her track record, he may not be entirely irrational in that instance).

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Tsk...tsk...tsk and they complained about President Trump's character!

How America even remotely put up with this is beyond me.

Well in that case old lunch box Joe has had dementia for his entire adult life along with pseudologia fantastica and plagiarism.

[Smokin Joe]

Hell with that, Joe Biden causes short tempers and outbursts of profanity. Why should he be immune?

Reads like he is being set up to be removed.

Biden lashed out at HHS Sec. Becerra in meeting; NY Times reports ‘profanity-laced temper tantrums’

Despite the portrayal of President Joe Biden as “a kind, genteel, considerate old man,” it turns out this old man allegedly has a potty mouth that he sometimes uses on his own aides.

On Friday, The New York Times published an anonymously sourced report documenting the president’s behind-the-scenes behavior and, more strikingly, his profanity laced temper tantrums that it appears nobody has been exempt from, even top officials.

During one March incident, the president reportedly even “lashed out” at Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.

“During a meeting on March 30 in the Oval Office, the president lashed out at Xavier Becerra, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, for failing to have answers to his questions about the agency’s ability to take care of migrant children, according to two people familiar with the exchange,” the Times reported.

While the details of the “lashing out” were unspecified, what the Times’ sources had to say about Biden’s behavior toward his own aides suggests it was brutal.

I do not believe Joe is on top of things to the extent that he would berate an underling over an important policy issue. I suspect he was yelling about pudding or mistook Becerra for the yardman and complained that the grass was too long.
