The president is increasingly turning to personal, biting and often sarcastic broadsides against his 2024 Republican opponent.

As President Joe Biden works to defeat Donald Trump, he’s increasingly focused on another goal he thinks will help him achieve that: getting under his skin.

In recent weeks, both in private and public settings, Biden has ramped up personal, biting and often sarcastic broadsides against his Republican opponent, targeting his financial challenges, his campaign tempo and even his weight.

It’s a strategy largely driven by Biden himself, according to multiple aides and advisers familiar with the approach.

    It’ll be fun to watch. I guess we’ll have to wait to see how good a strategy it is, though.

      This. It’s cheesy and dumb and not exactly presidential, but easily blamed on some low-level staffer and fun to watch.

        The bar for presidential behaviour is long since dead and buried.
