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.

      to be fair i think his main selling point for most people is simply that he’s not trump

      (and this is a very important quality to have in a president, just to be clear)

        It’s an important quality as president. It’s a self sabotaging quality as a presidential candidate.

        That is why democrats got Trump elected in the first place with their pied piper strategy. Just so they can still destroy the planet and threaten us that if we don’t vote for them, Trump will win. They are holding the whole US hostage as terrorists.
