If you’ve ever been frustrated with someone who just won’t stop making things difficult, you’ll understand how Joe Biden feels about Donald Trump. In Bob Woodward’s new book, we learn that while Biden publicly calls Trump “my predecessor” or “the former guy,” behind closed doors, he refers to him as “that f***ing asshole.” And honestly, who could blame him?
But this isn’t just about Biden’s personal feelings. Many people across America share his frustration. A tweet from PatriotTakes captures this perfectly: “Many people are saying this: ‘While Biden rarely invokes Trump’s name publicly, referring to him as “my predecessor” or “the former guy,” in private, Biden calls him “that f**ing asshole,” Woodward writes.’”*

It’s a sentiment that others echo. Mary Claire tweeted, “Hahaha don’t we all!! Go Joe!!” She’s not alone in feeling this way. Trump’s actions have angered countless Americans, and Biden’s frustration is just a reflection of that shared anger. Another Twitter user, Sandwater & Lake, tweeted, “Because Trump is indeed a F**ing Asshole… Every decent person recognizes this…”* It’s clear that Trump’s behavior has upset many people, and Biden’s choice of words is one way to let off steam.
Hahaha don’t we all!! Go Joe!!

But let’s talk about why Biden is so angry. It’s not just because of a few tweets or insults. Biden and Trump have not had a good relationship from the start. When Trump was president, he made choices that upset many people. For example, he didn’t believe in climate change, which worried people about the planet’s future. He also made it hard for immigrants to come to the U.S., which upset families. When protests for Black Lives Matter happened, Trump sent in troops instead of listening to the people. He also pushed harmful policies that deepened divisions in the country and made it harder for people to come together. All of these actions, and many others, created lasting damage and frustration for Biden, who has had to deal with the fallout from Trump’s time in office.
Even people outside the Democratic Party have been critical of Trump. Former Republican President George W. Bush, for example, called Biden after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. According to Woodward’s book, Bush said, “I got f**ed by my intel people, too.”* This shows that Trump’s actions, even after leaving office, have left a lasting impact on the country and the world.
Biden’s anger also shows in his thoughts about his Attorney General, Merrick Garland. According to Woodward, Biden said, “Should never have picked Garland.” This is another example of how Biden is dealing with the aftermath of Trump’s presidency, and the constant challenges it brings.
Biden’s frustration isn’t just personal; it shows how many people in the country feel. Trump’s actions hurt the country, and Biden’s strong words are how he shows the frustration and chaos he’s faced. Many people share those feelings, which is why Biden’s words make sense to so many.
