Jeffrey Goldberg is the journalist who broke the Signalgate story last month after he was accidentally included in a Signal chat discussing Yemen war plans. The president is known to particularly dislike Goldberg, although he was recently invited to speak with Trump in the Oval Office.
After that interview, Goldberg appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where he discussed what he described as the president’s “obsession” with his predecessor, Joe Biden, which Goldberg called “truly odd.”
When he arrived in the Oval Office, Goldberg said, the first thing the president said was, “‘I bet Joe Biden would never do this.” Goldberg added that Trump mentioned the previous president “six or eight times” during the interview.

“It’s truly odd,” Goldberg said on MSNBC. “Like, he’s gone. You’re the president. It’s just this crutch—and you see it in all his speeches—that was noticeable.”
So far, Trump has spoken about Biden, his family or his administration at least 580 times either in public remarks or on his social media site, an NBC News analysis shows. That’s an average of six times every day of his presidency.https://t.co/UB18pk2mZK
