Did you know that Joe Biden has a foul mouth? You could probably guess, but now we know for certain that, behind closed doors, Joe Biden has disgusting things tosay about world leaders…and former President Donald Trump.
Here’s what you need to know.
At a glance:
- A new book by Bob Woodward reveals President Joe Biden’s use of vulgar language when speaking about political figures, including Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Vladimir Putin.
- Behind closed doors, Biden reportedly uses strong language, contrasting with his more measured public statements.
- The book highlights Biden’s temper and frequent use of profanity, particularly in private settings.
According to Bob Woodward’s new book War, President Joe Biden’s private language is a stark contrast to the more diplomatic tone he uses in public. While Biden has referred to former President Donald Trump as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” in public speeches, Woodward reveals that behind closed doors, Biden uses much harsher terms. In private, Biden has referred to Trump as “that f*ing ahole,” expressing frustration about his political rival in candid conversations.
The book also reveals that Biden has harsh words for other world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the spring of 2024, amid the escalating war in Gaza, Biden reportedly referred to Netanyahu as “a bad f***ing guy” in a conversation with one of his associates. Similarly, Biden is said to have used strong language when discussing Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, calling Putin “evil” and expressing disdain for the Russian leader.
Biden’s frustration with Putin even extends to his former boss, Barack Obama. Woodward reports that Biden criticized Obama for not taking the threat of Putin’s invasion of Crimea seriously enough in 2014, saying, “Obama f***ed up.” This glimpse into Biden’s private conversations shows a president who is not afraid to use profanity when discussing critical geopolitical issues.
These revelations come as no surprise to those familiar with Biden’s temper. Throughout his presidency, there have been reports of Biden’s quick temper and use of vulgar language behind the scenes. In May 2021, The New York Times described Biden’s short fuse, and by July 2023, Axios had documented several of Biden’s outbursts, including remarks like “G** dammit, how the f*** don’t you know this?” and “Don’t fing bulls me!”
Despite Biden’s more composed public demeanor, these behind-the-scenes moments paint a picture of a leader who expresses his frustrations with strong language. Whether it’s discussions about Trump, Netanyahu, or global conflicts, Biden’s private conversations reveal a more fiery side of the president.
