President Biden's thoughts about former President Trump appear to be more vulgar behind closed doors than in public despite him and other Democrats routinely calling for "civility" and "decency" in politics.
On Biden's first day in office, he lectured his staff about the importance of respect and said, "I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands or buts."
However, Biden has been at the center of multiple reports detailing how he's prone to outbursts and "angry interrogations" of staff when not in the public eye. That demeanor appears to have continued as the president takes aim at Trump in private to his close allies and aides.
During conversations with his confidantes, Biden has allegedly referred to Trump as a "sick f---" who enjoys seeing others encounter setbacks, Politico reported Thursday.
