When Joe Biden Loses His Cool

“In public, President Biden likes to whisper to make a point. In private, he’s prone to yelling,” Axios reports.

“Behind closed doors, Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast.”

“The president’s admonitions include: ‘God dammit, how the fuck don’t you know this?!,’ ‘Don’t fucking bullshit me!’ and ‘Get the fuck out of here!’ — according to current and former Biden aides who have witnessed and been on the receiving end of such outbursts.”

“The private eruptions paint a more complicated picture of Biden as a manager and president than his carefully cultivated image as a kindly uncle who loves Aviator sunglasses and ice cream.”
