President Biden has a rotation of names for Donald Trump (not all of which are appropriate in public). But in recent weeks, he appears to favor a new one: “Donald ‘Herbert Hoover’ Trump,” Politico reports.
Said Biden, at a November campaign stop: “Trump is one of just two presidents who lost jobs during his four years as president. The other one was Herbert Hoover. That’s why every now and then we call him Donald ‘Herbert Hoover’ Trump.”
