US President Joe Biden uses a v^lgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a new upcoming book.
In public, Biden usually refers
to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” when
he talks about the 45th president at all.
“That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers
to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, according to a preview of Bob Woodward’s
tome “War,” out next week.
The president’s use of
profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021
that Biden regularly f-bombed White House aides in meetings, occasionally
switching to “bulls—t” or “dammit” as the mood takes him.
Woodward’s book is advertised
by publisher Simon & Schuster as “an intimate and sweeping account of one
of the most tumultuous periods in presidential politics and American history,”
with a special focus on Biden’s handling of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and
the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
The book includes an account of
a phone call between Biden and former President George W. Bush, in which the
43rd president consoles the commander-in-chief during the botched Afghanistan
withdrawal.
“Oh boy, I can understand what you’re going
through,” Bush told Biden, according to Woodward, adding that “I got f—ked by
my intel people, too.”
