‘Get the f**k out of here!’ Biden’s reported ugly temper out of public’s eye suggests ‘Dark Brandon’ all too real

July 10, 2023 | | Print Article

“Dark Brandon” is darker than we thought.

Despite campaign promises to “restore honor and decency to the White House” — and contrary to the ice-cream-eating “kindly uncle” public image his handlers have cultivated for him – President Joe Biden is reported;y known for hurling curse-laden blasts of fury at his staff when he is “behind closed doors.”

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

Be it a low-level aide or a senior staffer, they are at risk of being on the receiving end of Biden’s fury.

According to one administration official, “No one is safe.”

Like a power-hungry bully, Biden reportedly doesn’t just throw angry tantrums, he interrogates aides like a furious drill sergeant.

“He’ll grill aides on topics until it’s clear they don’t know the answer to a question — a routine that some see as meticulous and others call ‘stump the chump’ or ‘stump the dummy,'” Axios reveals.

And not unlike victims of emotional abuse, aides apparently view their verbal bludgeonings as a sign of respect.

Reports Axios: “Being yelled at by the president has become an internal initiation ceremony in this White House, aides say — if Biden doesn’t yell at you, it could be a sign he doesn’t respect you.”

This hardly jives with Biden’s image, but Axios says, it’s “complicated.”

“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,” the outlet states.

When Biden was simply the Senator from Delaware, Ted Kaufman was his long-serving chief of staff. Kaufman told Axios that his former boss’s method of “challenging” his staff makes him a better executive.

“If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it,” Kaufman explained. “It’s not to embarrass people, it’s because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”

Biden wouldn’t have to get so angry, Axios suggests, if it weren’t for the fact that those around him refuse to talk to him like a “close family member.”

“Some administration officials, many of whom went to elite schools, struggle with Biden’s demand to ditch wonky, acronym-filled language and brief him as if they were talking to a close family member who isn’t in the D.C. bubble,” the outlet states.

“Biden’s defenders acknowledge he can be tough. But they also say he can be more generous and compassionate than many powerful politicians and can make them feel like family,” Axios assures readers. “That’s partly why so many aides have worked with Biden for decades, and go in and out of his orbit, they say.”

On Twitter, journalist Stephen L. Miller suggested Biden’s explosive temper could be a sign of Alzheimer’s.


Ben Shapiro noted Axios’s stunning spin on Biden’s outbursts.

“So Joe Biden is an elderly dotard who yells at the nurses around him,” he tweeted. “And naturally, the media treat this as a sign of his vigor and presidential temperament.”

“President Biden has a short temper and frequently lashes out at staff members with profanity-laden rants if they do not meet his expectations. And he is in charge of our NUKES,” noted the minority-owned SuperPAC AppSame. “Digging my fallout bunker deeper now.”
