President Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation any longer and finally uttered the name of the man who had been living rent-free in his head for years—former President Donald Trump. After dodging saying Trump’s name for what seems like an eternity, Biden has suddenly started spouting it like it’s going out of style.
No longer satisfied with calling Trump “the other guy” or “my predecessor,” Biden seems to have realized that if you say someone’s name three times, they appear in the mirror—wait, no, that’s Candyman. But you get the point! Biden’s sudden surge of Trump-talking seems to be a deliberate strategy to distract everyone from his own lackluster performance and make the upcoming election all about Trump. Classic deflection move, Joe.
During a recent speech in South Carolina, Biden managed to say “Trump” an astounding 22 times, and threw in a couple of “loser” jabs and even came up with a snazzy new nickname for him—“Donald ‘Herbert Hoover’ Trump.” It’s like watching a schoolyard bully come up with new ways to insult the class nerd, only now it’s the leader of the free world doing the name-calling. How presidential.
The shift in Biden’s rhetoric comes as he desperately toggles between trailing and leading Trump in various battleground states. And it’s no wonder he’s panicking—his supporters are ditching him faster than a sinking ship, citing concerns over his age, the economy, and his stance on Israel. The poor guy just can’t catch a break, can he?
But Biden’s camp thinks they’ve found the silver bullet to save them from impending doom: attack Trump! If they can paint the election as a battle between democracy and whatever they claim Trump represents, maybe they can distract everyone from the mess they’ve made. It’s like trying to hide a bad report card from your parents by pointing out that your sibling got in trouble for drawing on the walls. Sneaky, sneaky.
Biden’s former aides spilled the tea, revealing that his refusal to say Trump’s name for so long was driven by his sheer contempt for the man. They claimed it was Biden’s way of trying to push Trump out of the spotlight and ease the tension lingering from Trump’s time in office and the Capitol riots. Talk about holding a grudge.
But the cat’s out of the bag now, and even other Democratic bigwigs like Nancy Pelosi can’t resist the urge to take a swipe at Trump. The former House Speaker, who had also been avoiding saying Trump’s name, finally caved and even took a jab at his “cognitive disorders” in a recent interview. It seems like Trump lives rent-free in a lot of heads these days.
Unsurprisingly, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is eating up this newfound obsession with Trump’s name, stating that every time Biden says it, people are reminded of the good ol’ days under Trump’s reign. Oh, to have low gas prices, record-low mortgage rates, a secure border, and peace around the world once again. Good times, good times.
