President Joe Biden is pushing for a new campaign strategy he believes will make former President Donald Trump, the likely nominee, “go haywire in public,” Axios reported.
Rather than focusing on the economy and jobs reports, Biden reportedly believes that if he repeatedly and publicly taunts Trump, the former president will lose his composure, an aide told Axios. Ahead of the 2024 election, sources tell Axios that behind the strategy, the president is reportedly looking for a fight.
The president has previously taken shots at Trump, warning that his return to the White House would be a “threat to democracy.” It’s a campaign theme that Biden has reportedly wanted to double down on, three sources close to the president told Politico.
“The president has always believed that it was his duty to get the nation beyond Trump,” an individual who spoke with Biden about his views on Trump previously told Politico. “He had hoped 2020 would have done it but it didn’t. So he has to do it again.”

The bipartisan committee, which has been gathering evidence for almost a year related to the January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol, will present its findings in a series of televised hearings. On January 6, 2021, supporters of former President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol Building during an attempt to disrupt a congressional vote to confirm the electoral college win for President Joe Biden.

Trump, on the other hand, revealed Monday, during an exclusive interview with Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese, that he doesn’t believe that Biden will make it to November.
“I think he’s in bad shape,” Trump told Coglianese. “I think he’s cognitively impaired, and he’s certainly physically impaired. He can’t walk off a stage. He can’t walk up a flight of stairs, you know, three stairs. And he can never find his way. He can never find the stairs. He can’t put two sentences together, and he’s responsible for negotiating with Putin on nuclear weapons, right? You know, the whole thing is crazy. No, personally I don’t think he’s going to make it. I may be wrong. A lot of people think that I’m absolutely wrong. I guess the odds are like 50/50.”
Axios notes that Biden’s potential campaign strategy could help quell concerns about the president’s fitness for office. Biden, 81 years old, has faced growing concerns surrounding his ability to stay in office. Amid the concerns, Biden also trails Trump in nearly all hypothetical matchups both nationally and across key swing states.

Ahead of 2024, 76% of American voters are worried about Biden’s age and health going into the 2024 election, according to a Feb. 6 NBC poll. Fifty-four percent of Democrats are worried about Biden’s fitness for a second term, the same poll
“If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running. But we cannot let him win,” Biden said during a Massachusetts fundraiser.
Yeah this will turn out well.
Same strategy China Joe used against Corn Pop.
Oh, nonsense.
Joe Biden believes it's his duty to sniff and grope little girls, and to beg Doctor Jill for chocolate pudding.
“an aide told Axios”
if this is indeed the strategy, why would you tell the media.
Our adversaries are depthlessly wicked and determined. I thank the Lordntheyre also dumb as posts
An AI Biden that speaks like Biden could be employed for that...it might be Tough for Trump to beat.
Trump is King of the Taunts so for Biden to adopt that strategy on his own will lead to his being eaten alive by Trump. Biden with a little AI mischief from his handlers might be able to do it!
I am surprised that Trump hasn’t brought up Biden’s proclivity for child sniffing.... Yet. Maybe he’s saving that for the general election campaign. It would be very easy to do because there is so much documentation.
Promises, promises.
“Biden reportedly believes that if he repeatedly and publicly taunts Trump”
oh, please, please, please do this! ... If Dementia Joe himself actually attempts this, he’ll come off looking ever MORE demented than ever ...
The true “threat to democracy “ is a DOJ that indicts political opponents.
As I have said before, if Stephen Miller is smart enough to tell Trump not to try and confuse the Zombie with speed, but to specifically needle the dumbass with a mix of provocation against family members, switched up with hard to follow argumentum, the Zombie will lock up and challenge Trump to a fight, or physically attack him. And the election is done then and there.
“Trump is King of the Taunts so for Biden to adopt that strategy on his own will lead to his being eaten alive by Trump.”
absolutely ... every opponent who tried to out-insult Trump simply came off looking like total morons ...
President Retard is already desperate
I pity Joe is he tells her the economy is in great shape. She will slap that ice cream cone away from his face.
Trump is a master level troll. Trump is in control of his temper. Biden can’t control his temper.
Just call him a dog-faced pony soldier. That should do it.
Exactly. I will taunt you and taunt you again. You silly MAGA Knigget
Bidung has always fancied himself to be a tough guy. In reality he’s a loudmouth punk. Trump is so intellectually superior that he will run rings around Bidung. This will be fun to watch but it’s probably just some junior staffer running his mouth.
