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.”
Video of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden is played during a hearing by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol in the Cannon House Office Building on June 13, 2022 in Washington, DC. 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 ought to get interesting, given that Slow Joe is target rich, and quite incoherent. On the other hand, Trump is quick on his feet, just look at the way he eviscerated Hillary when she got nasty during one of their debates.
To make it look like the POTATUS still has enough functioning neurons to formulate a stratagem.
Slow Joe is just one more unhinged Trump rant away from another cerebral hemorrhage
Trump lives to taunt people like Joe
Anything but the issues....
Regardless, go for it. I dont think Biden knows what he’s in for but I suspect Trump will destroy Biden. Trump taunts people so they play HIS game. Sounds like Biden falling for it
buying shares in popcorn...
All Trump has to do is mention to Joe Biden’s face that he molested his daughter in the shower and watch Biden SQUIRM..NO ONE has brought this up to Biden even though his own daughter has NOT disputed it, in fact she was on Project Veritas video saying that her diary “its complicated” she said, she never denied the allegations that joe Biden sexually abused her, bring it up to him and watch what happens
Biden trying to repeatedly taunt Trump would be a gift, wrapped in a beautiful bow.
If it happened in a debate (which it wont, because I guarantee Biden will not debate Trump), then Trump could calmly hold on to the podium and respond with, “who is the Presidential one now?”
If Biden tries to go low in the media, he will be eaten alive. He destroys the very last redeeming quality that he has (the semi-likable and non-threatening old white guy persona that the media created) and opens himself up to memes and trolls.
Right. Biden’s dementia has impaired his emotional regulation and impulse control. Once he starts on some inane rant, he will go too far. Expect lots of shouting by Biden, hopefully none by Trump.
I have been looking at dates.
The new Congress takes their seats a few days before Jan 6, when EVs are counted.
If the Dems take both houses, they could stop the count. But beyond that, even if they choose not to stop the count, there are enough days to pass a law that will not permit Trump to end DOJ activity already underway. They could pass this and get it to Biden before Jan 20.
The only way to stop this sort of thing is the 60 votes in the Senate requirement, and it is possible there would not be 40 votes to stop that.
My dad used to say; “Son, NEVER react. Only ACT”
Trump already knows this wisdom and will not be baited into Biden’s handler’s juvenile attempted trap
All they have to do to do that is hardwire Biden’s brain into Trump. The stupidity overload coming from Biden would be massive.

Go ahead said the spider to the fly…..
They’ve been doing this from the beginning. Schoolyard provocations, mostly. Childish, really.
“They could pass this and get it to Biden before Jan 20.…”
Pass a law that the executive isn’t t in charge of an office in the executive branch? Hell they can cut to the chase and just pass law the the president can’t do anything at all.
Yup—President Trump knows that he sets the agenda.
Everything else is just noise.
LOL!
The things that the beta-males puppeting Ol' Rumpleforeskin believe!
A taunter like Trump main-lines that stuff like a fine steak.
He thinks he is running against Trump 1.0. But 2.0 is highly disaplened, more confident and calmer. Let Brandon rant and rave.
bwa haha 
.
Let’s hope he does, because Trump knows just how to push Sleepy Joes buttons. Just mention Hunters “pics” or the ignored granddaughter and Joe will go off on a rant - he’s so thin-skinned and he knows the family is one hot mess.
