Some White House staffers have been forced to tiptoe around President Biden when briefing him on certain topics because they want to avoid eliciting his wrath and are “scared s–tless” of him, a new report says.
“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’”a senior administration official told Politico, referring to how some of the 81-year-old president’s aides feel they have to walk through a minefield before briefings to avoid him getting angry with them.
“It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing,” the source said. “Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s—less of him.”

Biden “doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the source said.
The White House vehemently rejected the characterizations of the president, with Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates stressing to The Post on Tuesday, “That’s simply not who he is.”
In the past, allegations have emerged about Biden having a hair-trigger temper and reaming out aides — sometimes with profane language — when vexed by certain developments.
The president’s temper has flared publicly on occasion, too, including when faced with tough questions from The Post.

Other aides have reportedly sought to bring a colleague with them to meetings for moral support.

I bet a lot of resumes got updated over the weekend. Wonder how soon we’ll be seeing people quit?
The leaks and backstabbing begin...
The knives are out for old sleepy Joe.
Actually, this has been known for some time. However, now that the knives are out for Joe it is all coming out. It just shows how much the Democrats, and the media were protecting him.
On most applications, there is often that nagging question:
“May we contact your present employer?” Yes or No?
If you check ‘H*ll-No!!’, the unspoken response is usually “Why?”
It was probably him and not the dog who was biting everyone.
Biden “doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the source said.
As if Creepy Joe makes any decisions!
I remember the New York Magazine articles on the sad decline of Nixon when he was under fierce attack.
“The Nixon Blues” was one phrase and they showed Nixon in a painted night scene, sitting and playing the piano. He had gotten out of bed in the wee hours, going to play the piano to cope.
Sad.
The challenge will be if Democrats blacklist anyone bailing on Biden in an effort to stop them from leaving.
He can launch ICBMs.
Scared of Biden? Who does he think he is Hillary?
Take the nuclear football away from him and give it Jill.
Biden’s campaign chair told 500 donors concerned after the debate, Biden is fine. He’s probably healthier than all of us.
He’s going to blow a brain vein with all the Adderall he’s popping
Forget the emotional outbursts and verbal abuse....
Imagine the smell from the unchanged diapers!!!!
They’ll probably get crappy references from the White House.
The news these days is like manna from heaven. It almost makes me want to read or watch the MSM. Almost.
“Take the nuclear football away from him and give it Jill.”
That’s the ticket, everything is going to be fine.
HELL-—NO
