Donald Trump Jr. recently took to his Twitter account and posted a Tweet taking a shot at President Joe Biden:
That story was so obviously placed & written to make it sound like Biden isn’t suffering from late stage dementia. https://t.co/qVC3p2JJ64

President Biden recently displayed a temper with aides behind closed doors and is known for cursing out White House staffers, according to a new report via New York Post— the latest to contradict the octogenarian’s carefully cultivated image as a folksy, kindly grandfather.
Current and former Biden aides told Axios the 80-year-old president has hurled insults such as “God dammit, how the f–- don’t you know this?!,” “Don’t f–-ing bulls— me!” and “Get the f–- out of here!”
Some say they are so fearful of the president’s wrath that they bring along colleagues to meetings as a kind of shield against Biden’s paint-stripping language.
“No one is safe,” not even senior aides, one administration official told the outlet.
In one particularly memorable exchange, Biden bore down on then-COVID czar and current White House chief of staff Jeff Zients in late 2021 for bungling the testing kit rollout for the Omicron variant.
The commander-in-chief will also angrily question West Wing staffers in an attempt to “stump” them, prodding them to brief him on topics in a conversational way that some have dubbed “speaking Biden.”
“If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it,” Ted Kaufman, Biden’s chief of staff from his time as a US senator, told the outlet. “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.”
“There’s no question that the Biden temper is for real,” added Chris Whipple, author of “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House.” “It may not be as volcanic as Bill Clinton’s, but it’s definitely there.”
