Trump’s Three-Times-a-Day Obsession Exposed

NurPhoto / NurPhoto via Getty Images President Donald Trump has mentioned Joe Biden nearly 900 times this year—roughly three times a day.

A Reuters review found Trump has invoked Biden by name at least 890 times since January 1, across nearly 200 events and interviews and in around 190 Truth Social posts.

Biden, who has largely retired from public life after being diagnosed with stage four cancer, has become Trump’s go-to target for problems ranging from inflation and immigration to military shortages and foreign policy.

Trump has blamed him at least 210 times over the economy, 168 times over immigration and 138 times over foreign policy and national security.

He even brought up Biden at Melania Trump’s movie premiere, the National Prayer Breakfast and the White House Easter Egg Roll.

His daily record came at the July NATO summit, when he mentioned Biden 16 times.

Trump has also invoked Biden at least 37 times over the Iran war, accusing him of failing to confront Tehran and helping “create a monster with Iran”.

He has blamed Biden for international crises at least 138 times, including Ukraine, Iran, Afghanistan and China.

Former Biden White House official Meghan Hays described Trump’s focus as an “obsession”.

“Nine hundred mentions in less than a year isn’t governing, it’s an obsession.

Joe Biden beat him once and Trump still hasn’t gotten over it.

He’s more focused on re-litigating 2020 than lowering the cost of gas and groceries for the American people,” she told Reuters.

Trump’s repeated attacks on Biden come as Republicans head into the November 3 midterms.

While midterms are historically difficult for the party in power, things have been particularly bleak for the Republicans amid Trump’s deeply unpopular war against Iran.
