Biden calls Trump ‘that f**king a**hole’ behind closed doors: book

Joe Biden uses a vulgar nickname for Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, a new book claims.

President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book.

“That f — king a — hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week.

In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all.

The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings, occasionally switching to “bulls — t” or “dammit” as the mood takes him.

Woodward’s book is advertised by publisher Simon & Schuster as “an intimate and sweeping account of one of the most tumultuous periods in presidential politics and American history,” with special focus on Biden’s handling of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

The book includes an account of a phone call between Biden and former President George W. Bush, in which the 43rd president consoles the commander-in-chief during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

“Oh boy, I can understand what you’re going through,” Bush told Biden, according to Woodward, adding that “I got f — ked by my intel people, too.”

The White House did not respond to an inquiry from The Post.
