Hello, everyone. Let’s delve into the details of President Joe Biden’s recent interview with well-known broadcast journalist Lester Holt. Some key points from their conversation made quite an impression.

To begin with, the interaction between Biden and Holt wasn’t entirely smooth. In fact, in certain instances, the conversation became quite tense. A prime example is when Holt questioned Biden about his strong criticisms of former President Donald Trump, particularly in light of a recent assassination attempt. Surprisingly, Biden denied using any inflammatory language against Trump.


This is intriguing, considering there have been several instances when Biden has publicly used strong words against Trump.

In fact, according to the Daily Wire,

Examples of times that Biden has engaged in highly inflammatory rhetoric against the Trump includes:

  • March 22, 2018: “If we were in high school, I’d take him [Trump] behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.’”

  • September 1, 2022: “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

  • March 21, 2024: “That’s Hitler’s language. That’s not America’s.”

  • June 28, 2024: “Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”

  • July 8, 2024: “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

  • July 12, 2024: “Trump is a threat to this nation.”

When the possibility of another debate with Trump was mentioned, Biden appeared noncommittal. Holt inquired if Biden was eager to participate in another debate, to which Biden humorously responded, “I’m on the horse! Where have you been?”

Biden went on to defend his stance, asserting, “What I’m doing is going out and demonstrating to the American people that I have command of all my faculties, that I don’t need notes, I don’t need teleprom (sic).”

A delicate subject during the interview was when Holt mentioned allegations about Biden’s cognitive decline. This is a touchy matter, and Biden’s reaction was significantly heated. He insisted that the focus should be on the unfounded claims made by Trump, although he seemed to stumble over his words a bit.

Overall, the interview with Holt was quite charged. Biden clearly demonstrated a more confrontational side, making the conversation quite engrossing. Remember, though, politics can often get heated, but ultimately, everyone shares the common goal of wanting what’s best for our nation. Let’s strive to keep our political discourse respectful and productive. That’s all for now. Thank you for tuning in today, and keep an eye out for more updates.
