Aides to Joe Biden describe the president as having a 'short fuse' but he never erupts in fits of

rage like Donald Trump

President Joe Biden is "obsessed with detail" and will "often snap" if advisors don't answer his many questions, the New York Times reported Friday.

In an in-depth new portrait by Times, more than a dozen former and current staffers paint a picture of a president who takes his time with the decision-making process, making sure he gets opinions from all sides before coming to a conclusion.

"He has a kind of mantra: 'You can never give me too much detail,''' Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told the Times.

But Biden is also gripped by a sense of urgency, which leaves him prone to "flares of impatience," the Times reported.

Trump would lose it if you didn't kiss his ass.

1. Silent anger is the scariest

Being a loudmouth angry person just makes you look like a total freaking buffoon

2. Joe doesn't suffer fools.

3. Some 'aides' trying to create a 'story?'

Who DOESN'T have a temper, sometimes???

10. Not even temper but impatience

This is the current “tan suit “

Incredibly good news that this is the worst they can come up with

13. Quite right.

5. It can be infuriating

when people are thinking slower than you are or you need them to be.

I suspect that is what happens to Joe. It doesn't have to lead to an explosion. Exasperation does not equal a temper fit, unless you choose it to.

6. Since he is certainly controllable, having seen it often, it leads me to the short fuse

statement. Mine can say i have a short fuse but like I told the kids, you didn't see the ten times I was patient before tht fuse finally popped off. Don't see the patients, only see the moment of short fuse and since I have literally watched him control that fuse, I ponder that.

7. I don't mind a president who snaps at others when the occasion calls for it.

He is trying to run a tight ship and has so much on his shoulders.
I would be screaming my head off 24/7.

8. THIS is now a 'scandal'?

" a president who takes his time with the decision-making process, making sure he gets opinions from all sides before coming to a conclusion."

I don't know about anyone else but I WANT a President that does that. The best ones do.

[PortTack]

9. There have been so many shitty NYT stories about Biden or what frump is doing, I don't believe

Anything they say anymore!! Rage like frump..not buying it!

Habberman and that evil Michelle Goldberg, Charles blow..seems he despises Biden

[Metaphorical]

11. Beware the passive/aggressive label

The last guy was an extreme extrovert - he would rant, scream and yell at people, would never listen to advice, and refused to take criticism.

Joe Biden is an introvert, albeit a very balanced one. He listens, seeks input, explores options, and tries to get as well-rounded a view of the situation as possible. When people take up too much of his time with low-value input he likely does get impatient.

Introverts keep their emotions very much in check, especially negative ones, though if you are an introvert yourself you can usually sense when other introverts are annoyed because they become less responsive in conversations. Extroverts will often take the lack of response not as a warning sign but as an invitation to continue the annoying behavior, then when the introvert finally has had enough and responds sharply, the extrovert pulls out the passive/aggressive label.

I see the RW media already gearing up with that as a base theme - Biden is peevish, gets annoyed easily, is passive/aggressive. There's definitely negative messaging at play.

12. Any word about getting everyone around a table to exclaim how godlike he is?

No?

Imagine that.
