Good-natured "Uncle Joe": US President is feared by employees because of his short temper.

US President Joe Biden likes to present himself as the jovial “Uncle Joe” in public.

Joe Biden in the Oval Office: staff don't want to meet him alone

Admittedly, his progressive old age, tripping accidents, and frequent slips of the tongue are more conspicuous. But otherwise, an image of the 80-year-old was cultivated as an affable leader with a soft spot for ice cream and aviator sunglasses.

He would instead be briefed outside Washington's political circles like a close family member.

Some employees would even like Biden to display this internally demonstrated "fire" more often in public. But he prefers to rely on his "uncle" image. Sometimes, however, his temper breaks through in the crowd: Over an open mic was once captured when he insulted "Fox News" reporter Peter Doocy (35) as a "stupid son of a bitch."

Biden is one of many U.S. presidents to burst a collar regularly. The outbursts of their predecessor Donald Trump (77), were also legendary. And Bill Clinton (76) is said to have raged the worst: His outbursts of rage were described as "volcanic" ...
