President Joe Biden apparently has a very different persona behind closed doors, according to a new report.

An insider claimed the president, 80, swears and insults staffers while inside the White House, with him consistently saying: “God d*****, how the f*** don’t you know this?!,” “Don’t f******* bulls*** me!” and “Get the f*** out of here!”

“If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it,” Ted Kaufman, Biden’s chief of staff from his time as a U.S. senator, stated of his attitude. “It’s not to embarrass people, it’s because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”

Chris Whipple, who wrote The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House, claimed "there's no question that Biden's temper is for real. It may not be as volcanic as Bill Clinton’s, but it’s definitely there.

Whipple wrote about how former White House press secretary Jen Psaki previously noted, "I said to [Biden] multiple times, 'I'll know we have a really good, trusting relationship when you yell at me the first time.'"
