Trump's aides discourage new nickname for Biden after debate performance
Summary: Donald Trump considered using a new nickname for President Joe Biden, reportedly wanting to call him "Retarded Joe Biden." This was allegedly discussed after Biden's poor debate performance in June.
Trump's aides advised against the nickname, warning it could alienate moderate voters. Trump’s spokesperson denied that the nickname was ever discussed.
While Trump has used various nicknames for Biden in the past, he has not publicly adopted this new one. Reports indicate he has used similar language privately in the past.
