Joe Biden slams rival Donald Trump as a “sick f**k” to his close friends and aides when in private, sources have told US media.
Three people have heard the President use the insult to describe Trump when Biden is behind closed doors, Politico reported.
One claimed that Biden also recently said: “What a f***ing a****** the guy is.”
The White House has declined to comment.
Joe Biden reportedly calls Donald Trump a 'sick f**k' in private
GETTYLast month, during his Valley Forge speech commemorating the January 6, Biden almost swore on stage whilst describing Trump.
He said: “At his rally, he jokes about an intruder, whipped up by the Big Trump Lie, taking a hammer to Paul Pelosi’s skull.
“And he thinks that’s funny. He laughed about it. What a sick …,” he said, stopping himself short of using an expletive in public.
The US President is prone to angry outbursts and occasionally shows flashes of bad temper in public.

Alex Thompson, a reporter for Axios, wrote: “Behind closed doors, Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him.
“Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast.
The President’s admonitions include: "God dammit, how the f*** don’t you know this?", "Don’t f***ing bull**** me!" and "Get the f*** out of here!", according to current and former Biden aides that Thompson interviewed.

However, it is not just in private where the US President has launched into an expletive tirade.
In January 2022, his sharp tongue came to the fore when he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b****”.
In response to Biden’s alleged comments, the Trump campaign said: “It’s a shame that Crooked Joe Biden disrespects the presidency both publicly and privately.”
