If you thought Donald Trump might take a break from talking about Joe Biden now that he’s back in the Oval Office—think again. The man is obsessed.
According to an analysis by NBC News, Trump has mentioned Joe Biden 580 times since his inauguration. That’s an average of six times a day. For comparison, he’s referenced Biden more often than the word “America” in speeches. Let that sink in.
It’s gotten to the point where some political observers are diagnosing him with “Biden Derangement Syndrome”—a twist on Trump’s favorite insult for his critics, “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Irony, meet projection.
While Biden’s team has generally avoided taking direct shots at Trump (just 29 mentions in his first 100 days), Trump has been on a one-man mission to keep his predecessor top of mind. His latest speeches? Full of attacks on “Sleepy Joe.” His Easter message? A rant about Biden letting “millions of criminals” into the country. Even the White House Easter egg hunt wasn’t safe from Biden jokes—complete with a callback to the infamous Easter Bunny moment from 2022.
And let’s be honest, it’s not just casual name-drops. These are angry, personal, and relentless. Biden is “the worst president in history,” “incompetent,” “a destructive moron,” and—somehow—the victim of an Easter bunny coup. (Yes, really.)
Experts say Trump’s repetition isn’t random—it’s deliberate. Linguists have long warned about the power of repeating key phrases. Say something enough times and it starts to stick. It’s how “Crooked Hillary” became a brand. Now it’s all about “Sleepy Joe.”
It’s also part of Trump’s broader speaking style: heavy on familiar buzzwords like “tremendous,” “witch hunt,” and “fake news.” Add “Biden” to that list, apparently.
But it’s not just about political strategy—it’s personal. Trump seems unable to let Biden go. Whether it’s out of lingering resentment from the 2020 loss, fear of 2024 rematch karma, or just pure ego, one thing’s clear:
Trump is living rent-free in his own mind—and Joe Biden is the landlord.
