But now a book claims that President Joe Biden too had a nickname for the former president but that could not be used publicly. It was only for private use, behind the doors. And the nickname is "that f**king a**hole", CNN reported in a preview of journalist Bob Woodward's 'War'.

But Donald Trump is not the only one whom Biden abuses in private, he calls refers to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "that son of a bit**, Bibi Netanyahu', and Russian president Vladimir Putin as "that fu*king Putin".

"Putin is evil. We are dealing with the epitome of evil," Biden said.

"Woodward’s new book, which was obtained by CNN ahead of its October 15 release, gives an unvarnished, in-the-room account of key moments as Biden and his national security team navigate international crises, from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to confronting Putin before he invaded Ukraine to private battles with Netanyahu," CNN reported.

Another sensation revelation in the book is that Biden criticized former President Barack Obama's handling of Putin's invasion of Crimea in 2004 and said, "Barack never took Putin seriously."

Biden's private dealings with Kamala Harris
The book reveals that Kamala Harris was once concerned about Biden's isolation and called one of his closest associations. “I’m calling to ask you — to really beg you, actually — could you please talk to the president more than you talk to him?” Harris said to Biden’s friend. “Your president really loves you. You should talk to him more often than you do.”

“The Biden associate was candid with the vice president. Look, one of the biggest reasons that Biden calls me, the associate said, is I provide him a level of comfort to the point where he can swear freely about ‘what a f**king a**hole Joe Manchin is.’” Woodward wrote.

Kamala Harris laughed and said: “That might be the only reason that he still really is comfortable with me to a point because he knows that I’m the only person around who knows how to properly pronounce the word motherf**ker.”
