'Obsessed' Trump has mentioned Joe Biden a staggering 580 times since becoming president
U.S.
President Donald Trump
is known for his unique vernacular and tendency to repeat phrases, and though he says 'the most beautiful word' is 'tariffs,' experts counted and found that there's one thing he mentions most - his predecessor,
Joe Biden
.
According to an analysis by
NBC News
,
Donald Trump
talks about Biden an average of 'six times' a day, adding up to 580 mentions of Biden since his January 20 inauguration. Meanwhile, a separate
New York Times
analysis found that Trump
mentioned Biden's name
more than he said the word "America" during his first 50 days.
Liberal pundits have characterized
Trump's constant invocation
of his once-opponent "Biden Derangement Syndrome," cleverly named for
Trump's insistence
that the 'fake news media' has 'Trump Derangement Syndrome,' experts at NBC say. It has led to some accusing Trump of being "obsessed" with Biden in posts online.

In contrast, Biden spoke about Trump just 29 times in the first 100 days of his presidency, according to the same report.
Trump, who says, he's 'got the best words,' has taken every chance he can to slam Biden. Just two days ago in a speech, Trump once again railed against
Biden
, labeling him the 'worst president in history.'
Prior to the White House Easter event, Trump went on a ranting rampage taking aim at his enemies, saving space for a special message for Joe Biden. "Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He finished with more insults, stating that Biden was "by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing. But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!"
But that wasn't it for the Easter celebratory Biden shout-outs. At the actual egg hunt, Trump, began to tell an anecdote. 'Do you remember the bunny with Joe Biden? Do you remember when the bunny took Joe Biden out? He's not taking Trump out," Trump joked. The person in the bunny costume standing next to him nodded along.

For the final Biden dig of the weekend, the White House's official X account posted a video of the quip, captioned, 'The White House is no longer a nursing home.'
The 47th US president had previously mentioned Biden an impressive 13 times during a speech to Congress last month.
At his inauguration alone, Trump mentioned Biden a dozen times, which is about half of how many times the Biden administration mentioned Trump in his first 100 days.
Trump's repetition is part of a speech pattern, however, as a
Politico analysis
noticed that there's a number of words Trump uses repeatedly, including, 'beautiful' (one of his most used), 'Witch hunt,' 'Fake news,' 'Tremendous,' 'Swamp,' and 'Huge.'
The repetition of speech is a psychological maneuver that experts sounded the alarm on during the first Trump presidency. "It's effective when people hear things over and over, it sticks in their minds," said Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, in a 2017 interview with USA Today.
She added, "Where did people come away with this idea that Hillary can't be trusted? We heard it over and over."

US officials discussed potential relocation of Palestinians to Libya
BY Libyan Express May 17, 2025 - 06:17 Updated: May 17, 2025 - 06:18 Trump administration explored Gaza-Libya resettlement plan NBC News has reported that the Trump administration has held discussions with Libyan officials regarding a possible plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, according to sources including a former US official. The report states that discussions included the potential release of billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets that have been held for over a decade. According to the sources cited, the proposal reportedly included offering financial incentives such as housing and salaries to encourage voluntary relocation. The report indicates significant logistical and financial questions remain unanswered, including implementation timeline, specific locations within Libya for settlement, and practical challenges of relocating large numbers of people. In February, President Trump made public statements envisioning Gaza as the 'Riviera of the Middle East' under 'American management,' which the report connects to these discussions. The reported discussions appear to represent a shift from previous US positions that encouraged Arab nations to assist with Gaza reconstruction while opposing permanent relocation of Palestinians. NBC News also reported that the administration had previously considered Libya as a destination for certain immigrants from the United States, though those plans encountered legal challenges. Neither the White House nor Libyan officials have provided official confirmation of these discussions at the time of reporting.

Princess Reema Wears Custom Honayda Gown for Trump's Historic Visit to Saudi Arabia
As U.S. President Donald Trump touched down in Riyadh to kick off his Middle East tour, all eyes were not only on diplomacy but also on style — notably, the powerful sartorial statement made by Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States, Her Royal Highness Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud. Marking the high-profile occasion, Princess Reema was seen wearing a bespoke royal blue gown created by celebrated Saudi designer Honayda Saleh Serafi, founder and creative director of the label Honayda. The floor-length gown, adorned with intricate Arabic and Islamic embroidery, stood out as a sophisticated blend of heritage and modern elegance. In an exclusive interview with Vogue Arabia, Honayda expressed her pride in crafting the piece: "Creating this bespoke piece for Her Royal Highness Princess Reema bint Bandar for this historic moment in Riyadh, as she welcomes President Trump, is a true honour for me. She represents the strength, progress, and boundless potential of Saudi women — a leader breaking barriers and inspiring change." The choice of royal blue was intentional, Serafi noted, symbolizing 'her power and wisdom,' while the detailed motifs woven into the fabric pay homage to Saudi Arabia's deep-rooted cultural and artistic legacy. 'It's a deeply meaningful moment for me to see her shine,' Serafi added, 'embodying the spirit of empowerment that my designs stand for.' Princess Reema, known for her trailblazing role as the Kingdom's first female ambassador and her work advocating for women's empowerment, often uses fashion as a means of quiet diplomacy — reflecting national pride and social progress through carefully curated style. This moment not only underscores the significance of Trump's visit but also highlights the evolving role of Saudi women on the global stage — where tradition, identity, and leadership meet in striking form.

Trump urges end to Ukraine conflict and pushes for ceasefire
BY Libyan Express May 10, 2025 - 08:51 President Donald Trump speaks with reporters as he signs an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House, Friday, May 9, 2025. (AP) US President Donald Trump called on Friday for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to end the war in Ukraine as he advocates for a 30-day ceasefire. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office ahead of his Monday departure for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, Trump responded to a question about his message to Putin following a US embassy warning about potential air attacks on Kyiv. 'I have a message for both parties: Get this war ended. Get this stupid war finished. That's my message for both of them,' Trump stated. The US embassy in Kyiv had posted on its website that it received information about a possible air attack that could occur within the next several days, advising US citizens to 'be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced.' The White House reported that Trump held a 'very good and productive' telephone conversation with Zelensky on Thursday, and expressed hope that both Ukraine and Russia would agree to the proposed 30-day ceasefire next week. During Friday's press briefing, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reiterated that Trump would not meet with Putin during his forthcoming Middle East trip. In Kyiv, Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, disclosed that he spoke by telephone on Friday with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other officials regarding the proposed ceasefire and potential peace settlement. 'The main focus was the question of the ceasefire and prospects for a peace settlement,' Yermak wrote on Telegram, adding that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg participated in the call alongside Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov. 'Also discussed was the importance of implementing the points on which our presidents agreed,' Yermak added.
