In an interview with NBC News airing Monday, US President Joe Biden acknowledged that it was a “mistake” to use the phrase “bull’s-eye” about Donald Trump during his 2020 presidential campaign. Biden clarified that he intended to emphasize the importance of focusing on Trump’s rhetoric and its potential impact on democracy rather than promoting aggressive action against his opponent. Biden stressed that while he regretted using that particular word, he believed it was crucial to highlight the significant threats posed by Trump’s statements to the democratic process.

He contrasted his approach with what he perceived as more inflammatory rhetoric from Trump, such as previous comments about potential unrest if he lost the election. The president underscored that he aimed to address the real threats to democracy posed by such rhetoric, posing a rhetorical question about whether it would be prudent to remain silent in the face of statements that could potentially incite violence or undermine democratic institutions. Biden reiterated that he did not engage in such rhetoric, positioning his comments as a necessary response to Trump’s statements and their implications.
