While test-driving an electric truck during his visit to a Ford plant in Michigan, a member of the press attempted to ask about the ongoing crisis in the Middle east.

At a press conference in Geneva following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden lashed out at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins after she questioned him following their meeting. Biden angrily thought Collins was putting words in his mouth when she suggested he was confident Putin would change his malign behavior.

“What the hell, what do you do all the time?” Biden said, later adding, “If you don’t understand that, you’re in the wrong business.”

When he was getting along with the media, the president had a penchant for telling jokes that some believed were in poor taste.

Again during another press conference following the G20 summit, Biden opened the floor to questions saying, “And now I’m happy to take some questions. And I’m told I should start with AP, Zeke Miller.”

Biden also frequently sparred with members of the press, at one point calling O’Donnell a “pain in the neck,” and telling another they were in the “wrong business.”

When the president did speak to the press, he frequently called on reporters from a pre-determined list, or joked that he was not supposed to take questions from the press, drawing criticism that he was not actually in charge.

During a press conference following the attack on U.S. troops in Kabul, Afghanistan, Biden said he was instructed to call on reporters from a pre-approved list. “Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O’Donnell from NBC.”
