WASHINGTON, DC: The stage has been set, the bugle has been sounded, and the road to the White House re-election bid for the incumbent and the former US president is well and truly underway.

In a report by CNN on Friday, January 26, it was revealed that former US President Donald Trump was allegedly "rattled" by the recent mockery inflicted upon him by President Joe Biden.

The report cited an individual close to Trump who claimed that Biden's tactics, including labeling Trump a "loser," has gotten under the former president's skin.

Biden's campaign aides have reportedly stated that they will "keep up" with these taunts in the lead-up to the November general elections.



 

In response to this report, President Joe Biden came back with another taunt, this time by using former first lady Melania Trump's anti-bullying slogan, "Be Best," on the social media platform, X.

Biden uses Melania's 'Be Best' campaign to target Trump

CNN anchor Boris Sanchez reported on his show ‘CNN News Central’ on Friday, "He's hoping to throw off Donald Trump right off his campaign message by taking jabs at his likely Republican opponent. Recently, Biden has been mocking Trump, calling him things like 'loser' and emphasizing the 'former' in 'former president.'”

In an attempt to "focus on some of the major issues facing children today," such as bullying, online safety, and opioid abuse, Melania Trump started the ‘Be Best’ campaign in May 2018, according to Mediaite.

“By promoting values such as healthy living, encouragement, kindness, and respect, parents, teachers, and other adults can help prepare children for their futures,” the campaign stated at the time.

“With those values as a solid foundation, children will be able to better deal with the evils of the opioid crisis and avoid negative social media interaction.”

Additionally, the campaign asserted that “when children learn positive online behaviors early-on, social media can be used in productive ways and can effect positive change.”

The former first lady’s initiative caused a stir due to her husband's social media behavior that frequently ridiculed and harassed his opponents.

The campaign was particularly problematic given Donald Trump's inclination for cyberbullying.

Biden's recent post indicates that he is prepared to challenge his opponent through the medium that Trump is most familiar with.

In a move that is likely to enrage his predecessor, President Biden is looking to turn the tables on his formidable political opponent before the nation gets into the swing of a general election year.
