Biden's aides call Donald Trump 'Hitler pig': Cruel nickname is revealed in staffers' text messages following reports he dozed off in courtroom

Multiple aides working for President Joe Biden allegedly have a nasty name for their boss' opponent, former President Donald Trump. 

It was reported that several of the current president's younger staffers and other Democrats close to Biden use the nickname 'Hitler Pig' for Trump. 

A staffer referenced the nickname when reporter Maggie Haberman accused Trump of sleeping at his trial in New York City Monday.

'Hitler Pig sleepy' was what one person allegedly captioned the New York Times reporter's comments to CNN Monday.

At least four staffers anonymously confirmed to Politico that this is the nickname some staffers use for Trump.

They are not believed to be senior staffers, and the nickname has not made it to President Biden's lips. 

The nickname of 'Hitler Pig' was initially sparked when the former president invited Nick Fuentes - a professed white nationalist and anti-Semite - was invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Kanye West. 

Whenever Trump makes headlines, the younger staffers will allegedly text one another: 'Hey, did you see what Hitler Pig said?'

'Joe Biden talks a lot about decency, but he and his staff don't have a decent bone in their bodies,' Brian Hughes, a senior campaign adviser to Trump, said in a statement. 

'These ridiculous and gross comments reflect the failure and dishonesty of the entire Biden operation.' 

New York Times reporter Haberman told CNN that Trump struggled to stay awake and eventually dozed off as jury selection got underway at his hush money trial in New York.

'Trump appears to be sleeping,' Haberman tweeted from the room.

'His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack.'

Biden has restrained himself from commenting directly on his rival's legal woes but the Biden-Harris HQ X account gleefully retweeted Haberman's remarks, later adding: 'Donald Trump falling asleep in court doesn't speak to him as an engaged, energetic candidate.'

Biden's campaign team issued a release purportedly about poll ratings entitled 'Wake Up Donald: After Stormy Abortion Ban Coverage, Trump Poll Memo Attempts to Hush Panic'.

There was even less restraint on social media where hashtags including 'DonSnoreleone', 'The Nodfather', and 'Sleepy Don' quickly went viral.

The anti-Trump Republican Lincoln Project joked that '#SleepyDon was up late rage-posting on Truth Social'.

'He's not changing his sleeping patterns and he can't have 10 diet cokes in the courtroom,' joked comedian Dana Goldberg. 'He's going to fall asleep every. single. Day.'

'To me, that's I mean, it's insane,' Rachel Maddow told viewers on MSNBC. 

'It's also a reminder of how scary however scary and somber and important this is a reminder we are dealing with somebody who is just fundamentally buffoonish.'

But it was dismissed as '100 percent fake news' by the former president's campaign team who insisted he was the victim of a malicious media.

'This is 100% Fake News coming from 'journalists' who weren't even in the court room,' they said in a statement.

But others posted footage of the many times the sitting president appears to have drifted off in public settings.

The former president appeared slightly pink-eyed in photos taken in court, but most reporters claimed that Trump remained focused throughout.

'Donald Trump sat stony faced, eyes narrowed and lips pursed as his lawyers did battle with prosecutors over how many salacious (and untrue) National Enquirer headlines could be shown to jurors and whether they could hear him say 'grab them by their p*****s' or whether they could only read transcripts of the famous Access Hollywood tape,' DailyMail.com's Rob Crilly reported.

'Trump dominated the space among his legal team.

'He leaned back in his chair or shifted forward to look at a video screen, like a silverback gorilla reminding the courtroom of who was boss.

'When a decision went against him—like when Judge Juan Merchan ruled he would not be recusing himself—he briefly showed his frustration, giving a furious little nod.

'But at other times he did his impression of a legal scholar: Brow furrowed, head tilted as if he were considering the judge's ruling on admitting Molineux evidence.'

Word of the hostile reporting appeared to get back to Trump who allegedly 'glared' at Haberman for several seconds as he left court.

'He made a pretty specific stare at me and walked out of the room,' she told CNN.

'I want to be clear that I've seen lots of people fall asleep in courtrooms. I've seen jurors fall asleep. I've seen judges fall asleep.

'If anyone falls asleep who's a criminal defendant in a case, we're going to report on it.

'But he doesn't like when such things are reported and I'm guessing – I don't know – that that's what this was about.'

Jury selection is expected to last for the rest of the week as dozens of potential jurors are tested for potential bias against the ex-president who faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to disguise payments to former porn star Stormy Daniels.

Of the first batch of 96 prospective jurors, more than half had put up their hands on Monday to say they did not think they could be impartial. 

At each subsequent step, another handful admitted they could not put aside their feelings about Trump or outlined work clashes and were excused.

B354 said growing up in Texas and working in finance might leave him compromised by 'unconscious bias.'

Others who had said they had no problem with being impartial on Monday had second thoughts by Tuesday.

By Tuesday afternoon, Judge Merchan was ready to begin the business of selecting from the first batch of 18 to fill the final seats.

It made for a dramatic moment on day two of Trump's hush money trial. The former president went eye-to-eye with some of the Manhattan men and women who will deliver one of the most important verdicts in history. 

By the end of Wednesday, seven prospective jurors had survived and been sworn in. That means the court must find about five jurors plus six alternates by the end of Friday if the judge is to hit his target of holding opening statements on Monday.
