When former President Donald Trump has a beef with someone, it’s almost inevitable he will call that person a “loser” or a “stone cold loser.”

Now, President Biden is turning one of his predecessor’s favorite insults against him, using his first two campaign speeches of the year to pointedly label Trump a loser.

“Losers are taught to concede when they lose,” Biden said on Monday, noting that Trump violated a basic principle of American democracy by refusing to concede the 2020 election. “And he’s a loser.”

    Now, President Biden is turning one of his predecessor’s favorite insults against him, using his first two campaign speeches of the year to pointedly label Trump a loser.

    The South Carolina audience broke out into laughter and applause — just as a Pennsylvania crowd did a few days earlier after Biden discussed Trump’s failed efforts to challenge the election results in court.

    “He is a three-time loser,” Christie said in a Fox News interview over the summer, referring to the 2020 election, and the midterms in 2018 and 2022 where Trump-backed candidates did poorly.

    Calling Trump a loser “hurts his brand,” said Mike DuHaime, a political consultant who has long advised Christie.

    DuHaime conceded that Trump continues to maintain a winning brand despite a long line of losses both in politics and business.

    But in a campaign where some voters may have forgotten the chaos that ensued when Trump tried to overturn the results of the election, using the word “loser” is another way to remind them.
