Joe Biden 'has a short fuse' and 'cuts off staff' during tense White House conversations

JOE Biden who has gained the reputation as Mr. Congeniality reportedly has a "short fuse" with his advisers.

The President is said to be prone to "flares of impatience" because he is obsessed with getting every single detail before making a decision. 

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told The New York Times: "He has a kind of mantra: 'You can never give me too much detail'."

This means, he said, Biden’s advisers, aides and speechwriters have to be ready for every conceivable question he might ask.

But If he does not like the answer, he will reportedly cut them off and say.

Although Biden is not said to be prone to fits of rage like Donald Trump was, his "sense of urgency" can be tough on his aids.

Dylan Loewe, a former speechwriter for Biden, said: "You become so hyper prepared.

"I've got to answer every conceivable question he can come up with."

On March 30, Biden was reportedly furious at his administration's response to the plight of migrant children.

Xavier Becerra, head of Health and Human Services (HHS), frustrated the President by failing to have answers to his questions about the agency's ability to take care of unaccompanied kids according to two people familiar with the exchange.

Nearly 19,000 unaccompanied minors were stopped at the border in March, according to the Associated Press. 

The report comes amid growing anger among Border Patrol agents at the White House.

Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing three-quarters of the roughly 20,000 border patrol agents, criticized Biden's leadership on the migrant situation.

'Judd said: "I can confidently say that President Biden owns this crisis. It is his fault."

There are currently more than 20,000 migrants in HHS custody, up from just under 12,000 at the end of March.

The Associated Press reported that migrants are being housed at more than 200 sites in multiple states.

Twenty Republican governors this week wrote to Biden earlier this week, blaming his administration for the crisis, and expressed concern about HHS efforts to house an unknown number of children in their states.
