Biden says “time to put Trump in the bulls-eye” remark was a “mistake”

President Joe Biden told NBC News in an interview Monday that it was a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Republican nominee Donald Trump, but argued that the rhetoric from his opponent was more incendiary while warning that Trump remained a threat to democratic institutions.

“It was a mistake to use the word,” Biden said. “I meant [to] focus on him. Focus on what he's doing. Focus on his policies. Focus on the number of lies he told in the debate.”

The remark in question came during a private call with donors last week as Biden had been scrambling to shore up his imperiled candidacy with key party constituencies. During that conversation, Biden declared he was “done” talking about his poor debate performance and said it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye,” saying Trump has gotten far too little scrutiny on his stances, rhetoric and lack of campaigning.

The NBC interview — during which, at times, Biden grew defensive under questions about his fitness for office — came as the president and his reelection team prepared to resume full-throttle campaigning after a brief pause following the weekend assassination attempt on Trump. The Biden campaign let loose a flurry of criticism after the GOP nominee announced freshman Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate.

But "fight like hell" couldn't possibly have a figurative meaning, right, Biden?

I believe that Biden thinks he didn't do this. He probably just forgot.

He's 3 yrs older than Trump. The difference is Trump has a vision and brain. Biden is just a politician. He vision is self and friends. Trump thinks about the good of the country

If Biden meant "focus on him" why didn't he say "focus on him"?

and what about all the "danger to our democracy" & likening the man to 1930s Germany 24/7 for 9 years? Was all that a mistake too, Joe?
