US President Donald Trump has named Joe Biden almost 900 times this year, blaming his predecessor for inflation, immigration, and foreign crises, even as the 83-year-old former president, who is being treated for Stage 4 cancer, has all but vanished from public life.

The tally comes from a Reuters review of Trump's speeches, interviews, and Truth Social posts since 1 January. It found he called Biden out by name at least 890 times across nearly 200 events and about 190 online posts, averaging about three a day.
