The number of chances President Joe Biden has been given to show he’s capable of doing this job would make many of his predecessors envious. Who gets this many chances to show they have presidential timber? And how disturbing is it that he’s failed at every single one?
It’s a horrid cocktail of incompetence and all-around depravity with Biden. With the nation reeling from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the president had a chance to show he was capable of leading and showing moral clarity in this dire time. He failed miserably but did try. Yet, to paraphrase NFL Hall of Fame Coach Bill Parcells, there are no gold stars for trying.
First, the delivery was abysmal. Biden’s age and mental decline have more people—around 75-80 percent—thinking he deserves to be wheeled into a nursing home than run the country. The tone is atrocious, tired, and worn down, almost as if his body tells him he can’t do the job.

Second, the president’s inability to hold himself into account is appalling. He claims to have never engaged in heated rhetoric, and the only reason he seems to think that, besides his dementia, is that he’s not Trump. That’s a little boy’s answer. In 2018, Biden threatened to assault Trump. During his last trip to Michigan, which was days before the assassination attempt on the former president’s life, Joe said, “Most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation."
Biden has been calling Trump and his supporters, which is half the country, existential threats for years, even scaring liberals into thinking that Trump could become a dictator. If Biden believes that, being president right now, he has an appalling illiteracy in how our institutions work. Even worse, a puerile and sophomoric understanding of our government. Biden is a moron, but he’s not weapons-grade mentally deficient, though, at times, I need to question that myself.
He knows what he’s doing is likely wrong, but “orange man…bad” is his only fuel to animate the Democratic Party base, but even that is no longer effective. The Trump is a threat to democracy attack line has been neutralized. You already know this: it’s all a political show.
The president probably isn’t sad over the attack on Trump, thinking he probably deserved it. It took an inexcusable amount of time for Biden to release a statement on the assassination attempt, which read as hurried and cold. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Governor Gavin Newsom each issued statements on the incident that were quicker and better written than the president’s. Then, this address to the nation was broken up into two parts because the Biden White House needs to appear as if it’s busy.
The president didn’t take accountability for increasing the supposedly heated rhetoric. The man who said Trump was a threat to the country, threatened to assault, and said he would be a dictator says he’s not responsible nor didn’t engage in such heated rhetoric, which is wrong and a lie. Of course, Biden claims that Trump always does, but he’s not the president. He is. Biden is an insufferable bastard, cold and vindictive. He's not Mr. Empathy. He’s a world-class a**hole, who thinks his accomplishments are something to behold. He doesn’t have any, and the ones he does have are few and far between, with the rest being executive orders. It’s a little sad. The dude in 12th place thinks he’s some top-tier political talent.
Joe couldn’t even manage being a good spokesman for an adult diaper company, and that’s who runs this country.
