Once a lying, dog-faced pony soldier, always a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.
During his campaign against President Donald Trump, candidate Joe Biden positioned himself as the anti-Trump: competent, compassionate, cool, calm, and collected. Democrats and their accomplices in the media rushed to advance this narrative. They touted his experience. They lauded his tenderness and kindness. Biden wouldn’t be the guy sending mean tweets late at night. He would get the job done.
Barely a year into his presidency, Biden has shown he is a worse president than anyone could have expected.
The president was caught on a hot mic cursing at Peter Doocy of Fox News after asking a question about inflation at a White House event on Monday. Biden was not pleased. And for a president who constantly proclaims his love for truth and democracy, he certainly seemed intolerant of Doocy’s question.
“That’s a great asset, more inflation,” Biden sardonically said, unaware his microphone was live. “What a stupid son of a b****.”
Had Trump been caught using such language, Democrats probably would have impeached him a third time and held a vigil on the steps of the Capitol. But this is who Biden has always been. He wasn’t the well-mannered statesman Democrats and the media tried to sell. He is the vulgar blowhard caught on a hot microphone.
Before this happened, two polls were released showing a majority disapproves of Biden and an even larger majority feels we’re headed in the wrong direction. Essentially, almost everything Trump said would happen if Biden was elected is coming to pass. The rest of the country is catching up.
On Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press, Chuck Todd declared Biden was “no longer seen as competent and effective.” Truth be told, this has been true since September. Biden’s failures with inflation and his inability to control the COVID-19 pandemic, the key plank in his campaign platform, has brought the country back to reality on his abilities as a leader.
Trump had his shortcomings and challenges, but Biden was specifically sold as a candidate better than Trump. Today, it is hard to think of anything good Biden has actually done.
The botched, barely planned withdrawal from Afghanistan? His inconsistent and sometimes incoherent messaging on the pandemic, which has gotten worse under his watch? His administration’s unpreparedness for COVID-19 variants? His total failure to handle the border crisis he created by urging migrants to come on over? His weakness toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is about to swallow Ukraine because he knows he can do it with Biden in office?
Biden has done nothing right. Barely a year into his presidency, he has shown that Trump was the better president.
