Now that the end of Joe Biden’s occupation of the White House is near, we’re seeing reports that dish on just how bad it was and how his “inner circle” went all in to protect him.
Among the things they did? They rearranged meetings to make sure Mr. Biden was in a better mood. They surrounded him with aides so the media would have more difficulty picking up his awkward walk that made him look so bad. They even had Biden use a teleprompter for small fund-raisers in private homes and asked people to provide questions for Joe in advance. That freaked out donors. And of course there were the infamous short stairs so he didn’t have to walk up the long stairs into Air Force One.
But that hasn’t stopped people from seeing how awful he’s been. Even this past week, when he announced the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Biden had difficulties, confusing the Emir of Kuwait with the Emir of Qatar, saying Hezbollah (not Hamas) had invaded Israel on Oct. 7, and calling his National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan “Secretary.” He even had trouble with just signing a simple bill.
And last night, President Trump “free styles” for almost an hour while signing E.O.s. 🙂
